WEDNESDAY 7 JULY

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS AND THANK THE LORD

TEXT: Psalm 124:1-6

Key Verse: Psalm 46:7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is

our refuge. Do you remember that time of social disturbances when you were cornered and bullets were flying here and there? But you know that it wasn't by your expertise that the bullets didn't hit you. It was just Jehovah God that did it. Do you remember the delay you had in marriage and how you lost hope of becoming a husband or wife to somebody? But see you now, a happily married person. What about the delay in childbearing like Sarah who said “Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.” Can you count them all? What about getting a job and several other things? Deliverances, provisions, connections, successes, and all. But do you remember them at all? Do you remember those promises you made to God when He gave you those deliverances and blessings? Psalms 106: 7 says, “Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.” They spoke madly against God; they despised God. They said, “why did You bring us out, was it not better for us to be in Egypt?” That was what they were saying to God. They forgot the great deliverances of God.

Brother, I am begging you; don't treat God like that. If you have a problem with your memory, learn to write His goodness down. The song says: Count your blessings name them one by one; count your blessings see what God has done. Count your blessings, name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done. Sister, count your blessings! If you are forgetful, write them down. Open a book of remembrance to assist you so that whenever you go through these books, you will remember what the Lord did for you in time past. King Ahasuerus had such a book of remembrance in which he wrote the kindness of people, the good people did to him. That was how he remembered the good deed of Mordecai and rewarded him. Otherwise, with everything Mordecai had done for him, he would have killed his benefactor by his signature. Have you done anything to show appreciation to people God used for you? Learn to remember because forgetfulness is dangerous. It leads you to ignore God.

Thought for the day: Learn to appreciate the goodness of man and God to you.

Song for the day: Count your blessings, name them one by one.

Bible reading for the day: Job 35-37; Acts 14

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...
