TOPIC: IT IS IN THE CHARACTER OF GOD TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO PEOPLE

Text: Acts 10:11-15, 34-35

Key verse: 2 Samuel 22:7  In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears. 


After the fall of man, God could have isolated mankind and damned him to the consequences of his sin but in His eternal love for man, He has continued to reveal Himself to people in various ways and for various reasons:


  1. To save them in times of great need. We see His great deliverance manifested when Noah was saved from the flood, when Abram was called from idolatry to worship God and when Moses was called to save the Israelites from the land of bondage in Egypt.

  2. To bring salvation. Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call His Name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins. 

  3. To destroy the works of Satan. 1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 

  4. To warn of future catastrophic events. Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets. 


God reveals Himself in diverse ways:


  1. By Miracles. God revealed Himself through great and uncommon miracles in Scripture such as the burning bush, parting of the Red Sea, diverse miracles through Elijah and Elisha etc.

  2. By Judgments. We see this in the lives of Pharaoh, Herod, Ananias, Sapphirah, etc.

  3. By Dreams and Visions. Some dreams and visions bring revelation of God and His plans. Some need to be interpreted by God such as Joseph’s dream or Peter’s vision.


Thought for the day: The secret things belong to the Lord

Song for the day: Lord teach me Your way (2x), I want to know Your way…

Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 1-3; John 12:1-19

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...
