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

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...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
