TOPIC: YOUR GODLY LIFE WILL LEAD MANY TO RIGHTEOUSNESS
TEXT: Matthew 5:14-16
KEY VERSE: 1Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

You may just have begun your Christian life or you are practically a young man in the midst of much older people. What God wants you to know is that you can still be an example to other believers in spite of your youthfulness.  Age is not a hindrance to godly living. As a youth, you can avoid talking carelessly or creating rancour in the environment. People will notice your maturity and want to emulate you. This reminds me of a story. There was a woman that always cut off this protruded part of the chicken and throws it away. One day, a lady who had been observing this asked to know why. By her own judgment, that part being cut off was a good part and very delicious to eat. The woman laughed and said, “That is how I saw my mother do it.” The lady asked, “You didn’t ask your mother why she did it?” Her response was, “I saw her doing it and I too cut it off whenever I am cooking chicken.” Then one day, the lady approached the woman’s mother and asked, “Mama, your daughter said she learnt something from you. She said that you always cut off this part of the chicken before cooking. What is your reason?” The grandma laughed and replied, “That was how I saw my mother doing it.” From this story, you can see how people observe the things you do and emulate you. If there was opportunity to get at her grandmother, the story would have been the same.

Let people see you doing something they will follow. Good things, righteous character, cultured speech, good mannerism will be spreading and people will be blessed along. “Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” The way you live your life will influence others and promote righteousness in charity, Christian love, friendliness and gentleness. People will learn and take it to others. Let people learn from you in fervency of life, in your approach to God, in your devotional life. Be an example to them in unwavering faith in times of adversity. Through you they will believe God. They will stop worrying over little, little things.  Teach your children how to believe in God. Teach the church, teach the family, practice it. May the Lord make you a shining example in this dark world. Amen!

Thought for the day: Be a shining example to others.
Song for the day: Let others see Jesus in you, let others see Jesus in you……
Bible reading for the day: Exodus 34-36; Matthew 23:1-22

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. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
