Be Zealous For The Work Of God      

Wednesday May 15th

Text: Nehemiah 2: 9 - 18

Key verse: Romans 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.
I was blessed by the story of a woman in Jos that joined HOREMOW and was serving God with much zeal. The husband said, “You must leave HOREMOW or our marriage will stop. I will divorce you in the court.” She said, “Praise Jesus! I have been looking for time to preach this gospel from place to place but I am arrested here. Did you say you will take me to court? Praise the Lord. Go and do it. Hey! What good news! That I shall be free to preach the gospel from place to place. I will fly from Jos to Lagos. Next week I will be in Sokoto. Then I shall travel to Benin Republic. I will go to preach in London and I shall see Israel with my eyes. I will go to America and stir revival there. Praise the Lord!” After a period of time, she reminded him to hasten the divorce letter but the husband replied, “Please, leave me alone.” That was the end of the divorce threat from her husband.
When Nehemiah got the burden, he went to prayer. God, it is true. We really sinned. We disobeyed you that is why these things happened. Jerusalem lieth waste. The people are in great distress and reproach. It is our sin. The gate of the city is burnt down. It is our sin Lord. We are sorry. We have sinned but God I must rectify these things. I must bring revival to the people. I must recover this people in righteousness and holiness. I must bring this people back to you. So, God grant me favour before the king. Let the vision of my heart be worked out by you and the good hand of the Lord was released upon him. 
Nehemiah had come. Burden, vision and action! He came to survey the place to understand properly the situation. He went round to consider the city; the heart was on fire. He saw the reproach indeed. As he was going he was also seeing the situation of the people. His heart burnt within him. This thing must be done. This principle obtains even among the sinners: Vision, Burden, Action! 

Thought for the day: When Nehemiah got the burden, he went to prayer. Do likewise.

Song for the day: We are able to go up and take the country …

Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 29-31

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...
