TOPIC: THE CONCEPT OF RESURRECTION IN SCRIPTURE         
Text: John 5:25 – 29
Key verse: John 5: 25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God: and they that hear shall live.

Here, Jesus Christ was talking about resurrection and He said that all that are in the grave shall arise. The time is coming that all that are in the grave shall arise; and He puts the resurrection in two phases. He said “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth first, after that – they that have done evil shall arise unto the resurrection of domination.’’ Now you can see that the First Resurrection is the resurrection of those that have done good. “Good” here is not referring to people that have done “good works” through self-righteousness.  Rather, it is referring to those who are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ; who are clothed with the righteousness of God in Christ and preserve themselves in holiness. It is this category of people that shall rise first in the resurrection unto life eternal.

As for sinners, the good they are doing is like filthy rags before God because it has no recognition or reward in eternity.  Heaven recognizes those that have done good as only they that are in Christ, who are washed by the blood of Christ and are led by the Holy Ghost to do the will of God. As many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God. But sinners are the hypocrites who shall resurrect in the Second Resurrection which is the resurrection unto damnation.

When God created man, he breathed into his nostrils and man became a living soul. When one is in a right relationship with God, he is to live forever. Yes, when God made the first man, he had the righteousness of God in him therefore he was to live forever. But when sin came into him he lost that privilege. Death came by sin and entered the whole world. However, Jesus came to restore the life of eternity with God. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life”. Have you given your life to Christ and living holy or you are labouring in sin and unrighteousness, which results in second resurrection and eternal damnation in lake of fire?

Thought for the day: Eternal life has come back to man through Jesus Christ.
Song for the day: Eternal life, eternal life, I want to live eternal life….
Bible reading for the day:
Judges 12-14; Luke 9:37-62

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...
  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
