God Has Re-Written My Story From Zero To Hero (1) 

Text:  Hebrews 10: 30 – 34                                                    

Wednesday June 5th

Key verse: Galatians 6: 9 “And let us not be weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
My name is Paul Nathaniel. In 2019, I was a chapter leader in Garki zone, laboring with all my strength and zeal yet I was facing severe trials and persecutions. My determination to serve God remained intact but the devil attacked me until I fell into self-pity, despondency and depression. Satan brought various thoughts to me; “You are working hard under this ministry as a chapter leader but you cannot afford a meal for a whole day; you do not even have sachet water to drink. Check your room if there is any sachet of drinking water.” I looked around and there was neither food nor drinking water. In fact, at times I had no money even to buy a gallon of water to take my bath for some days. The devil made me believe that my struggle to please God was in vain because it was obvious that the Righteous Man has abandoned me. I felt miserable and devastated. He then made it clear to me that the best option available to me was to commit suicide and end the suffering and shame.
At first, I resisted the thought of suicide because of fear of hell fire but a powerful thought pressed on me that I should take the poison bit by bit so that I would die slowly while pleading for pardon and mercy. So that even before my death, the Righteous Man would have forgiven me and would grant me entrance to heaven. I felt relieved and said, “Yes, you are right.” I did not know that I was conversing with the devil. Next, I thought, ‘Which poison do I use? How do I get it? When do I take it?’ The devil put a thought in my mind that I should buy 'Sniper' from the nearby trader and drink it slowly. I accepted the idea and went to buy the poison but my money was not enough to buy even one. The trader asked, “Pastor, what do you need Sniper for?” I told him not to bother. Since my money was not enough, I went back to my room disappointed. That was how God delivered me from committing suicide. 

Thought for the day: May God’s mercy locate you now and always

Song for the day: The steadfastness of the Lord never ceaseth, His mercies …

Bible reading for the day: Job 39-42

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
