REASONS FOR YOUR TESTS AND TRIALS

God bless you for taking your time to study.

REASONS FOR YOUR TESTS AND TRIALS

TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 8:1-8, 16 
SUNDAY OCTOBER 9th

Key verse: Proverbs 8:13 “The LORD fears to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate”
God designed life in such a way that man must live by faith in Him. Your challenges in life are but courses; at the end, you will receive a certificate. The suffering you are experiencing now will come to an end and you will wear a crown. Let nobody make you give up the crown awaiting you. The following are the reasons for your test and trial. God wants “to humble thee”: Pride was the cause of the fall of Satan. He wanted to be like God and desired worship. Herod exalted himself and received praise from men and was smitten by angels, eaten by worms, and died. The reason God will destroy the world is pride: Pride corrupts the wisdom of God in man. God in His love wants to take away pride so that man can be humbled and enter heaven. Humility, therefore, is the wisdom of God for you, pray for it.
God wants “to prove thee”: You must be tested. Both Satan and man will test you. If your husband, wife, friends, or office Boss can make you change your conviction, it means you are not truly converted and the scripture says your strength is small. God wants “to know what is in your heart”: Trials will make a man speak out what is in his heart. The job was tried but he did not lose his righteousness. Never give up your righteousness easily in times of trouble like Job’s wife who spoke out her heart to curse God. Be cautious about what you say when sickness, lack of money, and affliction come your way. God wants to know “Whether thou will keep His commandment or not”: When God allows afflictions, pressure, challenges, and tensions in your life, He wants to know how you will react, whether in obedience or disobedience unto Him. There is no condition under which you must obey God’s commandment, it is at all times. God sees you, not he who causes you to sin. Obedience brings blessing: Abraham believed and obeyed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 

Thought for the day: God’s test and trial are for your promotion. Never give up.
  
Song for the day: I will never let the devil win the battle.

Bible reading for the day: 
Isaiah 41-42; Colossians 1

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...

The Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
