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 it and make progress.  All that is required of you is to trust in your God.

Psalm 91:13-16
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because He hath set His love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known My Name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him My salvation. 

In today's devotional text, a man came to Jesus asking Him to come to his house to heal his daughter that was ill.  Jesus delayed incoming and a message was sent to this man not to trouble Jesus anymore because his daughter had died. Jesus overheard the bad news that was brought to this man and encouraged him: “Be not afraid, only believe!” That is what Jesus is saying to you.  Whatever is confronting you, be not afraid, only believe.  If you sincerely believe, you will see the glory of God.  Is that terrible sickness threatening your life?  Be not afraid, for you shall live to give testimony if only you can believe God.  You will overcome that problem and laugh at the devil.  If a just man falls inside water and appears to be drowning, if only he can believe, he will float on the surface of the water and be rescued.  This is the exhortation to the just man and woman. 

Thought for the day: Faith activates miracles.
Song for the day: I believe, yes Lord I believe….it is well with me
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 10-12; Galatians 5

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...
