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

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...
