Do Not Cover Your Sin; Expose It 

Tuesday 20th May

Text:  Joshua 7:19-21
Key verse: He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. Proverbs 28:13.  
It is wrong to cover your sin purposely. To smile outwardly, while your heart is heavy inside; you cannot prosper that way. Someone told the story of a maid committing immorality with the man of God she worked for. This man of God eventually sought counsel. The person he sought counsel from asked him to preach against the sin of adultery as a way to be free from it. He did so, preaching openly on the pulpit, but sadly, continued in the immorality with the lady. His problem was not solved, because after confessing his sin, he did not proceed to forsake it. Sin should not just be confessed; it should be confessed and forsaken. Do not just confess sin; confess and forsake it, so that you will not be tempted to return to it. As you confess it, stop it and do not go to it anymore.  The reason you confess sin is to stop it, not to exhibit pride. You do not confess to others out of revenge. You confess out of guilt and condemnation, to become righteous so that it does not happen again. 
If you commit immorality with someone in secret, do you know that the person rejoices, because they have been able to strip you of the glory of God? Such persons share their experiences with others to feel good. So, it would be best to confess what you have done, so that as the truth spreads, you can say you are free. Go tell the woman you slept with that you have repented. Tell that man that you have repented, so that he would feel ashamed and know that when you sinned, you were at your weakest moment but have recovered yourself. If you are not revealing your sins, they will help you reveal it, but when you do so, you close the chapter. Your sins will find you out. Why wait for the great shame? You may speak it out unconsciously. Get it over immediately because sooner or later, it will spill shame and doom on your life. At the appropriate time, you will start embarrassing yourself. Confess and eradicate it before it finds a suitable opportunity to reveal itself.
Thought For The Day:  Confess your sin and forsake it.
Song For The Day:  Make me holy(3x) oh lord …
Bible Reading For The Day: Ezra 8-10

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 ...
