TOPIC: DISCIPLINE PRODUCES RIGHTEOUSNESS

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

DATE: TUESDAY MARCH 2

TOPIC: DISCIPLINE PRODUCES RIGHTEOUSNESS 

TEXT: Psalm 89:30-34
30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

KEY VERSE: Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. 

God says if you being evil give good things to your children, how much more would your heavenly Father (perfect and good Person), give good things to them that love Him? If earthly parents, being evil, chasten children for their pleasure, how much more God? How much more will you submit to God who chastens us for our profit? Your father is chastening you for his pleasure, but God says it is for your profit.

God is saying, “If I don’t do this, you will not come to heaven.” Without obedience, how do you think you will enter heaven? This truth is what you already know and preach: “thou that teacheth others teacheth not thou thyself? Thou that sayest disobedience will take to hell, knoweth not thou that thy own disobedience will also take you to hell?” 

That is what God is saying to us. Is that not love? Is it not even love that preserved you until this time that you are hearing this message? What if you had died before today, it would have been presented to you as one of the reasons why you will be escorted to hell. “That we might be partakers of His holiness” (Hebrews 12:10), means this holy life needs discipline. 

There can be no holiness where there is no discipline. There can be no holiness in a ministry that does not discipline its members. Ministers who don’t have others appointed by God to exercise discipline over them but want to do as they want will not see heaven. It is not everybody that can be a General Overseer because not everybody has the ability to discipline. They do it for other gains; they play with sinners among them: sinful elders, sinful leaders, sinful pastors. 

They have no power to discipline or rebuke them. Who called you to be a General Overseer? Who asked you to start a church? You cannot take anybody to heaven because of this your weak life. Eli, your children are not going to heaven! They lack parental discipline. They lack ministerial discipline. They are being over-pampered and not taught in the way of the Lord. How can they go to heaven?  Let no man downplay discipline in the church, otherwise decay and corruption will gradually set in and many will miss out in this heavenly race. 

Thought for the day: Discipline is an essential part of the holy life.

Song for the day: I will never let, the devil win the battle, I will never 
compromise with sin……

Bible reading for the day: Numbers 28-29; Mark 9:1-29 #Horemow

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...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
