The Fruits Of The Lips Of A True And Holy Minister        

Tuesday, February 13th

Text: Colossians 4: 5 - 6
Key verse: Hebrews 13:15 By him, therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
The words that come out of him; the words that he speaks, are clean words. ‘He that loves pureness of heart for the fruits of his lips the king shall be his friend.’ When you speak, they see pureness of heart and holiness of life in you. The person that you are relating with will see holiness in you. ‘Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven. These are fruits that show that you are true and holy. Your words are true and can be verified; in ten years to come they will not change. Do not say something in the morning and something else by afternoon… “I did not say so. You did not hear me well.” 
The words that come out of your mouth should have grace. Do not speak words that tear people apart. Do not threaten your members that you will deal with them. The Bible says forbear threatening. Do not speak like that. It does not mean you will not give a warning; of course, there is warning. ‘Stop that because if you keep doing that it will give you a problem.’ That is a sound warning devoid of carnal threatening. You are required to give warning but when you speak in the flesh, “I will deal with you, I will show you,” that is the flesh at work. Jesus warned about hell but He did not threaten people. As a godly minister, carefully choose acceptable words before you speak to show the type of man or woman you are. 
What should come out of our lips? Praises, thanksgiving and worship of the living God. Speak edifying words during conversations; even appreciative words for one another … “Oh brother or sister, you have done well. Thank God for using you." These are fruits, the words of our lips. This is how you should live your life as a minister because you have learned it from a true and holy ministry. Go and be a true and holy minister producing fruits to confirm your state. 

Thought for the day: Carefully choose acceptable words before you speak. 

Song for the day: Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord to Thee

Bible reading for the day: Numbers 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...
