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
Bible Reading For The Day: Judges 17-19

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...
