THEY HAVE IMPRESSIVE CATHEDRAL BUT MISERABLE WORSHIPPERS

For taking your time to study remain blessed. 
TOPIC: THEY HAVE IMPRESSIVE CATHEDRAL BUT MISERABLE WORSHIPPERS July Saturday 18th
TEXT: Deuteronomy 8:12-14
KEY VERSE: Jeremiah 2:31 O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee? 

They boast of impressive mega cathedral of high sitting capacity, but the worshippers are spiritually poor and miserable. They point to the properties they have and the physical developments and say “we are rich,” but spiritually, they are poor and miserable. The hearts of the people have been wounded and they are angry. They are bitter, they are poor, and they are unhappy because they are being deceived. Outwardly, they may not know this, but in their spiritual state the Lord says, “Knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.” Can you see? How do you come to a church, a great church, beautiful, with great crowds, everything looking physically impressive; all the glory, lights shining everywhere and say, “Oh, miserable; these people are wretched!” That is what the Lord is saying. You are wretched, miserable and poor; you are blind and naked. These physical things cannot give righteousness to the people. 

That is why in Holiness Revival Movement we don’t compel people to give money. It is because we don’t want you to become miserable and we too don’t want to become miserable because of you. All these levying members for this project and that project, we avoid it here as much as possible. We have Jesus, the Owner of this Movement who will give us the money. I am happy when I see people worshipping in freedom in this Movement without the burden of money. When we announce that you should indicate whatever you are willing to support the work in the whole year, it is not an unceasing obligation on you. If that year passes, that is the end of it. Your pledge is, “If I have, I will give.” If you don’t have, God knows your sincerity. 2 Corinthians 8:12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. If on the other hand you have but don’t want to give, God knows your insincerity. He knows your life so we don’t want to put any burden on you. We don’t want your righteousness to vanish because we want physical things in this world. 

Thought for the day: Give to God willingly, not forcefully. 
Song for the day: Lord I give you my heart, I give you my soul, I live for you alone……
Bible reading for the day: 
Psalm 25-27; Acts 20:17-38

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...
