Scriptural Approach to Testimonies of Deliverance. 

Saturday 19th July

Text: Mark 5:18-19 

Key verse: Psalm 107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy. 
There are those who were delivered from the power of darkness. They were once witches, wizards, occultists, spiritists that served Satan in his evil kingdom. God showed them mercy and through faith in Christ they were delivered. Many of these would desire to give the testimony of their salvation. This is right. However, those who share testimonies of deliverance from the power of Satan must avoid going into the depth of Satan. This is not encouraged by the scripture. They must not seek to go into details in their testimony and revelations. This caution is necessary to avoid damage to themselves and to those that hear them. If they go into in-depth revelation of what they think they know of Satan and his works, the following are observed: 
1. They say things they did not have full understanding of when they were in Satan's kingdom, thus misleading their hearers. 2. Some speak lies to satisfy the itching ears of their listeners. 3. They end up promoting Satan and his power above Jesus Christ. 4. They enslave the people of God in fear of satanic power. 5. They open doors to sinners who desire to go into satanic kingdom. 6. They create hunger and thirst in the people of God for satanic revelations in abandonment of the essential knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and His kingdom. 7. Many of them are not grounded in the faith and so expose themselves to attacks from Satan. Some backslide and become weapons of Satan against the church and the gospel. 8. Some are active agents of Satan sent to deceive men of itching ears. 
Satan is a servant while Jesus is the Master. Do not seek knowledge of Satan and his evil ways because salvation and eternal life is through the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ. Note that the essential knowledge of Satan has already been given to us in scripture. Master the knowledge of God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the knowledge of scriptural truth and not the knowledge of Satan and his evil kingdom! 
Thought for the day: Never appreciate testimonies that distort the truths of scripture. 
Song for the day: All power belongs to Jesus
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 15-19

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...
