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. Today's key verse says those with covetous hearts are cursed children.  Can you see what covetousness can do? You desire everything that your brother has; everything your sister has should be your own as if you are the only one that should have the best of everything in life. 

You are never satisfied with what is given to you. You are like Korah, Dathan and Abiram who were not satisfied with the office they were occupying and they coveted Aaron's office. Moses asked them, are you not satisfied with what God gave you, that you are also coveting the high priesthood? It is from the heart. Look at the heart of Absalom: Oh that I was the king! Oh, that I could deputise for the King. Covetous man; never satisfied! I want the position just for the sake of it. Idolatry! That is why the Bible says they are cursed children. Let your moderation be known by all, for the Lord is at hand. Let your moderation be in buying clothes. Be moderate, and exercise control over your appetite.  The Bible says in Proverbs 25:16, “Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.” Learn to control yourself. Learn to be content with life for we brought nothing into this world and we shall take nothing out. 

Thought for the day: Covetous people are under a divine curse. Learn to be contented with what you have.
Song for the day:  He's enough for me….the Man of Calvary is enough for me
Bible reading for the day: Ecclesiastes 10-12; 2 Corinthians 11:16-33

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. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given 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 may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
