God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study.

The Fruits Of Physical Work        

Friday June 7th

Text: 2 Thessalonians 3: 7 - 12
Key verse: 2 Thessalonians 3: 10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
The fruit of physical work can be seen in a true and holy minister. Paul worked with his own hands to cater for his needs and others with him. He said, “We work with our hands as examples of righteousness to you; the food we eat, the things we purchase. A true and faithful minister engages in various profitable works. If he works in an office, he does not embezzle money, withhold the salary of his workers or under pay them because he wants more money for himself or else you go about preaching and making money through telling lies; testimony of lies. Some preachers tell all kinds of lies to build great cathedrals; the blocks of that building are waiting for you on the day of judgment because you brought it there without righteousness. The beams and pillars of that house are waiting for you in the day of Judgment because you brought them there by lies. You got the money by lies and treachery. You trade on the souls of men as you go about selling anointing oil, handkerchiefs, apron, holy water, deceiving them of miracles at the expense of eternal life.
The projects of a true and faithful minister are godly and commendable including even the clothes and shoes he wears, the house he builds and any other endeavor he undertakes. He gets money in righteousness and holiness. Every tree brings forth fruits after its kind. He does not entangle himself in fake or deceitful ventures for gain because he wants to build a church. Some ministers send people to the garage and filling stations for fund raising, asking people to contribute including the armed robbers who just finished from their duty and came to refill their vehicles; they should drop money to build a church of God. Corrupt work coming from these corrupt preachers. They do not know the holiness of God. Is God so poor that He is asking Satan to give Him money? Why do you go to people whose life you do not know? John said that they did not collect money from sinners for the cause of Christ.

Thought for the day: Physical fruits can be seen in a true and holy minister.

Song for the day: I have chosen the way …

Bible reading for the day: Psalms 9-17

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...
