GOD KNOWS WHAT TO ALLOW YOUR WAY, SO DON’T Panic.

 For taking your time to study remain blessed. 

TOPIC: GOD KNOWS WHAT TO ALLOW YOUR WAY, SO DON’T Panic.  August Wednesday 19th

TEXT: Matthew 16:21-23

KEY VERSE: Matthew 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. 


In today’s reading text, Jesus called Peter, “Satan” and said, “You are an offence to me.” Jesus was practically telling Peter, “God has given Me grace to pass through what is ahead of Me and I understand it. He has assured Me in this suffering I am going through. He has satisfied My mind and given Me His peace. Why are you opposing it Peter?” If someone counsels me to go and report a man to the police and to take him to court and I am say “No, the Lord has not told me to do so but He has given me peace.” If he insists, “Do it!” I will tell him that he has become an offence to me. 


You are blocking my righteousness. You are blocking the peace of my life. You want to frustrate my godliness. God has given me the grace to overcome. Since this thing happened to me and not to you, why then are you frustrating me? Why are you blocking my maturity in Christ? “Peter, you are Satan. This thing you are doing to show as if you love Me is Satan’s business. He wants Me to be afraid and begin to look for sympathy on what I know clearly is the will and plan of God for My life. This is what I know clearly has a future glory.” (Paraphrased) 


Therefore, let us not behave like the people that surrounded Paul. When Paul said, “I am going to Jerusalem. I don’t know what is waiting for me there, but I am receiving witness everywhere that bonds and afflictions await me.” Since prophet Agabus had prophesied danger ahead for him, the brethren gathered around Paul and tried to persuade him not to go to Jerusalem. Paul rebuked them, “What do you mean to weep and break my heart? I am not only ready to be bound in Jerusalem but to die for the cause of Christ.” Brother, don’t seek sympathy, the Lord knows the way you are taking. He knows what to allow your way. No temptation has taken you that is not common to man and God is faithful. Are you not aware that God cares? Why are you seeking sympathy as a childish Christian? 


Thought for the day: There is nothing you are passing through that is strange to God. 

Song for the day: The Lord said I should not fear, He said I should not worry…..

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 112-115; 1 Corinthians 1

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...

The Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
