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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
