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.

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...

PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit.
