GIVING THANKS AND PRAISES UNTO GOD.

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.
GIVING THANKS AND PRAISES UNTO GOD 
June Friday 25th
TEXT: Ephesians 5: 20-27
Key verse: “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” 1Thessalonians 5:18.
In everything give thanks and praise to God. This is what God desires from His children. Our thanks and praise should ascend to God in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in everything, good or evil; in pleasure or pain, in the joy of life or the dread of death. God requires this from every believer. It is good for the Christian. However, praise and thanksgiving to God are often forgotten by men in times of peace, prosperity and pleasure. The scripture warns every child of God against this transgression and costly forgetfulness.
To forget to give God praise and thanks in your good times deprives your soul of humility and fills it instead with pride of self. The heart of the one who forgets God in his achievements claims that he got it by his inherent powers, wisdom, ability, and connections. Or he may ascribe the glory to other human beings, or even to demons. Never fail to give God praise and thanks for all the good things in your life; they come from Him and He wants you to realize this and appreciate Him. 
Thank Him for the knowledge, wisdom, understanding, connections, human helps, open doors, favours, and grace He has given you. Praise and thanksgiving to God is a scriptural command, instruction and counsel. God wants us to praise Him when things are hard, unpleasant, and ugly, whether imagined or real. Job demonstrated this truth. He praised and worshipped God in the worst situation of his life. His wife wondered at such attitude. The Lord wants us to learn this from the life of Job. Our situation may not be as terrible as Jobs. If he praised and worshipped God when his days were dark we too can praise God likewise. 
Job 1:20-22: Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell upon the ground, and worshipped… blessed be the name of the LORD. In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

Thought for the day: Job worshipped God steadfastly even at his worst trial
Song for the day: Praise God Alleluia, Praise God Amen...
Bible Reading for the day: 
Job 4-6; Acts 7:20-43

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. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
