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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. January Saturday 18th TOPIC: HOW TO ATTAIN BIBLE HOLINESS TEXT: Romans 6:20-23 KEY VERSE: Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Besides the essential knowledge of the holy life of a Christian, it is good to understand the manner and process of becoming holy before God. Holiness of life is a life that has overcome sin through the saving power of Jesus Christ. Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. It is a life that does not commit sin. 1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Getting this experience requires four things: 1. Know that apart from holiness, there is no alternative lifestyle for heaven. Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holin...
