TOPIC: SUPPORTERS OF JESUS’ MINISTRY 

TEXT: 1 JOHN 1:1-2
1. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
2. (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 

KEY VERSE: JOHN 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. 

When Jesus was physically on earth in His mission of giving life to the men of the world, there were men and women that supported His course with their money and material resources. Although He came from Heaven to do the Will of God among men and had the full backing of God, the Father did not pour down money and material support literally from Heaven for Him to use. 

God used men and women on earth to partake in the ministry of distributing abundant life to humanity. Considering the support of Mary Magdalene and other women in Luke 8:1-3; these women were sinners who suffered much from the hand of Satan. 

Through faith in Jesus Christ, they were saved from their sins and were delivered from the power of darkness. Hence, they released their money and material resources to support the Ministry of Jesus. 

The lad with the five loaves and two fishes in John 6:5, 8-14. This lad had what was required and for the love of Christ willingly released them. What a great privilege it is to singularly sponsor a Christ-honoring program or project as this lad did. 

Mary and Martha in John 12:1-8, joyfully accommodated and fed Jesus and His disciples whenever he was in Bethany. The above passage showed how Mary ‘wasted’ great sum of money on Jesus as lamented by Judas Iscariot. On who could she had spent her best possession on if not her Savior Christ? 

Joseph of Aremathaea and Nicodemus in Matthew 27:57-60. These believers identified with the course of Christ publicly by making the best use of their human greatness and wealth In Luke 10:1-7, 

Christ disciples were also supported by men when He sent them out to without giving them anything. Christ expects those who labor for human salvation to receive the support of good-hearted recipients. Learn to support the true ministers of the gospel because they need to eat, drink and be clothed 

Thought for the day: ...I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10(b)

Song for the day: Na so so wonder Jesus dey do…..

Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 60-63

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
