TOPIC: BEWARE OF STRIFE AMONG BRETHREN         October Tuesday 22nd
TEXT: NUMBERS 16: 1-4
KEY VERSE: Numbers.16: 3  And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?
We want to consider a case study that will prove to you how much damage ‘SELF’ can cause in a church or amongst believers. We will be considering the case of Dothan, Korah, and Abiram. Korah, like all other Levites, was called by God to the office of ministering and presenting offerings in the tabernacle. Aaron, on the other hand, was singled out to be the high priest and in addition to that, God ordained that the priesthood should be in his lineage that is through his sons. When Korah noticed this position given to Aaron by God, he reasoned within himself that this was a more honorable position than his, this was because Aaron in his position as high priest, served in the presence of the congregation, as a result of this; he was filled with envy. Within his heart, he reasoned, ‘who is this man that is taking all things unto himself, who does he think he is? This kind of reasoning is one of the fruits of this ‘self’ we have been discussing. If Korah had crucified his self and all selfish notions in him, he would not have entertained such evil thinking in his heart against Aaron.
If Korah had been dead to self, he would have no problem with God’s appointment of Aaron as the high priest, but because he did not deal with his carnal nature, he allowed himself to be used of the enemy to stir up great trouble in the camp of God’s people. Korah was known and respected in the congregation, among the people of Israel and was also accepted by the people. This general acceptance from the Israelites made Korah believe he was a better fit for the position of the high priest that was bestowed on Aaron by God. As a result of this erroneous and untamed thinking in Korah, confusion started spreading through the camp. Korah went to other people and started politicizing them; he was able to get Dothan and Abiram as his committed disciples. He worked on the minds and hearts of many, convincing them that he was a better candidate for the position of the high priest than Aaron was.
Thought for the day: Beware of strife among brethren
Song for the day: Give me love for my brethren
Bible reading for the day:
Jeremiah 7-8; 1Timothy 2

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
