COMPLETE OBEDIENCE AND SUBMISSION TO GOD'S WORD

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

SUNDAY 27 MARCH

COMPLETE OBEDIENCE AND SUBMISSION TO GOD'S WORD
TEXT: Psalms 19: 7-11 
Key verse: Matthew 4: 4 "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
Our text today presents the word of God as perfect, pure, righteous, pure and clean. Our obedience to it must be complete and total. Keep to the word exactly. You must not show over righteousness on it. It awakens one to total obedience and complete loyalty to God in our daily life and service to Him. Many have left the ancient path and have taken to modern Christianity. You cannot criticize God nor His word. His word remains the same across generations. It is Yea and Amen! 
We are going to consider three points in this message.
1) God demands complete obedience to His word. The revealed word of God is given to us to obey. Jesus died to bring complete obedience and wholesome righteousness to man. In His instruction to the children of Israel, He demanded the keeping of all the commandments  (Deuteronomy 4: 1, 2); matters of tithe payment; righteousness; living in love; peace; prayer; faith in God and service in the house of God. All the ways that He has shown you, walk-in them all that ye may live; for your eternal life is in keeping all, that it may be well with you and God shall prolong your days in the land that ye go in to possess (Deuteronomy 6:1-3).
2) Awakening and determination for complete obedience to God's word. Usually, human organizations do not demand total loyalty to the authority of men. Parents may not demand complete obedience from their children. They may make provisions to accommodate their weaknesses and little stubbornness. Educational institutions do not demand 100% scores from their students but expect satisfactory performance from them. Many think these principles apply to God's word and his standard. Many Christians are working for minimum qualification for heaven. The examination questions for heaven are objective and you must pass all. If you fail once, you fail all. Don't think you are trying. You must do it perfectly and rightly to enter heaven. 
3) Commitment and prayer for God's sufficient grace: We are called upon to give ourselves unto God with all our commitment to Him. We must pray to God to keep our commitment to God and our leaders. Psalm 119: 4 – 6, "Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. In obedience, we come                     
Thought for today: God gives value only to those that obey His word. Are you one?
Song for the day: I am ready to obey thy word …
Bible reading for the day: 
Joshua 19-20; Luke 5:17-39

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...
