For taking your time to study remain blessed. 
TOPIC: TESTIMONY – MY WIFE’S CHANGED LIFE BROUGHT ME TO HOLINESS MOVEMENT – Part 2 July Monday 27th
TEXT: Ephesians 4:22-24
KEY VERSE: 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 

(Continued from yesterday)

I boarded a commercial vehicle to Gwagwalada town motor park and after alighting, I had to wait for another one that would take me to Kwali where the campground is located. As I waited, I saw a cigarette seller and was tempted to smoke. As I made to go and buy, my mind told me if you smoke you will be smelling cigarettes. Another voice said if you drink soda water nobody will know, so I looked for soda water but could not get one. Meanwhile, I was still waiting for a commercial vehicle to Kwali, so I walked a bit forward and asked for soda water. As I was about paying for it, I heard a shout of “Kwali, Kwali,” which signaled the arrival of a Kwali-bound vehicle. I abandoned the soda water and ran to the vehicle. I got to camp before the programme started in the evening and I started feeling like smoking. I said in my mind, let me go round to see if this place they call holy ground will sell cigarettes or not. I looked everywhere but no cigarettes. I said to myself, “How will I stay without smoking?” Then I resolved within myself, “If I don’t smoke in this place today, I will never smoke in my life again.” 

The programme finished that night and I went to sleep. The next morning, I went to take my bath but people were many and there were not enough buckets to fetch water, so I decided to go outside the camp. I found a place where you pay money to bath and noticed some cigarette sellers and smokers in the vicinity. I took my bath and came out but to my greatest surprise, I was irritated by the smell of cigarette smoke coming out from there. I returned to the camp as Pastor Rika finished his message and I joined others for the altar call.  There and then, I covenanted with God that I will never smoke again in my life. After returning back home from conference, anytime the urge to smoke came I would remind myself of the promise I made to God.  My friends were surprised by my change. I want to thank God for delivering me from the spirit of smoking which I thought I could never overcome. Jesus did it for me and since then, I have not gone back to it. Praise God for His mercy!

Thought for the day: With God all things are possible. 
Song for the day: He has done for me, he has done for me
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 50-52; Acts 27:1-25

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. 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...
