TOPIC: GOING TO HEAVEN IS NOT ON THE BASIS OF FAMILY BUT INDIVIDUALS 

TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 30:15-20 
15. And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day. 
16. And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee; 
17. Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise. 
18. It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.
19. All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
20. Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and Thy household. 

KEY VERSE: EZEKIEL18:4 “Behold all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die” 

Central to the Christian life is Individualism. Going to heaven is not on the basis of family, nation or tribe but as an individual. We see many areas of the scriptures pointing to the right of an individual. The scripture says “the soul that sinned it shall die”-Individualism.

Jesus said “And if I go and prepare a place, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, ye may be there also”. This also involves individual’s choice. 

Believers are expected to see themselves as an entity running a race to achieve a goal, heaven. If they see themselves on the basis of individualism, many things will be avoided. For instance, a family member will not stage a protest against church leadership on why should his or her relation be accused of witchcraft or of embezzlement? Or consent to any member of the family or tribe that is on discipline to leave a holy ministry like Holiness Revival Movement.

God called people individually. When one received the Lord Jesus Christ as His Lord and personal savior, he must care for his or her soul because he or she is called alone and will either go to heaven or hell alone. Let nothing be allowed to stern your garment as a child of God, so intelligently exercise the right of choice in matters of your salvation. If you get lost, you will be alone. 

We shall stand before God individually. Employ the Berea Christians principle in your Christian life. Subject every church, mister and ministry to scriptural judgment to know whether you see the presence of God, the holiness of God in them and the seriousness of the teaching that can qualify you to enter heaven. 

If you noticed sin in them such as any form of immorality, Lesbianism, Homosexuality, lying, worldliness in attire, bleaching, attachment etc, know that you are lost and need to intelligently exercise your right of choice on where best to serve God and go to heaven.

Thought for the day: You are called alone, if you get lost, you are doomed alone.

Song for the day: I will see Jesus, someday, sometime, in the sky.

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 6-8

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 ...
