TOPIC: THE INFLUENCE OF GOOD PARENTING IN MOULDING GODLY CHARACTER         
Text: 2 Timothy 1:3-5
Key verse: Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

From today’s reading text, we could see the genetic trait of righteousness running through the family of Timothy. Lois, his grandmother was a believer. Louis gave birth to Eunice and Eunice also became a believer. Eunice gave birth to Timothy and gave much attention to training him in the way of the Lord and he too became a strong believer. My advice to parents is that in bringing up your children, give them sufficient attention to train them in the scriptures. Eunice trained Timothy and Paul testified that the faith of Timothy was an unfeigned faith. It was an unpretentious faith. He was not just claiming Christianity; he was truly one.

Timothy was genuinely born again, a true and sound believer whose heart had been purified and sanctified by God. Timothy was a true Christian. Paul who had lived with Timothy for many years saw that this boy was not an offence. This boy had no fault. This young man was a Christian indeed. You must not be a hypocrite. Be a serious person. Take this matter serious and do not joke with it. Make the Bible your daily companion and study it very well. Make it a regular habit to read through the whole Bible from the books of Genesis to Revelation. Commit yourself to it and be acquainted with the scriptures as a disciple. Your life will change completely. For you will know the truth and the truth shall make you free. 

Take it as Timothy took it with all sincerity. He had nothing to do with occultism, or fornication, or drugs, or fighting, or lying, or cheating or any kind of evil. Take this Christianity sincerely without pretence. That was what Timothy was – an evidence to good parental training. In fact, the Bible says he was a disciple; which means apart from the assistance received from his parents, Timothy knew Jesus personally and was committed to Him. He embarked on personal spiritual development through reading of the scriptures. Timothy’s life is an evidence of original Christianity and worthy of emulation by heaven-seekers.

Thought for the day: Be a sound believer whose heart is purified and sanctified by God
Song for the day: Following Jesus every day by day
Bible reading for the day:
2 Samuel 1-3; Luke 18:1-17

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...

January Saturday 18th TOPIC: HOW TO ATTAIN BIBLE HOLINESS TEXT: Romans 6:20-23 KEY VERSE: Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Besides the essential knowledge of the holy life of a Christian, it is good to understand the manner and process of becoming holy before God. Holiness of life is a life that has overcome sin through the saving power of Jesus Christ. Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. It is a life that does not commit sin. 1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Getting this experience requires four things: 1. Know that apart from holiness, there is no alternative lifestyle for heaven. Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holin...
