TOPIC: VALUE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD ABOVE ANY OTHER IN THIS WORLD

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED

DATE: MONDAY 1 FEBRUARY

TOPIC: VALUE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD ABOVE ANY OTHER IN THIS WORLD

TEXT: Luke 14:26-27
KEY VERSE: Matthew 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. 

As a true disciple, there is a cost of following Jesus. You might be a woman married to a man in a second marriage and you have given birth to children. You are even old now and the word of God says it is against the will of God for you to marry a man as second wife. Now, God is asking you to pack out of that house and stay separately. You cannot begin to lament about your children or what would become of them. God is talking to you, not your children. He is saying you are in a wrong marriage because you are a second wife. You are an illegal wife; a prostitute in that house. He is saying you should pack and leave that place. You are asking “God, where will I go? What will I eat? Where will I stay?” Whether it would mean you will be running up and down in the wilderness of this life, God is telling you, “Pack out of that place and leave!” This is a costly obedience for your peace and eternal life. 

It is you that thinks you are living well in that house, but God knows you are not living well. He has looked into your tomorrow and knows that your tomorrow is not good in that house. He has seen that you will lose eternal life. That is why He asks you to leave that place. Maybe you are a man that has married a second or third wife. Maybe your first wife went away and you got married to another one with whom you have been living together. But now the Lord has come to you with a warning as He came to Abimelech and said, “You are a dead man. You have married a woman illegally. You have married another man’s wife.” Don’t begin to say, “My wife has also gone and married somebody else.” That does not mean anything. If you want peace you will do what God asks you to do. Again, you may want to say, “This thing will bring shame to me.” Know that Abraham despised the shame when he sent his son and Hagar away. How many people would have murmured at Abraham because they didn’t hear the voice of God? it was Abraham that heard the voice of God and now God demands obedience from Abraham. Did he begin to think about what people will say? No! Just do it for your peace and eternal life. 

Thought for the day: Whatever you do, make sure it is to strengthen your relationship with God and not to break it.
Song for the day: I must go with Jesus everywhere, no matter the roughness…..
Bible reading for the day: Exodus 27-28; Matthew 21:23-46 #Horemow.

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
