TOPIC: PRISCILLA’S STEADFASTNESS TO THE GOSPEL WORK
Friday November 15th
TEXT: 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-19
KEY VERSE: 2 Timothy 4: 19 “Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.”
Priscilla and Aquila continued to work with Paul, until the last day of his ministry work. Paul knew that his service in the gospel work was coming to an end and prepared to meet Jesus Christ in heaven. The scripture references above equally show Priscilla’s steadfastness with her husband in support of the gospel work with Paul, the Apostle to the end. Women in HOREMOW should stand steadfastly in the gospel work with their husbands to the end. In other words, women should be inspirers of their husbands in the gospel work as did Priscilla. God has called the women of HOREMOW to remain steadfast with their husbands in the ministry work. There should be no iota of backsliding in God’s calling. God has put leadership in your hands to support your husband in the ministry.
A story was told of a faithful woman whose husband’s arrest for the preaching of the gospel in a communist country didn’t prevent her from supporting him to the end. The husband was taken to prison and judgment passed on him to deny Jesus or faced a death sentence. As this was going on, the woman requested to see her husband in prison. The woman stood as an inspirer for her husband not to deny Jesus for the sake of upholding their wife-husband relationship. She inspired her husband not to deny Jesus in the prison, but to resist the devil to the end. As the Lord could have it happened, the woman was allowed to see her husband in the prison by the government. She was allowed to visit the prison with the view to persuade her husband to deny Jesus.
On entering the prison, she met with her husband and told him not to deny Jesus irrespective of the awaiting death penalty that was hanging against him if refused to do so. Consequently, the government ordered their execution and were eventually burnt to death. They lost their earthly lives for refusing to deny Jesus but inherited everlasting lives in Christ Jesus. All persuasions failed to convince them to deny Jesus. I pray for such a spirit of persistence to come upon you to stand for Jesus no matter what it takes in obedience to God’s word. In a similar vein, Priscilla and Aquila refused to deny Jesus. They were true disciples of Paul for over three years living in the same house.
Thought for the day: There should be no iota of backsliding in God’s calling.
Song for the day: Isaiah heard the voice of the Lord, and he said here am I send me......
Bible reading for the day:
Ezekiel 10-12; Hebrews 11:1-19

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...
