BASIC FACTS ABOUT PROPHESY

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

TOPIC: BASIC FACTS ABOUT PROPHESY 

TEXT: 1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-22  

FRIDAY DECEMBER 15TH

Key verse: 1 Corinthians 14:3: "But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.”
Let us learn something about prophecy. The Scripture is called, 2 Peter 1:19: "A more sure word of prophecy.” It fulfills the above three characteristics: edification, exhortation, and comfort. The Spirit of God gives prophetic revelations to men. When these are uttered, they equally edify, exhort, and comfort the body of Christ. Through these prophetic revelations, believers are made to see into the mind of God and to receive a correct understanding of some scriptural truths. Through the revelations of hell fire given by the Holy Spirit believers and sinners are warned of the danger of sin and unbelief. Surely, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."Hebrews10:31 
Prophetic revelations of heaven, the reward of righteousness, bring comfort to the believers. The believers are assured of the promises of God and are strengthened in their Christian life and service by the visions of heaven given to some contemporary believers by the Holy Spirit. When the Lord gives such edifying revelations, we are to comfort one another with these words. We should not despise prophesying because it is still one of God's ways of speaking to individual believers, the local church, the body of Christ, and the entire humanity. To despise the revelations given by God is to quench the move of the Holy Spirit in the church and the world. 
When the Lord gives a spiritual revelation concerning an individual, a local church, the body of Christ, or men in general, such should be proved by the truth and teaching of the Scripture. If the Scripture confirms the revelation to be of God, it should be received with thanksgiving and joy. We are commanded to hold fast that which is good. Never speak evil or take any evil step against the revelations of the Holy Spirit. Visions and revelations are still part of the ways God ministers to the edification of the body of Christ and save the souls of lost men in the world.

Thought for the day: Prophetic revelations of heaven bring comfort to true believers.

Song for the day: The last mile of the way

Bible reading for the day: Amos 4-6; Revelation 6

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...
