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

DO NOT WREST OR MANIPULATE THE SCRIPTURES

JUNE Sunday 6th


TEXT: JEREMIAH 28:1-17

KEY VERSE:“As also in the epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.” 2 Peter 3:16

Beware of the danger of adding or taking away from the word of God. Most of the corruptions of the sacred scriptures have been caused by those who have professed some form of Christianity. Infidels have little interest in attempting such changes and even if they tried they would not wield enough influence to make their error received by the church. Serious alterations of the letter and spirit of the word have been effected by the addition or removal of words, the deliberate twisting of plain truths of scripture to serve private interests, over-spiritualizing of plain texts, making the scriptures subservient to dreams and visions, and the so-called lower and higher criticism taught in some seminaries.

The most solemn of expressions are employed in warning believers against adding or taking away from the scriptures. Damnation awaits all who alter the scriptures. The secret of preventing deviation from scriptures is steadfastness in studying and obeying it. Continuation is the sure antidote to corruption. Deliberate, disciplined and daily intake of God's word has been a source of spiritual strength and succour to generations of Christians. Contemporary believers are sometimes so preoccupied with legitimate earthly pursuits that no time is left for a consistent prayer life and meditation.

Commitment to the scriptures means that we read it prayerfully, meditate on it patiently, pray on it perseveringly, and obey it in totality. We must not only rejoice in the promises but we must also tremble under the judgments and hasten to obey the commandments. Do you alter the word of God? Do you add, subtract or even interpret it to suit your interest? Whenever you rejoice in the promises of the scriptures also remember to tremble at the judgments to avoid being doomed in the fire of hell.

Thought for the Day: There is a grave danger in manipulating the scripture.

Song for the Day: Forever O Lord, they Word is settled in heaven…

Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 20-22; John 16:1-15

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 ...
