CONTINUE IN FAITH TO THE END

God bless you for taking your time to study.

CONTINUE IN FAITH TO THE END 
 
TUESDAY AUGUST 9th

TEXT: Acts 14: 20-23
Key verse: Colossians 1: 23, “If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, [and] which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;”
To continue in faith is a commission and expectation of every believer. Believers should continue in faith so that they are grounded, settled, and established; and this should be the pattern of their journey until they come to the end of their faith. Faith should not stop; it is utmost and paramount that every believer continues to the end because that is where salvation is secured. 
1 Peter 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls
John 8:30-32 30 As he spake these words, many believed on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
The prophets and apostles knew the importance of continuing in faith. Elijah’s mantle was passed to Elisha for faith to continue. The apostle Paul in his missionary journeys made a practice of going back to visit the believers, confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in faith. Peter also exhorted the brethren to add to their faith, and virtue… 2 Peter 1: 5. 
Adding to our faith and continuing in faith is a daily exercise of the believer that wants to see the successful end of their faith. It involves continuing in prayer, continuing in brotherly love, continuing with the word of God, continuing in the apostle’s doctrine, and continuing in one accord. We should not be continuing in sin but faith. ‘What shall we say then, should we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid’ (Romans 6:1). Let us continue in faith and be steadfast unto the end.

Thought for the day: Continue to the end and you shall wear the crown of life

Song for the day: Continue, Jesus says continue, I am coming very soon…

Bible reading for the day: 
Psalms 85-87; Romans 9

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...
