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

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...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
