The Peril of Ignorance

 For taking your time to study remain blessed. 

Topic: The Peril of Ignorance.  October Wednesday 21st 

Text: Genesis 20:1-18

Key verse: Proverbs 19:2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth. 


An ignorant man is like a man moving forward with his eyes closed. Do you know that being ignorant of the law does not exempt you from punishment when you break it? The saying, “Ignorance is no excuse of the law” is clearly seen in the story of king Abimelech, who despite his claim of innocence and pureness of heart, was still subject to the judgment of God. King Abimelech took Abraham's wife and when confronted by God, he pleaded innocence due to his ignorance of the truth of the matter. But God’s verdict was that he had committed sin by taking another man's wife and was guilty of death according to God's word. The king argued his case with God, thinking he would be justified. Many people also do so today thinking God will understand their situation. He told God that he acted in the integrity of his heart and in his innocence. His wrong action was due to misinformation and deceit of his informants, but that did not exonerate him from God's judgment— the king was doomed to die. 


Sins committed unknowingly are the commandment of God broken in ignorance.

God saw the sincerity of Abimelech and decided to save him by demonstrating His mercies through some strange happenings, such as shutting up the womb of every woman in the king's household. He even prevented the king from touching Sarah. This could have manifested as some kind of ailment or disease. All these were done to get the king's attention, but he did not understand the message until God appeared to him in a dream. You might have been made to suffer some hardship as a way of calling your attention to the wrong you have done. God may be using one sign or the other to draw your attention to repentance so that through repentance you can be delivered from the hands of Satan. These signs are the works of His mercy in your life. Like Abimelech, correct your ways and return that which you stole or took illegally. Seek and make peace with those you have defrauded. God will bless you as you do this.


Thought for the day: Only the truth can set you free.

Song for the day: Open my eyes O Lord, Alleluia...

Bible reading for the day: 

Jeremiah 5-6; 1 Timothy I

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...
