FOCUS ON JESUS, NOT MIRACLE SUBSTANCES

 For taking your time to study remain blessed. 

TOPIC: FOCUS ON JESUS, NOT MIRACLE SUBSTANCES September Tuesday 15th

TEXT: Isaiah 30:1-3

KEY VERSE: Isaiah 31:1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD! 


The physical can destroy the spiritual if we become careless. The hunger for miracle has made many people to seek after physical objects of miracle to the destruction of their soul.  Consider aprons and handkerchiefs taken from Paul’s body for miracle, which are now being replicated in many churches. Were these objects also taken from Peter’s body or John’s? It was only Paul in Christian history, not even from Jesus during His earthly ministry. Only in Paul did the Holy Ghost manifest that power for a definite purpose of His, to cause the people to believe in Christ. Handkerchiefs and aprons were taken from the body of Paul to the sick and they were healed. This happened for a season and ended. It could be just one day or one week or it heightened and then ceased. It did not continue in his ministry. Timothy worked closely with Paul as a disciple, but was he healing with handkerchiefs, or was he distributing aprons?  No, because he would not assume such a unique miracle to be an everyday occurrence.


If this be so, how did it happen that the churches today and the presiding ministers are flaunting handkerchiefs and aprons and telling their members that they will do miracles? From where did they get that teaching? From one witness, thou shall not establish a matter but from the mouth of two or three. Apart from Paul, who else used handkerchiefs and aprons that you are now using it as a standard in the church? Why don’t they also gather their members at the sea and say they are going to cause God to divide it so that people can cross on dry ground? If it is a normal thing, why don’t they try to also do that? Of course they won’t do that because their deceit will be found out too quickly. The spirit that motivates this kind of thing is of the devil. It is not the Spirit of Christ because that is an abnormality. He that enters not through the door but climbs in through the window, the same is a thief and a robber. The sheep will never hear him. He is a hireling and that is the devil. Those promoting and distributing handkerchiefs and aprons are not doing it by the Spirit of the great God of heaven because they don’t have the Bible as their authority. 


Thought for the day: The name of Jesus is enough for you. 

Song for the day: There is power mighty in the blood……

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 28-29; 2 Corinthians 7

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...
