No Man Taketh This Honor Unto Himself  

Friday, February 16th

Text: Hebrews 5:4-6 

Key verse: Hebrews 5: 4 And no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
No matter how a man shines under you, know that he will not take over because you were chosen by the living God. He knows your weaknesses and as long as you come faithfully to Him and plead for grace, you will have it. There is more to ministry than gifts, charisma, and intelligent preaching. Aaron was a vocalist but there was more to leadership to bring people from Egypt than being vocal. So, please trust in God who has chosen you. Do not strive because your portion will always be there in the Lord. When a couple has given birth to a child and the child is eating food, why worry about another child coming, provided they can cater for them because it is their responsibility? Do not allow envy and jealousy to spoil the work of God, to make the leader envy others, mistreat them, and send them away because of fear that they will take over. The choice to ministry is of God; no man taketh it unto himself.
Christ never took this honor to Himself, but it was a pronouncement of God the Father: He chose Christ; “You will be a high priest before Me, I have accepted You, I have chosen You. I have appointed You today.” So, if you know this why do you envy your brother whom the Lord has chosen as though he chose himself? Why do you not accept his work? Are you against the Creator for making that choice? Therefore, do not envy a person the Lord has chosen. It is of God; it is the way He does it. The Jews were damned because they envied Jesus and refused to follow Him. Do not damn yourself because you refuse to believe, accept or follow someone the Lord has chosen. Note that he who desires to serve God as a minister must work on himself so he may qualify to be chosen, appointed, and recognized by God. Sometimes God uses men to select you; it may even be by voting. If you are born again and righteous, see it that God got at you for Himself. If you desire to work for God acceptably, then qualify yourself by righteousness.  

Thought for the day: Do not envy a person the Lord has chosen

Song for the day: I surrender all

Bible reading for the day: Numbers 22-24

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...
