SUBMIT TO AUTHORITY

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.

TOPIC: SUBMIT TO AUTHORITY September Friday 4th

TEXT: 1 Peter 5:5-6

KEY VERSE: Ephesians 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Submission is a virtue, not a weakness. Don't be proud. Don't look down on anybody. Don't behave like Aaron and Mariam who contended against the leadership of Moses. Don’t be like Korah, Dathan, Abiram and On who contended against the leadership of Moses and Aaron. The Bible says in Hebrews 13:17, “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that isunprofitable for you.” God chose to place leaders above you before you were created. Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. When you contend against leaders that God has placed over you, you are contending against God and you will not be guiltless. Consider how the ground swallowed up Korah and his co-travellers in the voyage of rebellion. Consider how Miriam became leprous for challenging the authority of Moses.

1Thessalonians 5:12-13 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. Don't bring judgment upon your life. Don't frustrate your Christian life. Let your leaders rejoice over you. Let them derive joy and comfort from their labour over your life. Submit to whoever God has placed above you whatever you may be. Soldiers salute those in higher rank. A father brought his son into the army but the son rose above him because he was more educated. When he met his son, he saluted him but the son protested. The father said, “No son, that is how it is done here. Forget the fact that I am your father. It is the rule and I'm used to it.” Shimei was punished for insulting David, the anointed of God. Submit your reports to higher authority for that is part of submission. Are you doing your assignments? That's part of submission. Do so in the fear of God for angels keep record over your life. That is why the books were opened.

Thought for the day: Submit to your leaders.

Song for the day: ….Give me grace, grace oh Lord…..give me grace to live a perfect life

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 5-6; 1 Corinthians 14:1-20

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...
