A Prodigal Son Returns Home

Monday 1st December

Text: Philemon 1: 10-14
Key verse: Philemon 1: 15 “For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him forever.”
A young man stole the money of his poor parents. The parents discovered that he was the one that stole the money and were angry with him. He became afraid and ran away and left the town completely to a faraway town for quite some years. But the desire for his family came to him. He started longing for them but how will he return? He didn’t know what to do. He started wishing to go back home. What will they do to me? He wrote a letter and acknowledged that he stole the money; that it was wickedness he did but that would they forgive him? If they will forgive him, they should give him a sign. The railway track passed behind their house. He was going to board the train that will be passing by. If you have forgiven me and long to see me, just hang a white cloth behind the house. When I see the white cloth, I will know you are ready to forgive me. I will alight. But if as the train passes by, I see no white cloth, it means you people are angry with me, I will continue with the train to wherever and that is how I will go forever. 
When this information came to the parents, they rejoiced greatly that their son was coming home. They gathered all the white clothes in the house and hung them outside. What if he fails to see these white clothes? They got white paper and spread it everywhere. The house was covered with white. At least he will see one white cloth or paper and they were ready for him. When this young man was passing by, he saw white clothes and papers; the love of his father, mother, brothers and sisters in the family. “Oh! My people still love me. Oh God, I thank you for granting me forgiveness. I won’t do it again. He alighted and came for celebration. Prodigal son has come back home. Angels shall rejoice as you come back home. The church shall rejoice as you come back to the Father. The Father shall rejoice. Jesus will stand up waiting for you to come.

Thought for the day: Prodigal child, come back home. 

Song for the day: Wasted years (2x), O how foolish… turn around, God is calling…

Bible reading for the day: 1 Corinthians 10-13

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...

You Are Expected To Bear Fruits Of Righteousness.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. You Are Expected To Bear Fruits Of Righteousness   Thursday 6th November TEXT: Psalm 126: 1-6 Key verse: Psalm 126: 5 “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.” You are expected to bear fruits of righteousness. Get converts of righteousness. Let the righteous leaders work on the other leaders. Work on your fellows to bring them to the righteousness of God by your life. Convert people. Woman, convert other women. Do you not see people in the church and in your neighborhood that you can convert? Do you not see people around that you can give these holiness books and messages to? God expects that you to bear fruits after your kind. He did not light you to hide you. He gave you talents to acquire gain from the talents he has given you. Why do you hide the truth after you have discovered it? The reason we hold Ministers’ conference is so that all the ministers that attend should go and behave after...
