OBSTACLES IN THE HEAVENLY RACE

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

OBSTACLES IN THE HEAVENLY RACE  
MAY Monday 10th
TEXT: PHILIPPIANS 3:12-15
Key Verse: “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus” Hebrews 3:1 
God has called us to a high, holy and heavenly calling, so your names have been enrolled in heaven. Considering the total population of about 7 billion humans on earth, are we sure the names in the book of life is up to Five Hundred Million? We are so blessed to have our names are in the book of life. However, the Lord wants to warn you of some obstacles on the way to heaven. 
1 Corinthians. 9: 24-27
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means when I have preached to others, I should be a castaway. 
What are the things that remove people’s names from the Book of life? : 
(1) Unbelief: Peter began to sink when he looked away from Jesus. Israelites disbelieved God despite the wonders He did on their way to Canaan. 
(2) The Flesh: The flesh is a big obstacle. If you don’t manage your flesh or body it will remove your name from the book of life; 
(3) The Word: Be careful with the cares of this world.
(4) Family: Do not allow the pressure from your family members to stop you from Heaven 
(5) Money: Remember Judas sold Jesus for 30 pieces of Silver. Do not love money more than God; 
(6) Satan: Jesus was tempted but He overcame. You must also overcome Satan  
Thought of the day: Lest after preaching to others I should be cast away. 
Song of the day: Heavenly race, I no go tired….      
Bible reading for the day: 
1 Kings 21-22; John 3:1-21

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...
