IF YOU DON’T SETTLE THE PAST IT MAY HUNT YOUR FUTURE

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.

Topic: IF YOU DON’T SETTLE THE PAST IT MAY HUNT YOUR FUTURE October Friday 16th

Text: Acts 23:1-4

Key verse: Acts 23:1 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.

It is very important to do restitution. If a wrong foundation was laid in the past and it is being built upon now, there is need to uproot it so that error will not continue in your life. Suppose somebody came to you and complained of persistent stomach problem but because you were a wicked man, you advised him to mix sand with charcoal in water to drink and the man believed you. What would be the result when the man started drinking it? He would have suffered all kinds of unimaginable sicknesses for which you were responsible. Now that you are born again, you have to go back to him and say, “I was a wicked man when I did that. I was even angry that you asked me for help, so I just felt like adding to your trouble. That was why I recommended that evil concoction for you to drink. Please forgive me.”

To him that knows the good he ought to do and does not do it, it is a sin. You have come out of sin, why are you resisting restitution that would cleanse your evil past? Therefore, go back to that man you misled. What if you go back and the man says since I have been drinking this mixture of sand and charcoal my stomach is tensed up and the hospital says I need to undergo surgery? My brother you will have to help him with the money for the surgery because you were responsible for his medical condition. God wants justice. He is a God of truth. Now that you are a partaker of His divine nature, deal in truth. Do justice and show genuine love. Love and care for people. Rectify your evil ways. Settle the past; otherwise, it will hunt your future. Do it so that you do not have a bad name because such a bad name will give God a bad name too. Settle the past for that is the will of God. It is the Holy Ghost that is always convicting you to go and make peace. Now that you have built upon the wrong foundation and all these work you are doing with the government was with a falsified credential, will you keep building on a wrong foundation? Go and confess your past sins and be free of fault.

Thought for the day: Pull down that wrong foundation else you will suffer damage in future.

Song for the day: Peace, Purity, Power, All mine in the Lord....

Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 59-61; 1 Thessalonians 4 #Horemow

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, ...
