LOSS OF FIRST LOVE FOR GOD

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

TOPIC: LOSS OF FIRST LOVE FOR GOD 
TEXT: REVELATION 2: 1-7 

SUNDAY DECEMBER 3RD

Key verse: Revelation 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 
Now, to love God totally is the only acceptable way. It is the only acceptable way because He brought you for Himself, He wants you for Himself and He gave you an assignment. God will look at you and wonder, “You mean, I gave you an assignment and you say money took you away? I mean I, the God of your life, the One that breathed into your nostrils, I gave you an assignment in My church, you failed and you are giving me an excuse? You are giving me a reason.” You have no reason. God expects perfect obedience, perfect commitment, and wholesome surrender to Him and His ways. He expects complete observance of all His ways. No reason, No! Not at all. Wholesome obedience to God's word and love for Him must be kept steady in all our lives.
As you rejoiced at the time you got born again, as you yielded everything at that time and served Him wholeheartedly, so should it remain in the same spirit every day, every year of your life until He calls you from this work, from this world, for that was the life of Jesus. Can you ever tell me when Paul lost his zeal for God? Can you remember any time when Paul lost his zeal for God? Not once! That should also be our life, our pattern, our ways, and our commitment every day. 
Deuteronomy 5: 29 O that there was such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children forever. O that they were wise; that is God speaking. O that you were wise in heart; that you have such a heart in you. O that there was such a heart in them, O that there was such a resolution in them, that they would fear me and keep all my laws. The world is hard and full of temptations but keep all my commands, O that they would keep all my commandments always. That is the word. There would have been no failure there, but you relaxed, joined politics, and began to do other things. Even when you knew clearly this was darkness, you were still following. You have failed it. 

Thought for the day: To love God totally is the only acceptable way to serve Him.

Song for the day: O how I love Jesus (3x), because He first loved me

Bible reading for the day: Daniel 1-2; 1 John 2

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...
