Ruth lived a virtuous life as a widow. She chose to serve the living God. Ruth made up her mind to serve the Lord. She had watched the life of Naomi and seen a commitment to the living God. She made up her mind to serve the living God. Woman, if you want to overcome immorality, start with God by giving your life to Him. He alone can change you and remove immorality from you.

THURSDAY 30 SEPTEMBER   AS THE SINNER NEEDS HEART  PURGING, THE BELIEVER NEEDS  HEART SANCTIFICATION TEXT: John 17:4-20  Key verse: John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth God demands the heart of a sinner. He told the sinner, “Give Me your ...heart”. What for? “I want to save it from ...sin”. There are things you do, evil places you go and evil activities you engage in. Come for your heart cleansing. “Give Me your heart to break the power of those things. You will not find yourself doing them anymore.”  That is what He tells the sinner. “Give Me your heart, and I will break the power of sin in your heart. You will not find yourself committing fornication, adultery, drunkenness, lying and other sins again. You will not do that anymore because “If any man is in Christ, he is a new creation.”   God comes again to the believer and says “Give Me your heart.” You are following God already, ...

WEDNESDAY 29th SEPTEMBER THE CORRUPT INFLUENCE OF MUSIC AND TELEVISION ON CHILDREN TEXT: Galatians 6:7-8 Key verse: Psalm 101:3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the  work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me Music! The devil has gotten hold of the music. Music is the most appealing thing to the flesh. It makes people dance, sing rough words and speak slang. The music of our day goes with pornography. The musicians bring naked women and actual acts of immorality into the music.  The people singing and dancing in contemporary music are stars. They train your daughter to stand in her underwear. She watches it, so fear and shame are no more there. They teach her harlotry right in her father's house through music and, of course, they are making a name. She wants to make a name too. They are paying them much for such nakedness. She needs the money too. She has gotten a friend who told her how much she mad...

TEXT: Matthew 15:8-9 Key verse:  John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is when the true worshippers shall  worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him The fake Christianity people are practising all over the place cannot produce the right man God is looking for to serve a divine purpose in this world. The fleshly Christianity where people gather like children of demons and claim they are worshipping God whereas they have nothing to do with Him is not the type of Christianity we are talking about. New work has risen in our day; the work of righteousness, the work of holiness, where they that must worship God must worship him in spirit and truth. This is the new work involving people that are ready to give honour to God in their lives, in their character and their behaviour. Holiness Revival Movement is different from the old thing you...

Monday 27th September THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH TEXT: Mark 5:35-42 Key verse: John 11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest  believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?  Today's topic is both an exhortation and an instruction to every believer on how to relate with God personally.  God expects you to exercise personal faith in Him so that you may live. Whatever situation that arises against a just man, he is exhorted to have a personal faith in God. Are you experiencing some invasions of the enemy in your life? Are sicknesses and diseases tormenting your life? Whatever opposition that comes against a just man; whatever mountain is standing against a just man, trying to instil fear into him, the Bible advises the just man to have faith in God in the presence of that great contrary situation, to live and overcome.  Have faith in God despite that great opposition and you shall conquer...

TEXT:  Romans 8:35-39 Key verse: Psalm 36:7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children  of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. My children must very frequently  ponder the love with which I watch over them! They must become increasingly aware of  this love, which takes in everything — all their possibilities, all their choices, all that is  within them, all the circumstances surrounding them. Truly it is a covering of love.  Ephesians 3:16-21 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowled...

Saturday 25th September   THE ETERNAL DOOM OF A SECRET SINNER TEXT: EZEKIEL 18:24-26 Key verse:  Ezekiel 18:30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one  according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all  your transgressions, so iniquity shall not be your ruin. oday we shall examine the eternal state of a once committed brother who died in secret sin. This excerpt is one of the series of divine revelations contained in the book titled HOW TO ESCAPE HELL AND ENTER HEAVEN MADE SIMPLE as narrated by Bro. Michael Thomas Sambo. “What I saw with my two eyes in hell broke my heart and I wept. I cannot describe hell as a mortal man. If anyone gets there, he will tell it better. In hell, I heard the groaning of the damned. This was the second time I went to hell. I heard people crying and confessing the sins they refused to confess here on earth. Many pastors are in hell. Many ministers...

Friday 24th September  VISIBLE SIGNS THAT PROVE YOU ARE A CHILD OF LIGHT TEXT: Ephesians 4:17-32 Key verse:  Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation  the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts. God is light and there is no darkness in Him (1 John 1:5). True children of God walk in the light and not in darkness (1 John 1:6). Not everybody who calls on the name of Jesus belongs to Him; not everybody in the Church is a true child of God. There are all kinds of Christians in the church. Beyond saying, “I am a Christian” or “I belong to this church or that church” or “I am a pastor,” there are signs that should signpost your life to prove your identity in Christ Jesus.  Here are five things that happen when you come into the light of God. 1. Your life will stand you out in the dark world. Matthew 5:14-15 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. ...

Thursday 23rd September  THOSE FIGHTING HOLINESS MOVEMENTS ARE FIGHTING A LOST BATTLE   TEXT: Isaiah 41:8-16  Key verse: Exodus 14:14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your  peace.  The devil, the enemy of the Lord and all righteousness is doing all to hinder this work. He is raising individuals, congregations and governmental authorities to fight against this Movement. Great persecutions are being raised against our brethren in all quarters. There are also physical assaults. The backslidden churches are fighting against the holiness message. Influential Christian leaders are challenging the revelation experiences and messages used by this Movement. Witches and wizards, the marine kingdom, occultic forces are all out in full force to quench the light of this Holiness Movement. Some of our members have backslid and turned back. Some have fallen into the hands of enemies and are being used as instrum...

WEDNESDAY 22nd September  THE RICHES OF THE WORD OF GOD  TEXT:  2 Timothy 3:14-17 Key verse:  Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and the word  of His grace, which can build you up, and to give you an inheritance among  all them which are sanctified. The hearing of God's Word gives faith for salvation, sanctification, baptism with the Holy Spirit and other blessings of the gospel. When the Word of God is richly preached and taught, members of the congregation will know the Word, the knowledge of the Living God in His Trinity: the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Great are the benefits of the Word of God in our lives. Psalm 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. Psalm 19:7,11 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: ...

TUESDAY 21 SEPTEMBER  ASK GOD FOR THE ANSWER TEXT:  Daniel 2:1-12 Key verse:   Psalm 146:5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose  hope is in the LORD his God. King Nebuchadnezzar had dreamt a dream and the dream troubled him. But when he woke up, he had forgotten the dream he dreamt. But as he sensed it, the dream had a great meaning. So, he did not only want to remember the dream, but he also wanted its interpretation. Since it lied beyond him, he wanted manifestation of power; he wanted people operating at higher spiritual levels and specialized in such things to do it for him. He wanted people who could consult with familiar spirits to help him remember the dream and interpret it. So, he called the magicians, the soothsayers, the wise men and the astrologers whose duty it was to carry out such assignment for him. When he told them the assignment, they told him it could not be done. They made h...

MONDAY 20 SEPTEMBER THE COVETOUS HEART IS NEVER SATISFIED  TEXT:  Mark 7:21-23 Key verse: 2 Peter 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease  from sin; beguiling unstable souls: a heart they have exercised with covetous  practices; cursed children.  What makes you want more and more and more? What makes you buy more and more even when you don't need some of those things? What makes some people kill is because they want more. What makes some people blaspheme is because they covet what belongs to others.  Do not covet your neighbour's wife. Do not covet your neighbour's property. But if you have this heart, you can never be satisfied with what you have. You will always be looking for more. Ecclesiastes 5:10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. An evil heart can cause unbelief and make you depart from the Living God....

SATURDAY 18 SEPTEMBER  WHEN YOU SHOW LOVE, YOU BECOME A BLESSING TO PEOPLE  TEXT: Romans 12:9-18 Key verse: 1Timothy 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a  pure heart, and of a good conscience, and faith unfeigned What makes the pastor a good person is a love. When you come before the pastor he has a word for you, he has a smile to give you, he is ready to go into a conversation with you, he is ready to pray for you passionately, he is ready to counsel you. He is always wishing you get the best for yourself. All these make the pastor a good and loving person. What makes a father or mother a good person to his children is love. The children know how much their parents have sacrificed for them out of love.  What will make you a blessing to humanity is love; that you love people, you are cheerful before people, you are happy, and you are interested in people. That will make you a blessing because when somebo...

FRIDAY 17 SEPTEMBER  FREE YOURSELF FROM THE BURDEN OF GUILT TEXT: Isaiah 43:18-21 Key verse:  Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far does He  remove our transgressions from us. My child, it is always right to condemn yourself for sin, but it is never My wish that you spend time in a state of self-condemnation. If there is true sorrow for what has been wrong, My forgiveness is instantaneous. In My sight, you are made clean and worthy of My very best care. Guilt can produce yet more unworthy conduct — and the burden of guilt does not serve My purposes for you. My love not only sweeps away all sin when you look to Me in genuine sorrow over that sin, but it also sweeps away all attendant evil influences. Remember, no encouragement in sin and defeat. I am your Savior; your life-long source of loving forgiveness and hope.   Ezekiel 36:25-28 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from...

WEDNESDAY 15 SEPTEMBER DECIDE FOR JESUS NOW TO ESCAPE THE JUDGMENT THAT IS TO COME TEXT: John 3:18-19 Key verse: 2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel is hidden, it is hidden to them that are lost. Jesus finished His work, left the earth, and went back to heaven for about five to six hundred years before the founder of Islam was born. Why can't human beings reason well, seeing the wide gap? On what basis are the two religions comparable? Why are some people's hearts so darkened? Are we into religious politics or we are dealing with issues of the eternal soul of men? Are we not dealing with issues of hellfire or heaven for the souls of men? How would one say he does not know the difference between Christianity and Islam or between Jesus and Mohammed? How can he say that we are all serving the same God? How would a man allow such darkness to cover him and ignorance to overtake his life? Jesus said he that does not believe in Him sh...

  For taking your time to study remain blessed  TUESDAY 14 SEPTEMBER A FEARFUL HEART REVEALS A FAITHLESS MAN TEXT: Romans 8:14-15 Key verse: 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Some people have a fearful heart. They are always afraid of one thing or the other. Some people are even afraid of lizards. They see demons in almost everything, including lizards! You are afraid of shadows. You are afraid you will die. You are afraid an evil thing will take place. So you become restless out of fear of everything around you. But hear what God is saying to you in the scriptures: John 14:1, 27 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Can you see two states of that heart? Fearful and troubled heart! That scripture says, “Let n...

God who is more powerful than Satan has given us divine instructions concerning our children. Follow them! Do not be lazy like that lazy man whose vineyard king Solomon saw. Rise up and do this job, otherwise, your hope for heaven will be a mirage.  Rise up and train your children and listen to what the scripture says. Do it, do not respect the contrary decree of the government of your nation. Be wise! The way of the wise is above to deliver from evil beneath. Be wise and deliver your children.  Who comes to your children? Who teaches your children? Who relates with your children? Who is a friend to your children? Monitor everything. God will help you. God who does n...

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.  DATE: SUNDAY 12th SEPTEMBER  TOPIC: GOD'S EXPECTATION FROM YOU TO CLAIM HIS PROMISES    TEXT: John 16:23-24 Key verse:  Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;  knock, and it shall be opened unto you:  The woman that runs a restaurant knows that when you, as a customer, come to the restaurant and sit down, you are looking for food to eat. But she does not automatically give you the food without you asking for it.  Will you sit down there and say nothing while others come in, place their order, eat and go? Others come in and make their request but you keep sitting there, silent, and expect to eat? Many come to God, receive, and go, but you remain there silent.  Have you said anything to God? God says: I know the thoughts I have towards you: the thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you exactly what is in your heart. But you shall go and call unto M...

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.  DATE: SATURDAY 11th SEPTEMBER  TOPIC: EVANGELIZE, TEACH THE TRUTH AND REFUTE HERESIES  TEXT: Jude 1:3-5 Key verse:  Matthew 28:19 Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost When the preacher comes on the pulpit the congregation wait in vain, nothing comes out from there! They come out weak, hungry, and nothing comes out from month to month and year to year. Satan feasts on them like the servant that the birds of the air eat from his head.  The Lord is looking for a man and if he is not found, the wicked shall be turned into hell and all nations that forget God. So, God is asking, can any man jump up and say “Here am I, send me; here am I, I will go and the people shall hear convincing words from my mouth?”  Words of power that will convict sinners and make them to ask, “Brethren, what shall we do to be saved?” Preacher...

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.  DATE: THURSDAY 9th SEPTEMBER  TOPIC: IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO DWELL IN MY SECRET PLACE  TEXT:  Psalm 61:3-4 Key verse: Psalm 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.    My child, consider the privilege of dwelling in My secret place! Here, the things which threaten you (seemingly from within you or around you) all break down upon the shield which is Myself.  It is here that you find real security; it is here that you can, at times of great difficulty, surrender to My enveloping love. As you do so, you can mentally let everything else just slip away! It is here, in My secret place, that you absorb the strength you need to go on.  It is here that you receive enlightenment — or the patience you need until new light is given to you. Surrounded by Me, My children experience the true hope w...

You are responsible for the condition of your heart. You can do something to control it. Don't allow your heart to condemn you without a cause. God himself is saying you have something to do concerning this heart now. Your heart is telling you that you are condemned in spite of this pure Christianity you are practicing. Your heart is telling you that you will not make it to heaven. No, don't accept that! All these prayers, all these promises from scripture, are they not enough to give you assurance? Today's key verse says, “For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.” But you could be condemned indeed if you did evil. Your heart could be condemning you because you have done...

DATE: TUESDAY 7th SEPTEMBER  TOPIC: THE HOLY MAN IS A MAN OF FAITH TEXT:  Isaiah 50:7-10 Key verse: Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. The just will stand and leans on God. He relies on God and trusts in God. That is what makes them just live.   1 Thessalonians 2:10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe.  Apostle Paul could boldly and confidently declare that he belonged to God because he was a just man.  In whatever situation and circumstance of life, Paul was able to live through it because he was a just man.  During the turbulence at sea when his life was at great risk, Paul said he believed with unwavering and unshakeable faith that what God had told him would surely come to pass – they will all arrive safely (Acts 27:22-24).   As ...

MONDAY 6 SEPTEMBER PROVE EVERY REVELATION BY THE SCRIPTURE TEXT: Isaiah 1:10-15 Key verse: Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” God has given divine revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple, and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation message may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful; hence, he or she may not be capable of interpreting the revelation received correctly. To receive a divine revelation ...

SUNDAY 5 SEPTEMBER MOVE FORWARD BY FAITH AND YOU WILL OVERCOME TEXT: EXODUS 14:10-16 Key verse: Ezra 10:4 Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it. Patience and endurance are things encouraged in the Christian life. A believer facing some difficulties in life may encourage himself to be patient and endure more. However, you need to examine the matter well. It may be possible you are expected to do something about the problem. You may be waiting and enduring in your problem due to your ignorance, fear, indetermination, or laziness. Find out within yourself; maybe the Holy Spirit is stirring some spiritual provocations within you against that problem. The Holy Spirit may be telling you: “What is required is action to be taken.” In today's memory verse, Ezra was the appropriate person to initiate action. Both God and men were waiting for him and would supp...

SATURDAY  4 SEPTEMBER  EXERCISE WISDOM IN LOVE TEXT:  JAMES 1:4-6 Key verse:  Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom:  and with all thy getting get understanding. The word of God must dwell in the believer richly in all wisdom. This calls for proper interpretation of scripture, right discernment of the truth, and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Love must always be pure and must aim at the ultimate good of the other person. Wisdom calls for the right action to be taken to achieve the desired end. Godly wisdom is pure, undefiled, and is given by God. Every man must exercise wisdom in love. Wisdom cautions and advises. Where wisdom is lacking, we must pray for it. · Wisdom may demand withdrawal or change of attitude in order to overcome temptation, recover from chastisement and maintain purity.  · Wisdom may advise that some good be withheld from another temporarily in order to repr...

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.  DATE: FRIDAY 3 SEPTEMBER  TOPIC: DO NOT TAKE YOUR SALVATION FOR GRANTED TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 1:18-20  Key verse:  Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. No runner celebrates victory before the race ends. Salvation is a process and is likened to a race or a journey. As a race, you cannot celebrate the victory of salvation until you are called to glory.  As a journey, just as a safe departure does not guarantee safe arrival, being saved in the morning is not a guarantee of salvation in the afternoon. Every believer is prone to spiritual accidents. This calls for caution. Your spiritual condition at death is what matters most.  Matthew 24:13…But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.  Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof. It is better to start as a sinner and end up as a sai...
