Topic: DO NOT IGNORE THE WEIGHTIER MATTERS OF THE LAW   December Tuesday 1st Text: Matthew 23:16-24 Key verse: Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.   Some pastors give special attention to tithe payment and give tithers special treatment but shy away from the weightier matters of the law that talk about judgment, righteousness and mercy. They specialize in preaching prosperity messages and make their congregations believe that gain is godliness. Some of them use satanic powers. When these preachers give interpretations to some verses in Scripture, you will be amazed how they arrived at those interpretations. They give meanings to scriptures to suit their purpose and bring doctrines that will confuse people sa...

Topic: ENCOUNTER WITH SOME DAMNED SOULS IN HELL             November Sunday 29th Text: Luke 16: 22-28 yin Key verse: Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. (From Sister Linda’s Testimony) Lansana Conte in Hell: I saw another president (former president of Guinea). Why Jesus showed me these presidents is because He gave me a message for Sierra Leone president. When I met my president in Sierra Leone, I could see that he loves God. He obeyed the message. I thank God for his life because men of God were saying all sorts of things, but the president obeyed the message of God. President Lansana Conte said, “Tell my people in Guinea, let them allow Jesus rule over Guinea. Let them turn to Jesus because Jesus is the only way...

And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. In today’s devotional text, Jesus told that woman caught in adultery, “Go and sin no more.” That pronouncement is a power just as He pronounced on Peter. Peter said, “If you are the One bid me come on the water.” He said, “Come!” That word went with power that made Peter walk on top of the water. When the Lord says “Go and sin no more,” power follows that statement. Jesus has the power to sustain you and give you victory over sin. If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature. His evil lifestyle is gone; old things are passed away; all things become new.  People that are still committing immorality and drinking alcohol are not yet born again. It does not matter whether you sing in the choir or you are made a leader. As long as you are still going to...

Topic: WHY A NEW CONVERT NEEDS TO DO HIS OR HER RESTITUTION  November Friday 27th Text: Judges 17:1-4 Key verse: Judges 17:2 And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my son.   Not many know or believe your present claim that you are now in Christ. Your further action in restitution will convince them. Go and confess to your husband all those lies you have been telling him. Actually, he might have discovered some of them even though he did not tell you; but has already lost confidence in you. For some women, your husband’s confidence in you is just 50% or 40% because he has discovered your secret sins. The person you did that thing with had informed him without your knowledge.  If you would now come forward to volun...

Topic: NECESSITY OF PARENTAL CONSENT IN MARRIAGE November Thursday 26th Text: Genesis 24: 60-67 Key verse: Song 2: 15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. After mutual consent to marry there is need for introduction to each other’s parents for parental consent. Where there is resistance, especially from the parents of the woman, both must take it to God in prayer and wait on Him to clear the obstacle. The bible says follow peace with all men and holiness. If your parents refuse, they may give any flimsy reason like, “We don’t marry people from that tribe.” It is a flimsy reason and they may be looking serious. The heart of a king is in the hand of God as rivers of water. He turns it wherever He wills.  The heart of your parents are in the hands of God, go to God in prayer. The Lord will work on their hearts. Don’t jump up and say, “No! You people are wasting my time.” It is n...

Topic: TITHE DEFAULTERS ARE UNDER DIVINE CURSE November Wednesday 25th Text: Hebrews 7:1-17 Key verse: Malachi 3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.  There are people who live under divine curse for not paying tithes to God because they allege that tithes payment applied only in the Old Testament and not the New Testament. Tithes payment has been the practice of true followers of God before the Law and it continued after the Law. Jesus made mention of it in His teaching.  Matthew 23:23: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.  Melchisedec is a type of Jesus. Like Melchisedec, Jesus is both King and Priest to us and lives forever. As our Priest, Jesus collects tithes from us today who a...

Topic: Eternal Reward for Holy and Faithful Preachers November Tuesday 24th Text: John 14:1-3  Key verse: Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. A touching story was told of a missionary from America who spent 40 years labouring in Africa. In the course of service, his wife died. He continued faithfully in ministry until he became very old and decided to return. He boarded a ship with an army general who had spent just two weeks’ vacation in Africa. On arrival he saw a crowd of people waiting and thought they came to welcome him for the service he dedicated all his life to do. The general disembarked from the ship first and all the people followed him. There was no one remaining to welcome the missionary when he followed after.  He was shocked and became confused. He did not even know where to go as he did not have any house of his...

TOPIC: DENOMINATIONAL AUTHORITIES ARE SHUTTING UP THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AGAINST MEN     November Monday 23rd Text: Matthew 23:1-5 Key verse: Mathew 23:13: But Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.   The spirit of denominationalism is injurious to the body of Christ. The denominational authorities work against the interest of Jesus in the Church. They are blind and carnal and yet they are the leaders. They have taken over the leadership of the church from Jesus Christ. They call their denominational church “my church.” They exercise absolute authority over the church. They stand at the door and refuse any one from taking any action against them. They make, promote and execute laws that block people of God from God.  The Lord has given the keys of the kingdom of hea...

TOPIC: THERE IS NO REPENTANCE IN THE GRAVE                           November Sunday 22nd Text: Isaiah 66:22-24 Key verse: Hebrews 9: 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. (From Sister Linda’s Testimony) “On my second visit to hell, Jesus was with me. This time around, the brightness of Jesus was very glorious. Jesus has light all over His body. When we entered that dark place called hell, I was seeing everything very clearly. I could see the people in hell very clearly because of the bright light from Jesus. Then, Jesus opened my eyes to recognize some men and women in hell. Jesus gave me message to Sierra Leone. He said if He had come between December 2012 to January 2013, only five people in Sierra Leone would have been raptured. When I gave this testimony in Sierra Leone, people did not believe me. Jesus said Sierra Leone is...

 For taking your time to study remain blessed. TOPIC: THE WEIGHT OF SIN November Saturday 21st Text: Psalm 51:1-12 Key verse: Isaiah 57:21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.  Sin has weight and convicting power that does not give rest to the sinner day and night. Sin has weight as if you are carrying a heavy load. You sit with it, you stand up with it, you move about with it. Even when you lie down, the load is still heavy on you. That little sin you committed comes with a heavy weight you carry about and it will not give you rest or peace day and night. There is no peace for the wicked. The sinner is laughing with his mouth, but his heart is burning. There is fear. It is like a particle enters your eye. Whatever you are saying or doing, your mind is on that disturbing particle in your eye. Just as the sea brings out dirty things that are in it and they keep flowing to and fro, and the water is mixed up with dirt, so it is with the life of a sinner. He is carrying...

Topic: Sanctification and Holy Spirit Baptism for Believers             November Friday 20th Text: John 17:17; Acts 1:4-5  Key verse: Psalm 51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.  It is common place for a believer growing in Christ to have inner struggle with envy, malice, anger, pride, stubbornness, lust and moral weakness, which often time defile him to his embarrassment and sorrow before God and man. This is so even though the believer is not seen committing sin outwardly as he shows forth clearly evidence of salvation from sin. The Spirit bears witness in his heart that he is a child of God, but he notices inner impurity that challenges his total freedom. These are called remnants of sin, ‘inbred sin’ or the ‘adamic nature’ in the believer. Something needs to be done to usher him into fullness of righteousness, holiness and love in Chri...

Topic: HOW TO KNOW GOD’S PERFECT WILL IN CHOOSING A LIFE PARTNER        November Thursday 19th Text: Job 33:14-16 Key verse: Job 33:14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.  Here are some tips on how to know God’s perfect will for a marriage partner:    a. Fervent Love for the Marriage Partner: Let there be a marital desire that provokes fervent love for that man or woman you want to marry.    b. Marital Compatibility: Whenever you think of him/her or see each other, you are fully assured inwardly that there is marital compatibility and less personality conflict.  c. Through Dreams and Revelations: You are having dreams, and not just one dream, but several dreams coming up again and again confirming you are meant for each other. d. Inner Assurance: You are assured within you as if the Lord is laying His hands there and saying, “Be at peace. Don’t be afraid. Be at ...

TOPIC: THE PERIL OF IGNORANCE AMONG CHRIST'S FOLLOWERS November Wednesday 18th Text: John 8:30-32 Key verse: Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.  In the secular world, scientists, politicians, educationists and other enlightened members of the society lament over the evil and death pangs ignorance casts upon men and women in their society. Sadly, the evils and death pangs ignorance of the true word of God is causing in the church and in the world is far greater. Through the teaching of sound doctrine, the effort is being made to cure men and women of this deadly plague and to usher the believer into the sunshine of biblical truth, righteousness and holiness. Only the truth saves from sin, Satan and hellfire, and only the truth give...

  For taking your time to study remain blessed. TOPIC: GOD PLACED HOLY LEADERS IN HIERARCHY OVER YOU FOR YOUR GOOD   November  Tuesday 17th Text: Exodus 18:25–26 Key verse: Exodus 18:21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: God gave to Moses the ability to understand hard issues, but not everybody. That is why you need to be very careful. If you have a leader over you, know that there are matters that will naturally be higher than you. Humbly take them up to him. Do not say, ‘Who is that leader? I know him. He was my classmate. We finished from the same school.’ If God has placed him above you, he has the greater grace. King Jehoshaphat asked the king of Israel, ‘Is there any man here that we may enquire of him?’” Well, we have Elisha the son of Shaphat who poured water on the ha...

TOPIC: EVERY BELIEVER NEEDS A SECOND TOUCH       November Monday 16th Text: Ezekiel 36:24-29 Key verse: Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. It is commonly known of believers that after salvation experience the heart still shows some filthiness under certain conditions and circumstances. You may not notice the filth immediately you are born again because of joy and happiness but with time, as you continue in your Christian life, you begin to have some tensions and feelings that you do not actually approve of. They are not obvious sins like fornication, drunkenness and others. These are sins that have to do with the heart. That is why God was practically saying, “My son, give Me your heart. I want to make it righteous. I want to do another operation on the heart that will mak...

T0PIC: NOBODY THAT IS DEFILED SHALL ENTER INTO HEAVEN November 15 Text: Revelation 22:14-15 Key verse: Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. (From Sister Linda’s Testimony) “The Lord Jesus said, ‘Go and tell them that nobody that is defiled will enter My kingdom. Many of them are changing their colour. They are putting on bleaching cream. Tell them anybody that is lying or carrying false property on his or her body will not see my face. By so doing, they are telling Me their Creator that I did not create them well. I know what is good for every man. Let them know that they will not enter into My kingdom. Tell every woman that is putting on trousers, I say woe unto them. Tell them to stop listening to those pastors. I told them before that antichrist pastors will come. So, tell ...

TOPIC: RUN FROM SIN TO PRESERVE YOUR SOUL November Saturday 14th Text: Genesis 4:6-13 Key verse: 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.  Whosoever is committing sin has gone beyond the safe limit in life. He has crossed the line. He has left the road and entered into the bush. He has had an accident of life. Sin is an action taken by a man which is in direct disobedience to the word or commandment of God, whether this commandment is known to him or not. Since ignorance is not an excuse of the law, the sinner knowing or not knowing of a sin committed is responsible despite his ignorance. Again, sin is any act of wickedness done against a human being to his hurt. Any evil you did in words or action against a human being, even going to an evil thought, is sin. Some purposely go to do evil against fellow human beings. They kill, maim, cause pain and whatever. They want to hurt others for their pleasure. Or maybe they...

Topic: DOWRY PAYMENT ALONE DOES NOT SOLEMNIZE MARRIAGE   November 13 Text: Proverbs 5:15-23 Key verse: Hebrews 13:4  Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.  Contrary to general belief, payment of dowry is not what constitute marriage between a man and a woman. Only after proper solemnisation are they considered husband and wife with the right to the marital bed. Understand that if you have decided to have a white wedding, then the Church expects that only after solemnization in the church that you become husband and wife with the right to your bodies. The Pastor asks, “Do you take Brother X to be your husband and that you will cleave to him and him alone?” The bride says, “Yes I do.” He turns to the man, “Do you accept Sister Y to be your lawfully wedded wife?” The groom says, “Yes I do.” Or is it that you have already become one fles...

Never adopt the manner of sinners in the world. They go for vain beauty and start with boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. They propose to more than one person at a time. They disappoint and abandon a relationship anyhow and go for another one. They demand for sex as a proof of love. These are the things they do in the world. Love works no ill to his neighbour. It is a fulfilment of the law. Why do you want to break the heart of somebody? Do you have clear proof that the leadership can judge along with you and justify you? Are there clear reasons why you want to disengage from that relationship? Why will you hold this lady here, and another lady there, and another lady there, and you ar...

Live by them. Do not join others who excuse themselves from these important truths, thinking their ignorance of these truths will justify them before God. Do not be fooled into thinking in your ignorance that the Lord will accept you with sin in your life or exempt you from judgment because of the work you are doing for Him. Examine carefully the Scriptures to ensure that you are fed with the entire truth of God's Word in the church or the Christian...

November Tuesday 10th Text: Matthew 26:19-24 Key verse: 1 Corinthians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. Many pastors are into ministry for earthly gain and are only interested in the gifts on the altar instead of striving to raise holy altars for the service of God. They are into ministry for money. The Lord calls them blind leaders,  “Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?”  They have their sets of doctrines. Their doctrine is all about money. They are prosperity preachers itching to siphon money from innocent members of their churches. The amazing thing is that their members who we expect to understand these things never get to understand that they are blind guides of the blind and that both of them will fall into the ditch. A particular minister was holding a crusade in Abuja. ...

TOPIC: THE CHURCH IS ONE BODY     November Monday  9th Text: Ephesians 4:3-7 Key verse: Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.   Jesus clearly declares His ownership of the church and His responsibility towards the building of His church. He emphasizes that since He is the builder of the church, the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. He raises men and makes use of them to co-build His church. He delivers the keys of the kingdom to men for them to build His church. Jesus gives the builders of His church the power to loose and bind. The church, the ministers and all the workers, apparently from this scripture are not denominational. “My church” here refers to the body of Christ and the ministers over His church are non-denominational and therefore not segregated. Jesus did not expect His chu...

(From Sister Linda’s Testimony) “Then Jesus said, ‘I am sending you back to the world. I will give you a message to the world.’ I became sad. I said, ‘Lord, I don’t want to go again. I don’t want to go.’ He looked at me and said, ‘I hate children who are selfish. You did not deserve to be here. Your place is hell. You did not do anything for Me. You were a prostitute.’ I said, ‘Lord, I was not a prostitute. I am not a prostitute!’ He laughed and said, ‘You see! Your ways and My ways are not the same.

TOPIC: CARE FOR YOUR LIFE November Saturday 7th Text: Acts 27:33–36 Key verse: Acts 27:34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. Some basic necessities are required for your health and wellness. Carelessness in taking care of one’s health could have grave consequences in future. For instance, some people may have accident today and fail to go for proper medical check up, only to begin to experience the effects much later in life when they go to the doctor to make complaints. Oh that you were wise at that time. Feed your body with appropriate food for your health. Be careful with fasting. If you persistently subject that body to a bad condition you shall find it so in future. A particular pastor once said, ‘I have finished all my fasting!’ I asked, ‘How did you finish your fasting?’ He explained that he went on marathon fasting as ...
