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 saint than to start as a saint and end up a sinner. Whatever your level of spiritual growth or the degree of your spiritual exploits, do not glory yet. 

Satan is a dogged fighter and a stubborn adversary. He never relents and he is no respecter of persons. Many great men of God have fallen into his trap in the last few days of their lives. That is why Paul admonished the Corinthian Christians: 

1 Corinthians 10:11-12. Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world have come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he falls.

In our reading text, Apostle Paul mentioned Hymenaeus and Alexander as disciples who had fallen away and shipwrecked their faith. Judas was a close disciple of Jesus Christ and a miracle worker but he too fell into the hands of Satan. 

Many Christians have shipwrecked their faith without knowing it. They do not know because they are still exercising the gift of the Holy Spirit. They fail to realize that anointing is not holiness. While the gift of God is irrevocable, the salvation of a saint is revocable on account of sin. 

And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, he will I blot out of my book.” Exodus 32:33. 

You must hold fast what you have and not grow weary in your journey of salvation. Remain fervent in prayer and abstain from all appearances of evil. In this way, you will preserve your soul till eternity. 

Thought for the day: Remain steadfast in faith and guard your life against the wiles of the devil. 

Song for the day: O Jesus I have promised to serve You to the end

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 3-4; 

1 Corinthians 13.

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...
