REMOVE SLANDERERS FROM THE HOUSE OF GOD

God bless you for taking the time to study.

REMOVE SLANDERERS FROM THE HOUSE OF GOD
TEXT: 2 Samuel 16:1-4 

SATURDAY MAY 27th 

Key Verse: Psalm 101:5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off,
Slanderers do not carry the message of love but of resentment. They are destroyers and not builders. Their aim is self-promotion and self-protection. When Ziba came to David in the wilderness as he fled from Absalom, to get David’s favour, he came with a slander against Mephibosheth. King David asked him of Mephibosheth his master, he said Mephibosheth was busy preparing himself in Jerusalem to be king saying, “Now the Lord shall restore to me the kingdom of my father that was snatched away from the hand of Saul.” David wondered why a lame man he has shown mercy should act this way knowing he saved him from death because of the covenant he made with Jonathan his father. With all he has done for Mephibosheth, why should he seek his hurt? He gave Ziba the vineyard he once restored to Mephibosheth. See what a slander can do! You can understand why David vouched to cut off slanderers from his domain. 
When David returned to Jerusalem, Mephibosheth came to David looking unkempt from his head to his feet. David wondered if this was the man Ziba said was preparing to take over the kingdom. Mephibosheth’s defense showed Ziba his servant slandered him. “He that is a slanderer, I will cut off!” This is the resolution of a godly leader. Their aim is to destroy the throne with their tongue. If you depend on their evil report, you will oppress the innocent under your government. They look so true that if you are not careful, they may not require further investigation. Un-investigated actions on lies or slanders have made many people cry against their leaders to God for maltreatment on matters they are not aware of. That is why the Bible emphasizes that matters should only be established where there are two or three witnesses. The Bible says also that it is not according to the law of the Romans to condemn a man until he has the opportunity to speak face to face with his accusers, Acts 25:16. 

Thought for the day Get rid of slanderers from the house of God

Song for the day Satan shall never, never conquer me (3x) …

Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 20-22; John 10:22-42

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 Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
