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

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...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
