Get Rid Of Hatred 

Monday 24th November 

Text: Leviticus 19: 15 - 18
Key verse: Roman 12: 18 "If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men," 
Hatred is resentment, rejection, dislike and denial of love towards a person. Hatred carries with it the potential to harm the one hated. An angry person may hate the person that often annoys him. Cain hated Abel because he envied the grace of God in his life. Malice in the heart against a person may grow into hatred. Some people lie against those they hate to hurt them. Potiphar's wife lied against Joseph to harm him because he refused her immoral offer. Her lusting after Joseph turned to hatred afterward. A covetous man may hate the person hindering his selfish pursuits. A proud man hates those who refuse to hail him. Haman hated Mordecai for refusing to bow to him. Some other reasons for hatred against someone may be because of racial difference, tribal conflict, or family conflict. 
Some hate others without a cause. The Lord warns us against hatred. Those who harbour hatred against others are not true Christians and so cannot inherit the kingdom of God because they are still in sinful darkness. "Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him", 1 John 3: 15. Remove every form of hatred from your heart: hatred due to racial, tribal or ethnic difference, malice, envy or fear. Turn to Jesus in faith and continuous prayer for your salvation and purity. Ask God to fill your heart with love for all men. 
The scripture exhorts: "Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently," 1 Peter 1:22. Live in peace and love with all men. Reprove those who have wronged you and forgive them. Forgive those who hate you without cause or for your faith in Christ. Pray always for God's daily grace to live and relate with all men, especially, difficult and unfriendly people. 

Thought for the day: Pray always for God's grace to live and relate with all men  

Song for the day: Give me grace to follow, abundant grace to follow

Bible reading for the day: Romans 1-3

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...

The Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
