REASON FOR OUR CONFIDENCE

God bless you for taking the time to study

TOPIC: REASON FOR OUR CONFIDENCE 
TEXT: 1 John 5:13-15 

TUESDAY FEBRUARY 28th 

Key verse: “And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us;” 1 John 5: 14 
Why are we confident? It is because of the following reasons among others: 
(1). The Testimonies of the Bible. God answered the prayers of Bible saints.  That gives us confidence today that He will answer our prayers too. 
Psalm 65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee shall all flesh come. 
(2). The Historical Testimonies. These refer to the testimonies that we have heard from the history of Christianity up to our time. We have heard how God intervened in people’s lives and families; how God answered prayers over the Church, societies, and nations. That gives us the confidence that God will answer our prayers too. 
(3). Contemporary Testimonies. These refer to testimonies of our fellow brothers and sisters - the ones we are witnesses to. They testify to our hearing that God answers their prayers. This assures us that God will answer our prayers too.
 (4). Our Past Testimonies. Even we have testimonies of answered prayers. In the hard circumstances of our lives, during the difficult situations, we passed through; we prayed, we called upon God and the Lord answered. That assures us for present requests will be similar attention from God. 
Psalm 34:4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears. 

Thought for the day: The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

Song for the day: Forever O Lord, Thy word is settled in heaven…

Bible reading for the day: Numbers 21-25; Mark 7:14-37; Mark 8:1-21

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...
