TOPIC: CONSIDER IT A GREAT PRIVILEGE TO SUFFER FOR JESUS
TEXT: Luke 9:23-25
KEY VERSE: Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 

Jesus suffered in the hands of wicked men and endured it. Why then are you running away from persecution? Is your body more precious than the body of Jesus that you don’t want anybody to touch it? They struck the body of Jesus. Why are you refusing to be struck? They spat upon the face of Jesus. What an insult? Why are you refusing to be slapped or even to be spit on? They picked up stones to throw at Jesus. What have they thrown at you? Jesus has already set an example for us that we should follow in His stead, so why are you now showing bigmanism? You are afraid your skin will be damaged or your bone broken? How do you see the body of Jesus, who made your body and made one for Himself? How do you see the personality of Jesus – a body without sickness, without blemish? How do you think His body looked like and why do you think your body is more precious than His? Would you compare your body with the physical body of Jesus on earth? But when He was being stricken and beaten for your sake, to save you from your sin and give you eternal life, did He mind? Did He complain? Did He withdraw? How did He handle the matter? Learn from the life of Jesus and be wise. Below is a prophetic utterance on His suffering and reaction to it for your edification.

Isaiah 53:3-5, 7-8 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. 4 Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5  But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. 7 He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare His generation? for He was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of My people was He stricken. 

Thought for the day: Persecution is part of the Christian life.
Song for the day: Lord I want to be like Jesus in my life…
Bible reading for the day: Exodus 9-10; Matthew 18:1-20

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...
