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

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 Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
