TOPIC: JESUS HAS MADE SOME MEN TO RESEMBLE HIM

TEXT: Isaiah 60:1-3

KEY VERSE: Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. 


A holy man loves without pretence. He deals sincerely in his relationship with people. Know this, my brother and sister, in spite of the deceitfulness of the hearts of men, there are men that Jesus has made to be like Him.  There are men and women that are just like Jesus. In Antioch, the believers were first called Christians. In other words, they were called Christs because they resembled Jesus in everything they did. So there are people Jesus has made to resemble Himself because we can be exactly like Him in holiness. The Bible tells us: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” Why should we be living this Christian life and still not believe one another? What then are we doing here? How should we be in the Holiness Revival Movement and still not believe in the holiness of our leaders? It means we are wasting time here. 


Why don’t you believe in the holiness of your brother? I know pretences can be there, but wait until the pretences manifest; otherwise, if you hold that in your heart you will not trust anybody, including yourself. The person who cannot trust anybody will neither trust himself nor will people trust him too. You don’t trust, because you have the heart of unbelief. Let us live in an atmosphere of faith. Let us learn to believe one other. Paul said, “Help those yokefellows whose names are in the book of life (Philippians 4:3).” Can we say that statement by Paul is too strong? Can we say he should have changed it to, “Maybe in the book of life?” What gave Paul the confidence to reach such a definite conclusion about them? Paul will answer you, “I am so sure because I have lived with those people; they have worked with me; I have checked their lives and I have the inner witness that I am dealing with genuine Christians. Their names are in the book of life. I lived with them. not for one day, not one week. I have interacted with them long enough to know them perfectly. They are holy people.”


Thought for the day: Jesus is able to make you as holy as Himself.

Song for the day: Let others see Jesus in you…..

Bible reading for the day: Genesis 27-28; Matthew 9:18-38

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...
