God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies.

We Must See God In His Mercy And Judgment.  

Friday 21st November 

Text: Psalm 101: 1 – 2
Key verse: Psalm 25: 4 “Shew me Thy ways O Lord, teach me Thy paths.”
A holy leader must cultivate the life of self-discipline in Biblical truth, righteousness and holiness. He must, as a leader, be disciplinary over God's people under him to remove the wicked and perfect the saints for the service of the Lord. Many people enter into the Christian ministry and leadership without knowing what it is and the kind of personal life and commitment required in ministry and Christian leadership. Apostle Paul says, such are beating the air and have no clear goal before them, hence, they cannot win the medal. Those who want to receive the reward of Christian ministry and leadership must make a firm resolution and pursue it by employing the instrument of scriptural discipline to achieve excellent life and ministry.
This is the standard every true and righteous leader must have. We must see God both in His mercy and judgment. We must see God in His goodness and His severity; in His kindness and in His punishment; in His salvation and in His condemnation. In His quickening people back to life and in His destroying people forever. You need to see God in these two respects; Mercy and Judgment. Thus, in the service of God, you need to see Him in these two aspects. We speak often of His grace, kindness, love and forgiveness. All things will work for your good, surely God will show you kindness, God will forgive your sins but see God also as a judge. 
You have the privilege to serve God now but you can lose it. Is it that God really lacked people to serve Him, that is why you are behaving like this? Or is that the reason why you are careless, saying “Is He not happy that I am even trying? Is there anyone else in this place?” Do you understand what you are saying? Who made that place and who made you? You mean God has no power to deal with you that is why you abuse Him to His face? You do not know Him! When He dealt with Nebuchadnezzar, after he returned from the holiday of being an animal, he came back to his senses and said “Now I know that the Most High reigns in the kingdom of men.” 

Thought for the day: Cultivate a life of self-discipline in Biblical truth and holiness 

Song for the day: Holiness is the beauty of the believers

Bible reading for the day: Acts 22-23

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, ...
