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

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...
