BE HOLY AND PERFECT IN THE FACE OF CHALLENGES

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. 

DATE:  SUNDAY 12th DECEMBER

TOPIC: BE HOLY AND PERFECT IN THE FACE OF CHALLENGES

TEXT: JEREMIAH 35: 14-16

Key verse: 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Many people are not able to stand when they are challenged in life by difficulties and problems. Some that are unmarried feel agitated and overwhelmed because they feel that they are passing the flowering stage of life. 

This is a challenge and it makes them unstable in Christ. Some married women do not have good husbands. Some husbands are wicked and do not have good character. 

There is a great challenge of unhealthy relationship with their husbands, which makes some women become wicked and evil themselves in a bid to checkmate their husbands. 

For some, it is the challenge of poverty that makes them unable to stand as they indulge in many sinful practices to make ends meet. For some, it is the challenge of persistent sicknesses and diseases which drain family resources. 

It could be physical deformity that makes some feel inferior and ashamed. To some it is the problem of barrenness or delayed child bearing that tend to make them feel and behave as second class women or as if they do not have the right to live. 

They conclude within themselves that since they are unable to marry or bear children, what then am I created for? Some become withdrawn and resort to hiding themselves away from society. 

That is a wrong action. Desist from hiding yourself and come out of your hiding place because your God is going to give you the position He has occasioned to give you. Your God will lay His hand upon your life and exalt you above other people. 

Your God will make you shine and the glory of the Lord shall rest upon your life. Do not blame God that you are not married at 60 years of age. That does not mean anything. If God wants you to marry and bear children He will bring it to pass. 

Just keep on with your Christian life of holiness and prayer and serve God in righteousness. We serve the great and mighty God. Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. Trust Him and never doubt. 

Thought for the day: Take all problems and challenges to the Lord in prayer

Song for the day: Trust and obey, for there is no other way....

Bible reading for the day: Hosea 12-14; 
Revelation 3.  #Horemow

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...
