TOPIC: THE SECRET OF A PEACEFUL LIFE – LIVE IN RIGTHEOUSNESS
TEXT: Isaiah 32:16-18
KEY VERSE: Psalm 85:10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. 

Get righteousness and peace will follow. Have you noticed that when you offend somebody you don’t have peace until you go and say, “I am sorry for what I did?” It is like when a dust particle gets into your eye, you don’t have peace until it is removed.  You will be restless and your eyes will be blinking, running water until somebody comes around to help you blow it out. Once the disturbing particle is out, you become peaceful and you can now blink normally without any stress. What the dirt particle does to the eye is what sin does to your life. It makes you restless. You have spoken some lies, so you are always afraid. You have gone into immorality, you will become afraid – afraid of unwanted pregnancy, afraid of contacting the HIV virus or being found out by your wife or husband, so you become restless.

There was a story about a particular young boy in the University of Abuja who was approached by a woman to help her out in her academics. This young man did not have a good understanding of the risk involved in allowing a woman to come to his room or maybe he thought he could restrain himself for he was a virgin. One day, that woman came visiting and this heavy rain started. The rain stretched into the night such that the woman could not go home again. She slept in the boy’s room. Now Satan is at work. Before he knew it, he had slept with the woman and in the process he contacted the HIV virus. Since then, he lost his peace. The misadventure of just one night took away the peace of a lifetime! Be righteous and you will see peace because righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Do that which is right and you will be fine. Are you constantly faced with temptation? Commit it to Jesus in prayer.

A woman was always fighting with her husband so she approached a pastor for solution. Sensing the cause of the problem, the pastor applied wisdom and gave her candle wax that was moulded like a small ball. He told her, “Anytime your husband picks quarrel with you, go into the room and put this medicine in your mouth but make sure he doesn’t see it.” She did this over time and to her surprise, the husband started to mellow down because while she kept the object in her mouth, she too couldn’t reply the husband. She thought it was the “medicine” working, but the truth is that the object kept her from sinning, so righteousness and peace kissed each other in her home.

Thought for the day:  Righteousness promotes peace. Do not forsake it.
Song for the day:    We have come to thee o Lord (2x) ... That it might be well with us
Bible reading for the day:  2 Chronicles 32-33; John 18:24-40

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...

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...
