GOD WANTS US TO ALWAYS DEPEND ON HIM FOR COMFORT

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

TOPIC: GOD WANTS US TO ALWAYS DEPEND ON HIM FOR COMFORT 

TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 1:1-4 

SUNDAY JULY 2ND

Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 10:13 “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it”
God wants to know those who will serve him unconditionally. He is looking for someone to reward or present before Satan as His and that nothing will take him away from Him. The person who will eventually be with Him must not easily be shaken. The job was tried and rewarded. Daniel and the three Hebrews children were also tried and rewarded. Jesus in the flesh was tried and was exalted, given a name that is above every other name, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven; and Stephen was tried and rewarded with heaven. In their temptations, they depended on God. 
God wants to make us depend on Him as our comforter. To be a comforter is to stand beside a person encouraging and helping him in times of trouble. He allows little troubles in our lives to achieve the followings: To teach us lessons so we will be able to comfort others. 2 Corinthians 1:1-4. To enable us to share with Christ His suffering on the cross without complain: Christian life includes suffering, exemplified by the life of Paul the apostle who went through much suffering and testified the same to the people of Rome: Roman 8:35-39. To learn to depend on Jesus in every circumstance 2 Corinthians 7:5-7, 10. To understand that our suffering is not always the result of our sins but often the result of Satan’s work and the world’s opposition to Jesus and His followers. 
It is the test to know those who will endure or qualify to be taken to be with Him in heaven. It also provides privileges for testimonies of the power and works of Jesus Christ. Apostle Paul’s encounter with the Lord and suffering is a good example of the power and works of God Acts 26:18. 

Thought for the day: In every circumstance, depend on God our comforter

Song for the day: Dependable God, dependable God (2x) …

Bible reading for the day: Job 23-25; Acts 10:24-48

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...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will.

Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
