Give Adequate Attention To Doctrines 

Monday 1st September

Text: Hebrews 5:12-14 
Key verse: Psalm 95:3 “For the Lord is a great God and a great King above all gods.”
C: Doctrine is actually the paramount thing in the worship service. Doctrine here refers to the preaching and teaching of the word of God in the worship assembly. It involves the selection and arrangement of scriptures by the preacher or teacher to convey a message to the worshippers through proper interpretation, illustration and application for their exhortation, edification and comfort. The preacher or teacher thinks out his message by the help of the Holy Spirit, gathers and arranges his facts. His authority is the Holy Scripture. He seeks to edify the worshippers through the interpretation and application of the scriptures. 
Preaching or teaching is distinct from the manifestation of the gift of prophecy or prophesying in the worship assembly. While the message of prophecy is wholly from God in a divine manifestation, doctrine is a message thought up by the preacher or teacher backed up by scriptures and conveyed to the congregation for their spiritual nourishment. Prophecy and other gifts of the Spirit may not occur during every worship service. But doctrine is the food which the church must regularly feed on for their salvation and establishment in righteousness.
It is disheartening that many local Assemblies have no place for doctrine. They devote so much time to singing, dancing and other activities. Dancing, an introduction to Christian worship in the late twenty-first century now holds first place in the worship service. It bridges the gap between sinners and saints and accords every one of them the privilege of bodily demonstration in the name of worship. When the worshippers exhaust themselves by these things which give them bodily pleasure, they are unprepared for long sermon. Worshippers in such assemblies cannot be spiritually strong and dependable in the knowledge of the scriptures and righteousness. The local assembly must give more attention and time to preaching or teaching of the word of God than every other worship activity to make the worshippers born again, sanctified, holy, fruitful and prepared for the coming of the Lord.

Thought for the day: Doctrinal teaching is the main thing in the worship service. 

Song for the day: Your word is life, Your word is Spirit…

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 25-27

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

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...
