TOPIC: PRISCILLA’S ACQUAINTANCE WITH PAUL         October Friday 4th
TEXT: Acts 18:1-3
KEY VERSE: Acts 18: 2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them. 
Paul, the Apostle became acquaintance with Aquila and Priscilla in Corinth, when he came there for gospel work. He stayed there due to a professional commonality that attracted him with them. In other words, they were tentmakers by profession. They spent a couple of days for quite a long period. It is today like the Apostle Paul coming to your town and living with you and your family in the same house. Paul, the apostle was a nobleman of wisdom, full of grace, insight, compassion, great calling, and sold out for the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Living in the same house and compound with such a personality was viewed as a great privilege by Priscilla. She grabbed that privilege and didn’t joke or toy with it. In a similar account, the shunammite woman perceived Elisha as not an ordinary man but a great Prophet of God that deserved to be treated with respect. She said to her husband that I perceived that this is a holy man of God when Elisha was passing by their house on a regular basis. The Shunammite woman together with her husband agreed to provide housing for Elisha in their house for a while. Elisha’s presence in that house turned the situation of the woman by having a child after many years of bareness. Unlike Priscilla, she was not barren but rather her hunger for God received satisfaction. She took advantage of her friendly interaction with the Apostle Paul. In a similar note, people of all status should take advantage to respect the true ministers of the gospel in the Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) regardless of their familiarity with them. People should take advantage of the truth that comes out of these true ministers of the gospel in order to be blessed. It will be likewise foolish of one to be married to a true minister of God and then miss the opportunity to enter heaven. Priscilla remains a good example when she allowed herself to be mentored by the Apostle Paul. This happened when Paul was residing at her house in Corinth and took advantage of that opportunity together with Aquila.
Thought for the day: Respect the true ministers of the gospel in the Horemow
Song for the day: When He calls me, I will answer
Bible reading for the day:
Isaiah 29-30; Ephesians 6

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...
