God Gave Me Success After Many Trials (2) 

Friday January 12th

Text: Psalm 67:1-7
Key verse: Psalm 147:12 “Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.”
I gave myself to prayers and diligent studies. I even gave a seed offering to boost my faith. My parents, friends, and unit members were all praying for me. One day, a neighbor said, “My dear, don’t worry, you are going to celebrate very soon.” It was strange to me since he was not a Christian and only knew that I go to church. I asked him, “Celebrate what?” He replied, “Don't worry, you shall celebrate very soon for what you are waiting upon God for. It seems you also have the spirit of anger. Do away with it. Everything will be okay.” I thanked him and we parted. I told my mother about the incident and we continued praying and trusting God because I actually had doubts at that time whether it would come to pass or not. 
When the exams began, the students and invigilators were deep into exam malpractices; they shared the answers along with the question papers for them to copy. I determined as before never to cheat. God used my uncle, who was a teacher there to always bring the question paper to me immediately after the exam started so that I would have time to write before they collected the papers. On the day of mathematics, I was given the objective paper but I had not even solved half of the questions when the invigilator came to collect my papers because he wanted to leave. I pleaded but he became angry and asked my uncle to give me the answer sheet to copy from. 
The answers were placed right in front of me so that I could see very well to copy but I cried to God in my heart and removed my eyes from the paper and started ticking anything on my answer sheet until I got to the end. Then I submitted my papers. After the exams, a friend came to my house to tell me that in a dream, she saw people celebrating me and that I should not relent in the faith. My mother and I also had dreams to confirm that I had passed. When the results were released, God proved Himself faithful and I credited mathematics. We had a celebration that day. 

Thought for the day: God is faithful; yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever.

Song for the day: I never knew that You will honour me this way, my God …

Bible reading for the day: Genesis 39-41

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
