The Choice To Ministry Is Of God      

Tuesday, February 6th

Text: Mark 3:13-14
Key verse: John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
The Lord Jesus Christ chose His disciples out of many people. His personal heart was involved in the choice. It was a thoughtful choice with consideration. The word, ‘ordained’ is still the same as the word, ‘choice.’ He chose twelve to be with Him. It is important for the ministers who are truly of God to know that it is the choice of God that arrived at them, or else there will be insecurity which will cause numerous sins, carnality, and loss heaven. God chose Saul the son of Kish to be king in Israel. David reigned 40 years, Solomon reigned 40 years and Saul also reigned 40 years. God had His own full plan for the Saul but when he saw David coming up, he became envious of David and an evil spirit of the Lord entered into him; he became vulnerable to Satan and lost out because he had no confidence in God.
If you lose confidence in God’s choice, envy, and jealousy will come in against others; you will think they are coming to take over. If somebody comes with a great or beautiful gift, instead of harnessing it or incorporating him to bless your kingdom or ministry, you would envy him saying, ‘Now, he will take over.’ When the women sang, ‘Saul has killed a thousand and David ten thousand’, Saul said, “What else but that he would take over the kingdom.” God did not make a mistake when He chose Saul. He knew that he would fail in the future so He made provision. If you can learn to be confident and to trust in this God of choice. Saul was rejected when this envy became too much of him. Saul was rejected when he became carnal and lost out before God but God still allowed him to stay on the throne for forty years. Saul completed the terms of service; the time given for service. He could have completed it in righteousness and holiness but envy troubled him. He completed it miserably as a failure because he kept thinking that David was going to harm or depose him. 

Thought for the day: Learn to be confident and to trust in this God of choice 

Song for the day: I believe, Yes Lord, I believe, it is well with me

Bible reading for the day: Leviticus 26-27

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
