FORGIVEN AND FREED BY THE SON OF GOD

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: FORGIVEN AND FREED BY THE SON OF GOD

TEXT: JOHN 8: 7-11 

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 3rd

KEY VERSE: John 8:36 If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed
Continuation of Brother Overcomer’s testimonies: The shop owner called his friend and when the friend heard my confession he advised him to take me to the police station. When we got there, they referred us to the Anti-robbery squad. A strange voice said, “See what you have done to yourself. These people will hang you.” I replied, 'They should hang me on earth and I escape hell fire.' They shouted at me to come forward. I carried my Bible and walked toward them. A calm voice spoke within me, “Fear not.” One policeman was interrogating me, another was writing, and another was videoing me with his phone while their leader observed me. After some time, their leader asked them to hold on and he ordered me to narrate my story afresh.
I said, "Sir, some time ago as a sinner I moved with bad boys and did evil things. I joined them in breaking into this man's shop. We stole many things and sold them and shared the money which I used to smoke, drink and womanize. Now I have come to confess my sin because God has shown me mercy and forgiven me but says I must confess my past life, if not I will go to hell fire when I die.” All the policemen became silent. The friend of the shop owner tried to counter my words but the officer asked them, "Do you know this young man before? Did you see him breaking into your shop? If he had not come on his own to meet you would you have known about this?" They answered, "No." 
The officer became angry with them and said, "I am not sure you are okay. Somebody came and confessed an evil he did long ago to you. Instead of you forgiving him and allowing him to continue with the preaching of the gospel, you brought him to the police. Are you okay? Does this look like a police matter to you? Young man, you are free. Carry your bible and continue preaching the gospel.” I felt a cool sensation as a sweet voice told me, “You see, I told you not to fear.” I walked out of the police station and began to praise and worship God.

Thought for the day: Carry your bible, go and continue preaching the gospel 

Song for the day: I never knew that You will honor me this way…

Bible reading for the day:
Proverbs 3,4 1 Corinthians 13

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...
