Samson Killed A Lion With His Hands 

Thursday May 9th 

Text: Judges 14: 5 - 6

Key verse: Psalm 74:5 “A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.”
A lion roared at Samson but he was not afraid. As the lion rushed at him, the Holy Spirit came upon Samson. He got hold of the lion and tore it. It is the prerogative of God; the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Samson must not meet another lion and say, “I killed a lion with my bare hands so I will handle this one with my bare hands.” Do not try it. Did the Holy Spirit come on you? Did you receive inspiration from the Holy Spirit? Why are you presumptuous? Why do you imagine great things to your hurt because of your pride? The miracle happened by the Spirit of God.
A story was told of an elderly woman that when a vehicle knocked down her grandchild, she rushed to the vehicle, lifted it up and removed her child. Everybody was surprised. Mama, are you a powerful woman? I am a normal woman. But how did you do this? How many people can lift up a vehicle the way you did? I cannot tell. Definitely God wanted to save that child and since God can do everything, He put the power in that woman. With great passion, she rushed without even thinking, lifted up the vehicle and brought out the child. Now, if you say that she is a mighty woman, tell her to lift up another vehicle. Can she do it? No! So, do not be presumptuous by thinking that you can perform miracles. There must be humility. 
Note that there were sick people that Jesus did not talk about? He was not moved to heal them. At the pool of Bethsaida, He healed only one person and left. What about the lame man that was laid daily at the gate in the temple? Did Jesus not pass there several times? You must leave some things until God says so. It is not in you. That is why Joseph told the pharaoh, “It is not in me. God will give a pharaoh interpretation for his dream.” The fact that I interpreted dreams for your two servants does not mean I have the power to interpret every dream. It is God that gave me the interpretation.

Thought for the day: You must leave some things until God says so. 

Song for the day: In Jesus name, every knee shall bow …

Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 5-7

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...
