TOPIC: GIVE PRIORITY ATTENTON TO WORD MINISTRATION
Text: 1 Timothy 4: 6-16
Key verse: 1 Timothy 4:13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine

Timothy spent time reading the scriptures. He followed apostolic exhortation to study the word when he came under Paul. Everything about Paul was the word - the knowledge of the word, the
revelation of the word, the power of the word and the interpretation of the word. He gave himself completely to the word. So when Timothy joined him he told him that he too must give prime attention to the word. That is why I do not spare anybody when we come to conference and that includes my wife. You must be in the hall of meeting to hear the word. You cannot sit idle while the message is going on. You cannot give yourself to any other thing but to listen to the word of God.

The word is precious. Do not see yourself as a big minister with great anointing, so you don’t need the word. You must understand that there is a difference between anointing and holiness. No matter your degree of anointing, if your life is empty of the word, you become a play toy in the hands of the devil to your shame and embarrassment. You will fall flat and become sorry for yourself. As anointed as Samson was, the word was not in him. That was why he became an easy prey for Satan and was always going into immorality. Absence of the word makes you a featherweight and turns you into a spiritual carcass.

All these Christianity of immorality, Christianity of examination malpractices, Christianity of witchcraft, Christianity of drunkenness and worldly dancing that is prevalent in the church today is largely because the youths are not trained in the scriptures. When you are not raised up by the scriptures, it will be impossible to live up to the standard of God. But for the youths that have been introduced to the scriptures and taught everything from the scriptures, they are built on the rock. As you go about, it will be hard for you to fall into immorality or any temptation because the devil no longer has power over you.

Thought for the day: The word of God is precious
Song for the day: Your word have I hid in my heart, that I may not sin against You…
Bible reading for the day: 1 Kings 10-11; Luke 24:1-35

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.

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 ...
