TOPIC: DON’T REJECT GODLY CORRECTION AND REBUKE –  IT IS FOR YOUR GOOD

TEXT: Proverbs 15:10-12

KEY VERSE: Hebrews 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 


If your pastor cannot rebuke you because you will get angry at his rebuke, then you are a bastard and not a child of God. As there are bastards in the society, so are there bastards in the church. They don’t have fathers, they don’t have mentors, they are bastards because they cannot take corrections; they cannot take rebuke; they get angry when they are reproved. They are bold-faced and the leader must not rebuke them. The word of God says if you cannot be rebuked, then you are a bastard. Sometimes, earthly fathers rebuke and chastise their children even in their innocence. What do the children do? Do they fight back because they were chastised in their innocence? No! They take the chastisement patiently because it is their father. Why then are you not taking chastisement patiently in the church because you think that you are righteous? If you are truly a righteous man you would have known that even Jesus suffered unjustly and He did not open His mouth. Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep, before her shearers are dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 


Hebrews 12:9 “Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?  Many of us have testimonies that we obeyed our fathers even when they acted wrongly; even when they did it roughly. Some parents will tie their children with rope, deny them food and use many other harsh methods and we subjected ourselves to their discipline. How much more this God of eternal life? Now you are no longer under your earthly father, you are no longer under his control because you are an adult now. Your father is even treating you as a father. When you go home he says, “Oh my father welcome?” Or he treats you as a friend now. He doesn’t beat you anymore because you have graduated. What about the One that will keep you forever, don’t you want Him to fashion you according to His interest, according to His vision? If not, how will He keep you forever? Hebrews 12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.” 


Thought for the day: Accept godly rebuke for it will profit your life. 

Song for the day: Father of life draw me closer, Lord my heart is set on You….

Bible reading for the day: Leviticus 20-21; Matthew 28

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...
