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

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...
