THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH (PART 2)

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

25TH TUESDAY JANUARY

THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH (PART 2)           
TEXT: ROMANS 1:16-17
Key verse: Habakkuk 2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted is not upright in him:  but the just shall live by his faith.
The faith of the just is based on the promises of God. God can look at a contrary situation of your life and throws a promise to you that if you are not a person of faith, you might miss the promise as clearly seen in Abraham’s case. He just believes in the testimonies of the scripture and that as it happened to those in the scripture, it will likewise happen to him. They just believe in the prophetic word of God. I have heard many testimonies of God’s promises. 
I went out one day and noticed a location Pastor and some brethren carrying an insane woman towards my house. When I approached them, they informed me of what was going on. I quickly informed them to carry the woman to the fellowship venue. We took time and prayed for her and the prayer was effective because she who had not eaten requested a meal. The brethren were relieved as they too were very much engaged with her display. Hence, when she calmed down, the brethren took out time to refresh themselves. However, the same evening, I was told that she was nowhere to be found.  In the morning, I requested for a search to be made around the location and for an extension to other parts nearby.  
I went to the scriptures and ask God to speak to me. I received a lead to reading the story of the prodigal son but I wondered what I could receive from it. Nevertheless, I still went on to read it. There is a verse that indicated that the prodigal son has gone far; then I knew that the woman had truly gone far. As I read further, I came to the verse that says “for this, my son was dead and is alive again, he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.” Luke 15:11-32. At this, I knew that the quickened scripture has been given by God. I knew that no matter how far the woman had gone, she would be found. Therefore, hold on to the prophetic word God has given you. 
Romans 1:16-17 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Examples abound of just men that lived by faith: Daniel spent a night with hungry lions in their den; Joshua made the sun and the moon to stand still; Abraham and Sarah believed God for a son at very old age; Joseph believed God for the realization of his dream; Paul ran the Christian race and finished well by faith and David overcame Goliath by faith
Thought for the day: Have faith in God 

Song for the day: Forever oh Lord your word is settled in heaven it is settled.

Bible reading for the day: 
Exodus 9-10; Matthew 18:1-20

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...
