TOPIC: THE POWER OF AN EXEMPLARY LIFE
TEXT: Matthew 5:13-16
KEY VERSE: Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
The Lord is calling you to an exemplary life that will serve as an example to others. It is the life of light. You are a light to the world. You are a city built on a hill that cannot be hidden. You are a lamp that is put on top of the table that men may see in the darkness, that men may be helped; that men may see the light of Jesus in you and emulate your life as an example. There was somebody from one of the states in northern Nigeria that lived this exemplary life and it could not be hidden from casual observers. A Muslim was speaking to a fellow in the university classroom when this person was passing by. As the Muslim brother saw him he said, “If that man will come and preach Jesus to me I will believe.” He said this because he had seen his life, his exemplary lifestyle. That is the power in an exemplary life.
Again a children’s teacher was teaching in the classroom and he started giving a description of who Jesus was in character, in life style, in behavior, and how loving Jesus is. As he was describing Jesus, a child raised up his hand to ask a question. The teacher asked, “Son, what do you have to say?” This child’s reply was, “I have seen that Jesus before. I know him. He is my neighbor.” What the child was actually saying was that there was a man living in his neighbourhood whose lifestyle perfectly fitted the description of the teacher. So, he took him to be the Jesus his teacher was trying to describe. That is the power of an exemplary life. In another instance, evangelists went out for a crusade and showed a Christian film for the people to watch. A Muslim woman was there and as she watched the film on the gospel of Jesus she said, “Actually, I believe in this. I would have submitted my life to Jesus but I fear for my two daughters. If I become a Christian, definitely they would come with me but I am afraid they would be contaminated by the naked dressing of Christian women I am seeing these days. I cannot join this Christianity and see my daughters exposing their nakedness.” That is a contrary Christian life with the negative power of a sinful lifestyle. Brother, sister, is your life drawing people to Jesus or driving them away?
Thought for the day: Your lifestyle is what reveals your true identity.
Song for the day: When Jesus comes to reward His servants
Bible reading for the day: 1 Kings 12-13; Luke 24:36-53

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
