Cornelius: A Committed But Ignorant Worshipper (1)
Text: Acts 10:1-6 

Wednesday 19th March 

Key Verse: A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway. Acts 10:2
In the scripture above, we understand that Cornelius was a devout, generous, and prayerful man, who feared God with all his house; yet he was ignorant of what he needed to do, to get his name in the Book of Life, and save himself and his family from eternal damnation. Although he was committed to the worship of God, Cornelius' understanding of God's requirement for salvation from sin and eternal life, was very shallow and was based on observance of the Old Testament laws. He was not aware that justification was no more by law but by faith in Jesus Christ.
God saw the sincerity of Cornelius and sent an angel to him to instruct him on what he needed to do, to get right with God. He obeyed and sent for Peter thirty-five miles away, to hear the instruction of life, for the salvation of his soul and that of his household. Had not Cornelius obeyed the revelation message and instruction of divine mercy sent to him, he would have perished with his household despite his alms deed, prayers, fasting, and commitment to God's worship because their worship was on the wrong premises. God can only be appeased through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, which he was ignorant of.
If you do not want to perish, you must seek the total truth of the gospel that will save your soul from condemnation. Go for the total gospel TRUTH, embrace it, live by it, and practice it. Discover the doctrine of salvation, sanctification, baptism with the Holy Spirit, Christian marriage, tithes and offerings, restitution, Christian dressing, holiness, etc. Make necessary changes in your life, in your family, and in your church, if you are a pastor.
Thought For The Day: Justification is no more by law but by faith in Jesus Christ.
Song For The Day: It’s not by might, it’s not by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord

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.

It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
