TRUE LOVE IS STRANGE TO THE WORLD

For taking your time study remain blessed.  
TOPIC: TRUE LOVE IS STRANGE TO THE WORLD  July Friday 31st  
TEXT: 1 Peter 1:22-23
KEY VERSE: 1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
God’s kind of love is strange to this world and they are opposed to it. The world is harsh to it but you must carefully preserve and maintain it. You must fight to keep it. You must train your heart to it. In church, in the family and among ourselves, we are to have the God-kind of love. Many things come to block this kind of love because the enemy does not want it. You must reconcile with your brother if you want to promote this kind of love. You must clear whatever has blocked your relationship with anyone. Go to him or her and remove the blockage; otherwise, it will reduce your love to pretentious love. You must summon courage to discuss everything over. When a cloud covers the sun, the sun's brightness is deemed. So it is with the heart of man. You must clear every blockage because love should be without pretence. Refuse misinterpretation of issues. Don't make assumptions of things that are not clear or true. When they told the King of Israel that the Syrians flew, their king did not believe thinking it was a war strategy to capture them but he was wrong. Refuse reading between the lines. Refuse misinterpreting dreams.
Be careful with hearsay. When you hear, hold yourself and don't conclude in a hurry. Be quick to hear but slow to speak. Many things you read from internet are not true. Avoid gossipers. A talebearer separates close friends. Proverbs 26:20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. As long as the information is not verified, it has become a potential blockage to love. Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:21, Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. If Dathan and Abiram had made diligent enquiry, they would not have sunk into hell with Korah. If the mighty men and nobles of Israel had done the same thing, they would not have perished. Even the congregation could not learn from this sad experience. Based on hearsay, all the congregation of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron saying, “Ye have killed the people of the LORD.” They sided rebels against the anointed of God. They incurred the wrath of God and the plague killed 14,700. Be careful, let your love be in righteousness.
Thought for the day: Love in truth.
Song for the day: Jesus keep me near the cross, near the precious fountain…..
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 62-64; Romans 1

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...
