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

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...
