THE WORD OF GOD 
TEXT: PSALM 119: 8-12
Key verse: Psalm 119:4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.

Your attitude while reading or hearing God's word depends on whether or not you accept it as the infallible verdict of the unchanging God, full and final in all its declarations. God's honour, integrity, might and ability stand behind His word, “For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” God's word is supreme to all the opinions and ideologies of men. Of it alone it can be said, “Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in the the the keeping of them there is great reward”. Psalms 19:12. “Every word of God is pure” Proverbs 30:5.

A metaphor taken from the purifying of metals is employed here. It means that everything that God has pronounced is pure, without dross. God's word is free from any mixture of error, from all falsehood. The whole scripture is both pure and purifying. We have not read the scriptures correctly if the exercise has not had a definite purifying purpose, which is that the sons of men might, through reading and applying its messages to their lives, become the sons of God. 

Coming from the God of truth, who cannot lie, it is called “the Scriptures of truth”. Whatever tests the Bible may be subjected to, it is always like gold: it bears the fire and comes out with the same purity, beauty and weight. Every promise is true, every doctrine is pure; every commandment is right, and every prophecy is sure. Every one of them is free from mixtures and inventions of men. The scripture must confirm every revelation message before it is accepted.
Since the Bible finds its origin in the mind of God, it cannot be anything but perfect. Any addition or subtraction contaminates its declared purity and opens the way to errors and corruption. The scriptures retain their life-changing face and mighty power only when preached and believed in its pure, unadulterated form. As gold loses some value when mixed with dross, so the word of God becomes powerless to save anyone if mixed with private interpretations of men.

Thought for the day: The whole scripture is both pure and purifying  
Song for the day: Something more than gold, Something more than silver….
Bible reading for the day:  Jeremiah 38-39; Hebrews 1

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 ...
