GOD REQUIRETH THAT WHICH IS PAST.

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: GOD REQUIRETH THAT WHICH IS PAST. 

TEXT: Ezekiel 18: 3-9 
 
SATURDAY AUGUST 13th

KEY VERSE: Ecclesiastes 3: 15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
Continuation of Brother Overcomer’s testimonies
I decided to start with my first restitution. On Christmas day, 2017, I went to a man that we broke into his shop and stole foodstuff and oil and sold them. When I met him, he was busy doing some work. I greeted him and pleaded for his attention. He stopped and gave me attention but a strange voice was working on me to discourage me from doing my restitutions. I heard the voice clearly in my mind, "See you now. You want to disgrace yourself here. Do you want to celebrate Christmas in the prison?" Another calm voice encouraged me saying, "Let them disgrace you. Even if they disgrace you, you will go to heaven." 
I accepted the second voice and told myself I want to go to heaven. The first voice persisted, "No, don't endanger your life by confessing to this man", but the second voice told me to go ahead with my confession. The man asked if I wanted to buy something but I told him that I wanted to talk to him, so he said I should go on. I said, "Sir, some time ago around such a period, your shop was broken into and many goods carted away." He was surprised and he asked me, "How did you know?" I answered, "Sir that is why I am here. At that time I did not know God and I was living a wayward life with a gang of boys. We broke into your shop." He was shocked and asked me if I was alright. 
I told him I was okay. He asked me to sit down and told the salesgirl to give me a bottle of minerals to drinking. He insisted, so I sat down and drank the soft drink and kept the empty bottle on the ground. When he believed I should have regained my senses, he now said, "Young man, calm down and tell me your story." The strange voice tried to frighten me but I became bold and courageous. I said, “Sir, I am here to do my restitution because I don't want to go to hell fire. God demands that I settle my past evil life.” (To be continued) 

Thought for the day: God demands that I settle my past evil life.

Song for the day: I am a new creation

Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 96-98; Romans 12

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...
