PETER THE LEADING APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST

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

TOPIC: PETER THE LEADING APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST

TEXT: MATTHEW 16: 13-19 

TUESDAY OCTOBER 24TH

Key verse: Acts 2: 14 “But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words.”
Peter and his brother Andrew were the first set of disciples that were called by the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ promised to build His church on the truth of the bold confessions of Peter that Christ is the Son of the living God; the Saviour of the world. Peter said Christ is the Rock and chief Cornerstone; the Stone which the builders disallowed. Peter was always outspoken; he asked the Lord several questions and made vital comments that were helpful in clearing doubts on some contentious issues. 
When the Lord told the disciples to get into the ship and go to the other side and they experienced adversities, the Lord walked on top of the water towards them, Peter requested that he too should do the same and the Lord granted his request. This is to show that the Lord can save you in any situation if only you can ask in faith. Peter rebuked Jesus when He said that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things and be killed. Peter spoke in his limited understanding as a human being not knowing the spiritual benefit of Jesus’ death to humanity but the Lord quickly rebuked Satan because He knew it was from the devil. This situation calls for caution to examine the voices you hear. 
At the mountain of transfiguration, it was the apostle Peter who spoke in amazement about the great vision that was revealed to them. It was also Peter who asked the Lord that they have left all, and followed Him and Jesus said, there is no man that hath left everything for the kingdom of God’s sake, who shall not receive hundredfold now and in the world to come, eternal life. Luke 18: 29-30. This is a strong assurance to all serving God sincerely. Finally, the Lord told Peter to feed His lambs and sheep if he loved Him.  

Thought for the day: Be a leader with an exemplary lifestyle

Song for the day: The Rock that Never Fails, Let Me Hide in You…

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 11-13; 1 Timothy 4

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...
