Saturday November 25 Bible Reading:     Phil. 2: 5 - 11 Topic:                  Humbled To Be Exalted 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, …. 8 … He humbled Himself and became obedient to … death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him … This passage is one of the most challenging in the entire Scripture. Generally, we are all very protective of our reputation and would do all in our power to protect it when it is threatened. However, Jesus who was sinless and perfect, and therefore had a reputation to protect, deliberately made Himself of no reputation. In response to His obedience, humility and sacrifice, God exalted Him and gave...

Thursday November 2 (All Souls Day) Bible Reading:     John 5: 24 - 29 Topic:                  Life Through Obedience In vs. 25 - 29, Jesus specifically indentifies Himself as the long awaited Messiah Who is both the "Life-Giver" and the "Life-Bringer". He uses the Power of His Words to bring new life to those who are spiritually dead with no consciousness of sin or sorrow for their rebellion against God. Do you find yourself in that situation? The good news is that Jesus Christ has the Power to redeem you and give you new life if you respond to His invitation to make Him Lord of your life. However, Jesus also warns that those who refuse His invitation now will face condemnation in future and will face an eternity outside of Christ. Basically what we do with Jesus here decides how and where we will spend eternity. If you are reading th...

Thursday September 7 Bible Reading:      Col. 4: 1 - 6 Topic:                   More Instructions For Believers Superiors usually give instructions to those under them. The aim of such instructions is to enable those under them to perform their work well and to free them from possible problems. In the last Chapter of this Epistle, Paul gives six important instructions to the children of God. First, he enjoins Christians to treat those who work under them with fairness and equity remembering that God is the Master over all men. He also emphasized the need to live a life of thanksgiving, with fervent prayers and watchfulness. Our prayers should not only focus on our needs but also for the extension of the Kingdom of God on earth. We are also to pray for boldness for Ministers and Evangelists as they labour in God's Vineya...

Saturday July 1 Bible Reading:      Gen. 22: 15 - 19 Topic:          Obedience Is Rewarded Obedience is the key to fulfilling our destiny. It is total surrender to God's Will and therefore the easiest way of attracting God's blessings to our lives. In this passage, God was evidently moved by Abraham's obedience and immediately pronounced blessings on him and his posterity. We know that God abhors human sacrifice and would severely punish all those who indulge in it as the Scripture warns us. However, the pagans in Canaan routinely sacrificed their children to idols, so in asking him to sacrifice his son Isaac, God was testing Abraham's faith in Him to see if he was willing to give up what he valued most as a sign of devotion to Him. We give total obedience to God only when we completely trust in His love and faithfulness and Abraham passed that test with flying colours. We can o...
