Tuesday November 14 Bible Reading:     Eph. 4: 25 - 32 Topic:                  Carry Over Is Not Allowed (Part Two) We continue today on Paul's teaching on putting off the old man and putting on the new man. This time around more vices that are associated with the old man are mentioned that we are required to put off. Interestingly, wherever he lists a vice to be "put off", he gave a virtue to be "put on" Lying is replaced by truth (v. 25) Anger is replaced by reconciliation (vs. 26, 27) A person who once robbed goes to work (v. 28) Harmful words give way to helpful ones (vs. 29) Bitterness, wrath, anger and insults give way to tender-heartedness, forgiveness (vs. 31, 32) Verse 30 stands out in the list "And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by Whom you were sealed for the day of redemption" The Holy Spirit Who sees our hea...

Thursday July 20 Bible Reading:      Rev. 2: 18 - 29 Topic:                   What Does God Have Against You The Church at Thytira was commended for her faith, service, charity and patience but unfortunately she allowed "Jezebel" to teach and seduce the people of God to practice idolatry and fornication. This grieved the Lord greatly Are you a child of God, fervent and faithful in service, yet, still have some secret sins in your life? Remember Gal. 5: 9 says "a little leaven, leavens the whole lump" God is right now calling your attention to those little leavens in your life. Do not close your eyes to them. It is time to decisively deal with them so that there will not be a regrettable BUT in your life when you stand before the King of kings on the last day. v. 29 says "he who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says to...

Wednesday June 14 Bible Reading:      1 Pet. 4: 7 - 11 Topic:          Use Your Gifts To Serve Excellently Well In Life Apostle Peter continued his exhortation to the Christians he addressed, with a challenge to a Spirit filled and Spirit led life of prayer and devotion to God and man. They were to continue in an unselfish, hospitable life in their homes and put every gift in their lives - speaking, helping others and only others for the glory of God forever. God's gifts to us - of grace, love and truth - are for us to build one another in the faith. The foundation for a successful life of service is the Nature of God we have received. By the fruit of the Spirit, we are enabled to be like God in love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, self control and gentleness. This is the kind of life Paul said against it "there is no law" (Gal. 5: 22 - 23) ...

Sunday June 11 Bible Reading:      Eph. 1: 3 - 14 Topic:          We Are Predestined To Eternal Life Through Christ The letter to the Ephesians develops the theme of unity by mentioning the way in which God the Father had chosen us as His People. how we have been forgiven and set free from our sins through Jesus Christ His Son and how God's promise of eternal salvation has been fulfilled for us by the Holy Spirit. God kept His eternal plan a secret from the foundation of the World and at the appointed time, He has revealed it through His Son through Whom He chose those who believed to be His own adopted sons and who belong to His family. He gave such the rights of inheritance having been accepted in the beloved of Christ. The ignorance of our position and inheritance in Christ is one major problem of many Christians. God has called us and blessed us with every spiritual bles...
