God's blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: DO NOT TURN PEOPLE’S FAITH FROM JESUS TO ANOINTING OIL

TEXT: PSALM 89: 19-24 

SUNDAY JULY 16TH

Key verse: Psalm 89: 20 “I have found David My servant; with My holy oil have I anointed him:”
In the ministry of Jesus. we do not see Jesus using anointing oil on anybody. When He sent out His disciples, did He give them bottles of anointing oil? No. There was no record. But the disciples when the Bible says in Mark 6:12, I think that they anointed people with oil, which means it was in common possession. They could have gotten this oil from the houses of those people as first aid. “Anointed some people with oil and healed them” What did they heal them with? Is it oil or the Name of Jesus? They healed them with the name of Jesus. 
Now James, in the book of the Acts of Apostles with the diverse healings and miracles that took place there; did you hear of the account of oil there? No. Now come to the ministry of Paul the apostles which the Lord raised up, the Lord blessed and anointed, did we hear Paul talk about anointing oil? No. It was mentioned once in James, “Is anyone sick among you, let him do what? Let him go and meet the elders. Is that what the Bible says? Let him call for the elders, which means your case is heavy, else you should have gone to them but you are now to call for the elders. You call because even in Jesus’ time there were issues that they called Him to their houses which means they were heavy issues.
There were heavy issues that they called Him to the house; otherwise, the sick ones were brought to Him. “My daughter is even now dead” “My servant is lying at home grievously tormented; can you come and heal him?” Jesus visited those houses. So, if anyone is sick, let him call the elders. It is not for common ailments. Let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord and the prayer of faith shall save the sick and the Lord shall raise him up and if he has committed sin, it shall be forgiven him. That rubbing as we suppose, is a communication of love to the sick as the hand of a lover. How do you see the hand of the doctor on your body? When the doctor touches the affected parts, you feel reassured. 

Thought for the day: Communication of love seems to strengthen faith of the sick.

Song for the day: He touched me, O Jesus touched me…

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 19-21; Acts 19:21-41

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...
