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

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...
