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

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
