THIS MOUNTAIN SHALL BE REMOVED

God bless you for taking the time to study. TOPIC:  THIS MOUNTAIN SHALL BE REMOVED TEXT: EXODUS 14:10-16  THURSDAY JUNE 1st  KEY VERSE: “Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.” (Ezra 10:4). Patience and endurance are essential in the Christian life. Hence a believer facing some difficulties in life may encourage himself to be patient and endure more. However, you need to examine the matter well. It may be possible you are expected to do something about the problem. You may be waiting and enduring your problem due to your ignorance, fear, indecision, or laziness. Find out within yourself; the Holy Spirit is stirring some spiritual provocations within you against that problem.  In our key verse, Ezra was the appropriate person to initiate action. Both God and men were waiting for him and would support him. All he needed was fearlessness, courage, and action. This may be your situation. Arise for action and ...

DO NOT PROVOKE THE OTHER SIDE OF GOD

God bless you for taking the time to study. TOPIC: DO NOT PROVOKE THE OTHER SIDE OF GOD TEXT: PSALM 37:17-20  TUESDAY MAY 30th  KEY VERSE: “For our, God is a consuming fire.” (Hebrews 12:29). When people say “The Lord is good all the time” and “all the time the Lord is good,” they are confessing the abundance of God’s grace, His unfathomable mercy, and immeasurable benevolence. The goodness of God is vast and beyond full understanding. God’s goodness is expressed in his patience with sinful mankind and his love for His enemies. He does not want anyone to perish, but wants all to come to repentance and be saved 1 Timothy 2:4). But God’s universal grace, love, and goodness as expressed to the righteous and wicked alike is not to be mistaken for the endorsement of wickedness amongst men.  Often, sinners tend to be carried away by the richness of God’s goodness and erroneously conclude that it is impossible for God to damn anybody to hell. Their ears are attentive to Satan wh...

HEAD COVERING AND GODLY DRESSING FOR HOLY WOMEN

God bless you for taking the time to study. TOPIC: HEAD COVERING AND GODLY DRESSING FOR HOLY WOMEN TEXT  1 Timothy 2:8-10  MONDAY MAY 29th  KEY VERSE: Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel. 1 Peter 3:3. From our text and key verse, we can learn the following about godly dressing. i. Modest Apparel. The godly woman's dress must be modest and appropriate, portraying her Christian faith and holiness. She must avoid both extremes, wretched or flamboyant appearance. ii. Sobriety. There must be self-control in the desire for clothing; no covetousness, wild desire, and worldliness. Be content with what you have. Avoid the insatiable desire for clothing and the love of clothes and shoes. If this happens, she will not be satisfied with it; she will waste divine resources and be liable for it before God. She must learn to give out the unwanted ones to the needy.  iii. Shamefacedness. This na...

LEARN SELF-REPORTING TO LEADERSHIP WHEN IN ERROR

God bless you for taking the time to study. LEARN SELF-REPORTING TO LEADERSHIP WHEN IN ERROR TEXT: LUKE 15: 11-18  SUNDAY MAY 28th  Key Verse: Luke 15: 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,  The text shows the return of the prodigal son to his father. His return and confession showed his situation report. His father accepted and forgave his sin beyond his expectation. In the same way if you as a minister find yourself in immorality, come low and report yourself to your leader. The devil overcame you but God has known and will want to welcome you back. Discipline yourself by reporting yourself. If it requires withdrawing yourself from church service, do it. Your life does not consist in the service you render in the church so seek heaven first and not service. Ask for prayers and pardon. That is what God is looking for. Follow the right way to get it right.  Reveal your secret sins even the o...

REMOVE SLANDERERS FROM THE HOUSE OF GOD

God bless you for taking the time to study. REMOVE SLANDERERS FROM THE HOUSE OF GOD TEXT: 2 Samuel 16:1-4  SATURDAY MAY 27th  Key Verse: Psalm 101:5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off, Slanderers do not carry the message of love but of resentment. They are destroyers and not builders. Their aim is self-promotion and self-protection. When Ziba came to David in the wilderness as he fled from Absalom, to get David’s favour, he came with a slander against Mephibosheth. King David asked him of Mephibosheth his master, he said Mephibosheth was busy preparing himself in Jerusalem to be king saying, “Now the Lord shall restore to me the kingdom of my father that was snatched away from the hand of Saul.” David wondered why a lame man he has shown mercy should act this way knowing he saved him from death because of the covenant he made with Jonathan his father. With all he has done for Mephibosheth, why should he seek his hurt? He gave Ziba the vineyard he once re...

THE TRINITY OF THE GODHEAD

God bless you for taking the time to study. TOPIC: THE TRINITY OF THE GODHEAD TEXT: EPHESIANS 4: 4-6   FRIDAY MAY 26th  Key Verse: 1 John 5: 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. There are many confusions, misconceptions, and errors circulating in Christendom concerning the idea of the divine Trinity in the Bible. The doctrine of the Trinity of the Godhead is a mystery. The word Trinity does not appear in the Bible, but we have a concept of it. The LORD our God is one God in three persons and three persons in one God. The three Persons are distinct or separate but are all equal and of the same essence and nature. (Deut. 6:4-5, Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord…). In the basic description of Him: God is Spirit, Light, Love, and a consuming Fire. His essential attributes:  God is Eternal, Immutable, Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent. Among His moral attributes are perfect hol...

LET BROTHERLY LOVE CONTINUE

God bless you for taking the time to study. TOPIC: LET BROTHERLY LOVE CONTINUE TEXT: HEBREWS 13: 1-4  THURSDAY MAY 25th  Key Verse: 1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. We must be aware that many things come up in our lives to challenge the pure Christian love in the church, in the family, and in the marriage. Regardless of these things, we are admonished to ensure that brotherly love continues. We have to do good to entertain strangers. Or else we will be continually suspicious of everyone. We will always be fearing. There is no love at times, but the Bible tells us that perfect love casts out all fear. So, our love must be perfect; it must be intact else we cannot live a holy Christian life. Though there are challenges of ungodliness, which makes the relationship difficult, brotherly love must continue. We have to be patient and toleran...
