TOPIC: SERVE IN HUMILITY AND SUBMISSION TO AUTHORITY
TEXT: Romans 12:9-11
KEY VERSE: James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 

While it is not good to be comparing yourself with others or to try to live like other people, it will be wrong to think that you can excel in life without learning from others. It is pride to look down on the achievements of others or to see yourself better or more original than everyone else. Whoever operates like that will fail. That is why you will not want to follow even your leaders. By that, you lose the power of example because your leader is doing what he is doing by inspiration. You say, “No, I can’t follow that pattern; I want to be different.” When God has given instruction on how to do it, you are saying you want to be different.  You will suffer for it! You will lose the presence of God because you are stubborn. Pride is your problem. You don’t want to join the parade? How can you be part of the soldiers because all soldiers will have to fall in line when on parade? If the workmen did not follow the pattern God showed Moses, how could they have done all the constructions to God’s satisfaction?

You are always saying to yourself, “I know! I know!! I know!!!” You want to have your own version of everything. Will you not be kicked out of that place soon? Join the line, follow the people, have all men say the same thing, teach the same thing, and stop this I know, I know business. It is such attitude that causes division in the Church. Why must you always be different? What is different or special about you? Why are you full of peculiarity? Why can’t you learn humility from Christ Jesus? See what scripture testifies of Him. Philippians 2:2-8 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3  Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4  Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7  But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8  And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 

Thought for the day: Serve in humility and with a gentle spirit for this is pleasing to the Lord.
Song for the day: Be like Jesus every day in your life, be like Jesus every………
Bible reading for the day: Genesis 23-24; Matthew 8

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...
