TOPIC:  PREACHING AND TEACHING SHOULD SUPERCEDE SINGING  Friday       November 8th
TEXT: Psalm 138: 4-5
KEY VERSE: Psalm119: 7 “I will praise Thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned Thy righteous judgments.”
More time should be spent in preaching and teaching God's word than in singing songs of praise and worship in the worship assembly. Many Christians today devote much time to audio and video music and little or no time to recorded messages. Those who do so are weak in the faith or are not Christians at all in the real sense. Every believer and Christian church must devote more time to preaching and teaching of God's word than to singing.
The psalmists exalt the place of preaching and teaching of God's word above singing songs of praise and worship. The reasons are obvious
(I) The sinner cannot praise and worship God acceptably, except he is born again and is living the righteous life. Hence in a congregation where sinners come to know the Lord, more time should be spent in the ministry of the word than in songs.
(II) The ministry of the word sanctifies or purifies the heart of the believers, so they can praise God more perfectly. More time should be given to the preaching and teaching of God's word to make the believers clean and holy, John 15:3.
(III) The ministry of the word opens the believers' hearts to the deep things of God and fills them with wonder and amazement at His existence, wisdom, power and works. This gives them inward motivation to praise and worship God, Psalm 119:18.
(IV) The ministry of the word gives understanding and enables the worshippers to praise and worship God with understanding, Psalm 119:7.
(V) The presence of His word in our heart and the knowledge of Himself and of His works supply the information for the believer's sweet meditation, which gladdens the heart and overflows to His praise and worship.
(VI)The ministry of the word makes the worshippers know what to do and what not to do to offer acceptable praise and worship to the Lord.
(VII) The believer's entry into heaven is not dependent on much singing while on earth, but on full obedience to the word of God.
Thought for the day: More time should be spent in preaching and teaching God's word than in singing songs
Song for the day: Something more than gold, something more than silver, the word of God..
Bible reading for the day:
Jeremiah 49-50;Hebrews 5

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. 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...
