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

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. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
