TEXT: Genesis 16:11-12
11 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
KEY VERSE: Philippians 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.
When Sarah asked Abraham to send away Hagar and her son Ishmael, it grieved him. But God consented for a reason even though He knew it was painful to Abraham, His friend. Because God knew the future of the child, He told Abraham to get him out of the family. God knew that the child would grow up to become an international troublemaker. He would be causing trouble all over the world.
If Abraham allowed him to mingle closely with his children, he would never allow their prosperity; he would never allow their peace; Abraham’s children and children’s children shall suffer great opposition in the hands of Ishmael. God knew that if Ishmael remained in Abraham’s house, His promise concerning Abraham’s life would be frustrated.
His works and plans concerning Abraham’s life would be frustrated for as long as Ishmael remained in that family. Abraham didn’t know this at that time but God knew. God knew what would happen in hundreds of years to come. God knew what would happen a thousand years to come five thousand years to come. That was why He instructed Abraham to handle the matter that way to remove the obstacle to His glorious destiny.
It was Abraham’s mistake to have slept with his wife’s maid. God did not promise him a child through another woman. So my brother, my sister, what are these things that are too costly for you to remove or give up? You are working with somebody’s certificate, which means you are living by impersonation. That document is a lie and the Lord is saying you cannot build your foundation upon a lie.
You must confess it for heaven’s sake. Don’t say, “God, You have to understand. How will people see it? I can’t go back to school now.” The Lord is not talking about going back to school. He is saying you should confess that fraudulent certificate and withdraw from that service. You need to do it for your peace and eternal life.
How did you feel each time you hear that Jesus is coming soon? Were you not almost saying, “God stop, please stop?” God should stop until when? You have no peace in your life, and this you know. Your dreams are showing that you are missing the rapture. You have prayed; you have fasted but there is no answer. Confess that thing for your peace and for your eternal life.
Thought for the day: Nothing is too valuable to give up in this life in order to enter heaven.
Song for the day: Grace, grace, God’s grace. Grace that would pardon….
Bible reading for the day: Deuteronomy 29-30;
Mark 16 #Horemow.

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. January Saturday 18th TOPIC: HOW TO ATTAIN BIBLE HOLINESS TEXT: Romans 6:20-23 KEY VERSE: Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Besides the essential knowledge of the holy life of a Christian, it is good to understand the manner and process of becoming holy before God. Holiness of life is a life that has overcome sin through the saving power of Jesus Christ. Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. It is a life that does not commit sin. 1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Getting this experience requires four things: 1. Know that apart from holiness, there is no alternative lifestyle for heaven. Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holin...
