SALVATION CAN BE LOST

God bless you for taking the time to study. 

SALVATION CAN BE LOST 

MONDAY FEBRUARY 13th

TEXT: MATTHEW 14:22-33

Key verse: John 1:12 “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name”
Many churches teach that once someone is saved, he is saved for ever even if he sins, he would go to heaven. This is false doctrine and it encourages believers to sin. The case of Peter in today’s text illustrates how he got an experience, lost it and was helped by Jesus to regain it. The Lord responded to Peter’s request and bid him to come and walk with Him on the water but when Peter saw the boisterous wind, he feared and began to sink until Jesus stretched forth His hand, caught him and rescued him. This means that salvation brings you to Jesus but when temptation comes, you must call on Him to lift you up. Never claim once saved is forever saved, for there is no born-again sinner. With Jesus you will walk victoriously over sin. Learn this from Peter:  He desired it and requested to come and walk with Jesus on water. Do you desire salvation? Many do not. What effort have you made to stop sinning? Have faith in Jesus and a power will come to transform you from sin. Jesus will give you supernatural power for a new life.
Fear and doubt removed the power that made Peter walked on water. If you are born-again but stopped and went into lesbianism, masturbation, stealing, lying or any form of sin, yet claim born-again, check yourself, for there is no heaven for sinners. Jesus didn’t change His mind over Peter. He was not the cause of Peter’s fall. He was still standing there. The word of God did not change either. It is forever settled. Peter removed his eyes from Jesus and focused on the boisterous wind which had been there before. The reason for your sin is that your heart is removed from Jesus and His power. You have disconnected yourself from the source of power to walk on top of sin. Don’t mention somebody else’s name because you are responsible. Faith dies when the work of faith is removed. Keep the word of God and don’t draw back, for God does not have pleasures on them that draw back. Whatever your situation, cry out and Jesus will save you.

Thought for the day: Do not sin as a believer, for there is no heaven for sinners. 

Song for the day: Mercy O Lord (4x) Father show me Your mercy

Bible reading for the day: Leviticus 15-17; Matthew 27:1-31

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...
