FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR

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

TOPIC: FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR 

TEXT: HEBREWS 11: 1-6 

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 26TH

Key verse: Hebrews 11: 1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen.”
Question: If you have been hoping for something and you testify by faith that the Lord has done it, is it wrong?
Answer: If you receive assurance from the Holy Spirit, you can share it; although I have not got it but it is done already. Let your audience understand your speech; that you have got it in your spirit so that when it manifests, they will understand. Tell them God has assured you and that you know it is done so that you can testify again when it materializes. You will then say, I told you; look at it now. The people will understand your testimony. Otherwise, if you say, I have got it already and later tell the people I have got it now, they may be wondering if you got it twice. They may not understand your testimony. I have got it by faith, and I am sure it is done so that when the substance comes, I will testify of the substance of my faith.
Question: Is it right to use a laptop or phone on the pulpit instead of the bible?
Answer: Every preacher should study his environment. There is an environment where you can do that and nobody will be offended but there is an environment where the people will be offended at you and you have done the wrong thing. Of itself, it is not sinful but if you come to a congregation of ignorant people who don’t know that there is no sin there, you may be pricking their conscience; making them commit sin. When you are not walking in wisdom and understanding, you sin. However, when you go to a congregation where the people are more enlightened, they may ask about the application software you are using and how to get it. They will not feel that you are committing sin. We need to understand this because whether you like it or not, in a few years, Bibles may be replaced by softcopies due to technological advancement. You may not easily find hard copies of the Bible. For instance, DVDs and CDs have replaced the old radio cassettes which were in use.

Thought for the day: When you do not walk in wisdom and understanding, you sin. 

Song for the day: The last mile of the way

Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 7-9; Galatians 4

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...
