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 is one thing and to interpret it correctly is another (Genesis 41:15,16). Except God gives the grace of interpretation to the recipient, the service of another person gifted and called by God will be required to interpret the message.

Some of those who receive divine revelations are children, illiterates, unbelievers, and new converts. If they are to be depended upon to interpret and apply the revelations they have received, the word of God will be distorted and the church of Christ will be led into error. Sound knowledge of the Bible is required for the correct interpretation of a revelation message. Divine revelation or prophesying must not be despised by believers. Apart from normal preaching and teaching from the scriptures, the Lord also uses this means to edify, exhort and comfort His children, and by this means also, He warns both saints and sinners of the danger of sin and the eternal judgment of hellfire. Divine revelations are not superior to the written word of God. The scripture is the instrument of ascertaining whether a revelation is from the Holy Spirit or not. All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:16-17. Any revelation that is according to the word and spirit of the scripture exalts Jesus, promotes righteousness and holiness, and does not violate any scriptural landmarks, should be received for edification, exhortation, and comfort.

Thought for the day: Do not exalt revelation above the word of God.

Song for the day: God can not lie, His word must surely come to pass........

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 9-10; 1 Corinthians 15:1-32

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...
