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

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
