GOD HAS NOT SOLD HIS CHILDREN TO ANY MINISTER

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: GOD HAS NOT SOLD HIS CHILDREN TO ANY MINISTER

TEXT: 1 PETER 5:1-3 

WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 28th 

KEY VERSE: Ephesians 6:9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
Today’s lesson is a revelation to Sister Linda Paul Rika on holiness preachers: A pastor that attended the conference was a stern holiness minister. His servant remained standing by him. Jesus told him, “You put on a hard face and are not cheerful because you want people to fear you. This is not Christianity! The scripture says to rejoice always in the Lord. The fruit of the Spirit is joy. Your attending minister has been standing in fear of you. You have not allowed him to sit down. You have made yourself the subject of ministry, not the Lord. You teach your members this way and you are their fear, not God. 
With this attitude, it is not easy for Me to use your members. They are more loyal to you than to Me since they would want Me to take permission from you before using them. Since they do not associate with people, they are not lights to them. They are not known in society. They cannot win souls for Me because of fear. They are in your cage. Your pastor is still standing when others have sat down. My presence could not still set him free from you. My will is that you should be fruitful and multiply but this attitude has limited growth and spread of holiness.”
The Lord said, “When I came into the world, did I keep Myself away from men? I mingled with them to know them and save them.” The Lord turned to the attending pastor and said, “I see you standing by this man to prove your faithfulness to him even when others have taken their seats. You are doing this out of slavish fear of your leader. This does not attract My rewards. In your heart, you wish to sit down as others. You know your master's attitude is not godly, but you decided to do what will please him. You are giving him this undue respect even in My presence, showing you value him above the truth. I have not sold you to him as a slave.”

Thought for the day: Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men

Song for the day: We are heirs of the Father…

Bible reading for the day: Zechariah 7-9; Revelation 19

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...
