TOPIC: THE FIRST RESURRECTION                                                
May  Saturday 30th
Text: Daniel 12:1-5 
Key verse: Revelation 20: 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
The first resurrection is termed the resurrection to life eternal while the second resurrection is termed the resurrection to eternal damnation. The first resurrection is in five stages: (i) The resurrection of Christ the first fruit of the resurrection ii) The resurrection of the Church age saints (iii) The resurrection of the two witnesses (iv) The resurrection of the tribulation saints (v) The resurrection of the Old Testament saints. The first resurrection is made up of five different phases, but the second resurrection is just one resurrection.
The first stage of the first resurrection began with the resurrection of Christ. It shall be followed by the resurrection of the church age saints who believed in Christ and died as righteous people. Therefore, the resurrection of the believers in Christ at the Rapture is the second stage of the first resurrection. The third stage of the first resurrection is the resurrection of the two witnesses at the end of the great tribulation. The two witnesses will resurrect, and a voice from heaven will say, “Come up hither” (Revelation 11:12). Then they will ascend into heaven in a wonderful and glorious manner while their enemies behold.
The fourth stage of the first resurrection is the resurrection of the Tribulation saints. At the end of the tribulation, these tribulation saints shall resurrect and meet with Jesus in heaven and shall return with Him at His second coming physically to the earth. The fifth stage of the first resurrection concerns the Old Testament saints, who died before Jesus was born into the world. Their souls are in heaven. They shall resurrect and come back with Jesus to the earth, because God would have concluded His program of the 70th week, which is the seven years of the Great Tribulation. With the resurrection of the Old Testament saints, Jesus will continue His program with Israel to rule as the son of David over the kingdom of David.
Thought for the day: God’s end time plans are definite, clear and systematic.
Song for the day: Jesus shall reign for ever more, He shall reign for ever more
Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 28-29; John 11:47-57

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
