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 saying, “We are your mentors, come and tap into apostolic anointing with money.” 


Let me narrate a real-life story I was told in order to explain this point. A man organized a crusade in Aba, a city in eastern Nigeria. As the story went, somebody who was not going home after work in the evening gave his neighbour thirty thousand naira (N30, 000) to take home for him until he returned, because he did not want to be tempted to spend the money where he was going. As the neighbour was coming home, he saw people gathered at the crusade ground. He moved closer to witness what was going on there. As soon as he came to the crusade ground, Satan reported through the preacher: “There is a man here with thirty thousand naira (N30, 000) in your pocket. In fact, that money does not belong to you. Your neighbour gave it to you to take home for him, but the Lord said I should tell you to try Him with that money and you will see miracle.” 


These people use witchcraft and divination to extract information from people. The devil-inspired minister said, “Before you reach home, the Lord said He will surprise you.” These pastors send demons to the markets and streets to report to them what is happening there. The neighbour believed, having expressed shock at the accuracy of his word. He gave out the thirty thousand naira, but on the way home, no miracle took place. He arrived home, yet the miracle did not happen, until the owner of the money returned and demanded for his money. What a deception! What a shame!

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...
