For taking your time to study remain blessed.
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: and in the keeping of them there is great reward. Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee. John 8:30-32 As He spake these words, many believed in Him. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free

Believers need to be taught the doctrines of Scripture so that they may know what to believe, what to do and what not to do. It is the responsibility of the ministers of God to outline and teach these scriptural doctrines for all to know and obey them. Through the preaching and teaching of the Word of God, believers can know their privileges in the gospel and appropriate them by faith. As good as singing, a manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and other inspired activities are, they had limited place. The focus was given to the preaching and teaching of the Word of God. The charge Timothy was given is the charge the Lord has given to every true minister of the gospel in the church of Christ today. 1Timothy 4:11-12, These things command and teach. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Let the Word of God be richly preached and taught so that members of the congregation will know the Word. Every believer has the liberty also to search the scripture to preach, to teach and to exhort one another and to reach out to unbelievers as well. Make it a duty to study and search the Word of God. It inspires. Discover this hidden treasure.

Thought for the day: The word of God is more precious than gold and silver.
Song for the day: Read your Bible, Pray every day
Bible reading for the day: Song of Solomon 4-5; 2 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...
