Jesus Christ Commissioned Paul the Apostle        

Friday June 14th

Text: Acts 9: 11 - 16
Key verse: 2 Timothy 1:1 “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus.”
Why does your preaching lack the word; lack the wisdom, application and authority of the word? That is why you cannot point to a true preacher, true converts, true mentees or people you have mentored. The members of your church will behave as you do. It takes a pastor after God's heart who is called and trained by God Himself to make others righteous, holy and true according to the will of God. It is God that gives those pastors ability to teach the holy word of truth and unite true believers in the church into one body. When Jesus quoted the word, Satan gave up. Use the word not your philosophy. Paul said I am among you as one that knows nothing except Jesus and Him crucified. Be immersed in Christ and in His word. God called Paul and gave him grace to build the church, a ministry of truth and holiness.
God gave Paul grace to the Gentiles, who were majority in the church. God gave him a calling to face the Gentiles with the mystery of truth and the life of holiness it produces. Paul said, God came to him by revelation. Let us be very careful because many people want to fight against revelation. They want to render revelation irrelevant. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today and forever. He speaks by revelation. We are witnesses to this. So, revelation is still there. It is still working 
The apostles recognized the hand of God in the life of Paul just as the sons of the prophets recognized the power and spirit of Elijah in the life of Elisha and bowed to him. The apostles recognized the hand of the Lord upon the ministry of Paul, so much so that Peter said. “I read all the epistles of Paul and I saw that you will need grace to understand his writings. It even requires a maturity to understand.” (Paraphrased) That is what Peter said of Paul. Paul also was so confident of himself that he said God had given the ministry of reconciliation to him. 

Thought for the day: The apostles recognized the hand of God in the life of Paul  

Song for the day: Paul and Silas, they prayed, they sang, the Holy Ghost came down

Bible reading for the day: Psalms 50-55

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 ...
