Ye Are My Friends If Ye Do Whatsoever I Command You

Text: Jeremiah 2:  I – 9      
Thursday February 1st

Key verse: John 15: 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 
Jesus said I call you not servants but I call you friends. A servant does not know all the master doeth but a man is ready to open the whole of his heart to a friend. It means some are in the level of servants; you may not be trusted with weighty things. You may not be trusted with the words of the Lord in confidentiality. I call you not friends but I call you servants because a servant knoweth not all his master doeth. But he came to some people and said, “I call you friends.” I have proved you. Can you see the levels of relationship! All the while, they were not friends but servants. It took time to become friends after He had checked on them; He tested them, weighed them and saw their stability. He now called them friends. So, man has disappointed the Lord so much. 
Israel was holiness to the Lord. The Lord told them if you will remain with Me and obey My word, you will be unto Me a kingdom of priest and a holy nation. The people agreed to obey God and keep His word but did not continue. Now it has become a thing of the past. God is lamenting about the nature of man. “I remember the days of your youth and the period of your espousal when I espoused to you and you were also espoused to Me. When you went after Me in the wilderness, in the land that was not sown. You were submissive to Me.” Israel was holiness unto the Lord and the Lord released Himself to protect Israel but Israel did not continue. Israel have turned away from holiness. The Lord is asking, “Am I responsible for the change in your life? Is the fault with Me for the change in your attitude towards Me? What iniquity have I done?”  Now check on that person. You have watched me over that person’s life. What iniquity do you see in me that that person is turning away? He is accusing seriously and abusing; promising to have nothing to do with me. He has turned away. You have been with me. What iniquity have you really seen in me? It is the nature of man. Stability is the problem of man. Jesus knows what is in man. 

Thought for the day: Man has disappointed the Lord so much. 

Song for the day: What a Friend we have in Jesus

Bible reading for the day: Leviticus 14-15

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...
