TOPIC: OFFER YOUR BEST TO GOD IN RETURN FOR HIS GOODNESS
TEXT: Ezekiel 16:8-15
KEY VERSE: Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.

God has always offered you the best in life, so you too ought to give back to Him the best of your life in appreciation.  In the beginning, God created you in a special way, fearfully and wonderfully in His own very image. He made you a replica of Himself, even though you are a lower being. That is great and wonderful indeed. Adam and Eve, our progenitors, messed up and corrupted their beings thereby making themselves liable to death and eternal damnation. God did not abandon them to their fate. He came to their rescue by instituting a redemption plan through Jesus (John 3:16). God has always been there for you, offering you the best of life even when you don't deserve it. In today’s reading text, we see a metaphor of God’s rescue plan and display of love for sinful Israel. The ornaments of gold and silver mentioned in this passage are not physical objects but symbols of God’s loving care and protection.

Ezekiel 16:15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was. In this text, God is opening a charge of infidelity against you, as He did against Israel, who repaid Him evil for the all His goodness. What offence has God committed that He deserves such treatment from you? He could have killed you as a sinner, but He purposely extends your days on earth, so that He may show the bountifulness of His love and mercy, giving you more grace to repent. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. You colluded with Satan to contend against God and to oppose His kingdom on earth, but He is not discouraged. He is still stretching out His hand of fellowship asking you to repent and return to Him. Now, why don’t you live to please God. It is not as if God needs you to exist; rather, it is you that needs God to live. God is not the beneficiary of your righteousness, you are!

Thought for the day: Your righteousness is for you own good, not God’s benefit.  (Job 22:2-3).
Song for the day: Create in me a clean heart o Lord, and renew a right spirit within me
Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 23-25; John 16:16-33

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
