For taking your time to study remain blessed.

DON'T DIE IN A FAR COUNTRY   
TEXT:  LUKE 15: 17-21
Key verse:  Jeremiah 3:12 “Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, 
Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to 
fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger forever”

A man left his country and went to a far country for business. There in that country, he became sick and died. His relations instructed that he could be buried there. What a pain to his relations and friends! They would see him no more forever. His name soon vanished from their memory. There was nothing to show for him. Anyone can die far away from home and be buried like this.
There is great danger if you die being far away from God (1) Angels will not carry you to heaven, because you do not qualify. (2) God will send your soul to hell. (3) Your righteous relations, parents, friends and acquaintances in Christ shall not see you in heaven. (4) The material things you got in far country life shall never be traced. (5) There shall be no remembrance of you in Book of life.
There is danger in living far away from God. Death can strike at any time. There is danger in delaying to coming back to God. The door can be closed against you. You may go too far to come back. Don't be deceived by tricks of Satan like pleasure, lusts, power, riches, beauty and friendship with the world.

The prodigal son delivered his soul by taking these positive steps to return:
· Realization: I am perishing away from home.
· Resolution: I will arise and go to my father.
· Repentance: I have sinned; I am no more worthy.
· Return: He arose and came to his father.
· Reconciliation: The father received him with a kiss.
· Re-clothing: The father re-clothed him.
· Rejoicing: There was feasting and merry-making. 

Thought for the day: Don’t die in a far country. Come back home. The Father is waiting for you! 
Song for the day: Until I reach my home (2x), I will never….
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 27-28; 2 Timothy 4

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...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
