TOPIC: EMULATE MARY’S HUMBLE DISPOSITION May Tuesday 12th
Text: Luke 1:39-45
Key verse: Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
Mary believed in God’s promises with humility and without any doubt. Never raise up your shoulder in pride when you ascend to any leadership position. Be humble and do not be proud to others or those under your leadership. Stop exercising your leadership in boast. For instance, it is unholy to speak boastfully like, “Do you not know that I am the Coordinator or Pastor’s wife?” May the same godly quality of humility in Mary come upon you regardless of your status or leadership position in the Church in Jesus’ Name. May the brokenness of Mary possess your life as a child or daughter of God in Jesus’ Name. The gift and calling of God should not make you to become proud and bossy. You need humility because Jesus admonished His disciples in Matthew 20:27, “And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.” Paul also wrote in Philippians 2:5-7 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. Jesus took upon Himself the role of a servant. That is the humble godly quality of Mary.
The LORD lifts up those that humble themselves before Him. If you are conscious of the pride of this sinful world you will never reach the place God is taking you to. Mary’s humble godly quality did not let her abuse those under her leadership. She was broken in spirit. In other words, she was very humble in character as God expects us to be. A typical example was that Mary and Joseph came to Bethlehem where no hotels were found. She submitted herself in humility to Joseph and gave birth to Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the sinful world in the habitation of animals. She wrapped her Son in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger. She gave birth in a humble place. But today people are too proud to be used by God. They are looking for honour. Let this not be your Christian lifestyle for it is unprofitable.
Thought for the day: Emulate Mary who believed in God’s promises with humility and without any doubt.
Song for the day: There is no one, there is no one like Jesus
Bible reading for the day: 2 Kings 4-5; John 4:1-30

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 ...
