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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
