Prophecy Must Be Subjected To Scriptural Scrutiny  

Wednesday 6th August

Text: Deuteronomy 18:20-22 
Key verse: 1 Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
Prophesying does not require uncontrolled shouting, falling down, crying, shaking, and unnecessary demonstration. The message must be given in clear speech, in dignity and decency for the glory of God. The message of prophecy must be subjected to scriptural scrutiny to know whether it is from God or not. This requires the following: I: Diligent listening to know the details of the message, John 7:51. II: Documentation of the details of the message for verification, Habakkuk 2:2, 3. III: Doctrinal analysis of the message, to ensure there is no contradiction to the written scripture, Galatians 1:8, 9. IV: Dutiful verification of the revelations and predictions of the prophetic message for accuracy and fulfilment, Acts 17:11. V: Disciplinary life and attitude of the person operating in the gift, Deuteronomy 13:1-5. The church must not accept everybody into this ministry and must not accept every prophetic utterance without diligent scriptural investigation. We are instructed to prove all things to discern those operating by evil spirits or the human spirit in craftiness and deny them ministry and audience in the worship service of believers. 
God has promised all who believe in Jesus the baptism with the Holy Spirit, Acts 1:4, 5, 8. Speaking in a new tongue is the evidence of baptism with the Holy Spirit. Baptism with the Holy Spirit is also known as the gift of the Holy Spirit. This is different from the gifts of the Spirit. Only those who have received Jesus as their Lord and Savior can be baptized with the Holy Spirit. Those who speak in tongues by this experience speak not to men, but to God, and they speak mysteries. What they speak can be the language of men on earth or of angels in heaven, 1 Corinthians13:1. God gives this ability to believers for their personal edification. Hence, they can speak in tongues, pray in tongues and sing in tongues, 1 Corinthians 14:15. Apostle Paul showed that, although believers are allowed to speak in tongues in the worship service for their edification, this must be under control. 

Thought for the day: Wild speaking in tongues in the worship service is unscriptural.

Song for the day: Peace, purity, power, all mine in the Lord

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 9-11

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...
