MEMORISE: Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Hebrews 1:9
READING: 1 Peter 1:8-9
- Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
-
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Kings 12:1-33, 13:1-34, Luke 24:36-53
MESSAGE: A brother came to my office some years ago. He introduced himself as an Evangelist, but he had two wives. He reeled out testimonies of miracles in his ministry. Then he made the mistake of asking counsel from me on how he could excel in ministry. I told him Thank God for miracles, signs and wonders but Jesus said in Matthew 7:21-23, He will ask workers of iniquity to depart from
Him.
He looked at me with surprise and wondered how the testimonies he shared were related to rejection by Jesus. Seeing he had not got the message, I plainly told him Sir, you have two wives.
Perform all the miracles in the world, you will still end up in hell. He was very angry and left.
Years later, he came back to thank me. He said You are the best friend I have ever had. That day I came for counselling, I was angry, but now I know better. I was continually haunted by your words until I made restitution.
Do you constantly search yourself?. Do you go to people whom you know will not lie to you to give you an assessment of your Christian stand?. When you do these, you need to take steps to make the necessary adjustments.
KEY POINT: Salvation brings great joy.
