Monday July 31 Bible Reading:      Rev. 6: 9 - 17 Topic:                   The Glory Surpasses The Pain Two days ago, we saw that the opening of the first four seals revealed God's judgment which included war, conflict, famine and widespread death and destruction on the earth. The opening of the fifth seal in today's reading reveals the souls that were martyred for their faith and testimony. To their cry for justice against those who were responsible, God responded with the gift of white robes as they waited for the coming home of others who were yet to be martyred (vs. 9 - 11) God knows about the suffering, persecution and martyrdom of His children in all generations up till now. Their suffering is not in vain, they will be rewarded when they meet their Father for Whom they suffered too much. Another encouragement is that on the day that God will unleash terrible judgment on all wicked people, none o

Sunday July 30 (Trinity 7) Bible Reading:      Gal. 5: 16 - 26 Topic:                   Walk In The Lord Paul laboured among the Galatians, teaching them the Gospel of salvation by grace alone. Unfortunately, other teachers came after him to teach that they needed faith in Christ plus their own human effort. This upset Paul so greatly that he denounced these teachers of what he called "another gospel" in the strongest possible terms, saying they should be accursed (Gal. 1: 6 -9) He pointed out to the Christians that no one can be justified by works (2: 16) because if that were possible then Christ would have died in vain (2: 21) He went on to show them that the problems they were having in their lives and fellowship was because rather than rely on the power of the Spirit, Who alone can help them live godly lives that please God, they walked in the flesh (5: 13 - 15, 19 - 20, 24) The good news is

Saturday July 29 Bible Reading:      Rev. 6: 1 - 8 Topic:                   The Judgment Set Over The Earth In today's reading, John sees four horsemen revealed as the first four seals which represent God's judgment on the corrupt and evil world system and the ungodly are broken. In order of the opening of the seals, the first rider went out to conquer, the second to take peace away from the earth, the third to cause famine and the fourth to cause widespread death and destruction in the earth. Everyone agrees that we are in the last days because throughout the world terrible things are happening. War, death and destruction ravage many Countries including Nigeria and Jesus warned that we see these things happening, we should know that the end is near. That being the case brethren, let me ask you a most poignant question: How prepared are you for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ? Only those whose names are found in the Boo

Friday July 28 Bible Reading:      Rev. 5: 1 - 14 Topic:                   Weep No More We weep for a variety of reasons --- bereavement, pain, sadness, frustration, hopelessness, despair, e.t.c. In today's passage, John wept because no one in Heaven, on Earth or under the Earth was found worthy to open the scroll in God's right Hand or even to look at it. However one of the Elders consoled John with this good news: "Do not weep. Behold the Lamb of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals" (v. 5) Christ prevailed at Calvary, wiping out "the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us and .... nailed it to the Cross ..." Beloved, there is no more need to weep because Jesus has won the victory. We should join the Heavenly Choir in worship, singing: "Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain to receive pow
