GOODNESS AND SEVERITY OF GOD
MEMORY VERSE: - Ro 11:22 behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
BIBLE READING: -Rom 11:1 – 36
It is very obvious from the above memory verse that the security of believers in Christ is conditional. It is conditioned on the fact that he continues in obedient faith to the end. Because of unbelief national Israel was going to reap the severe judgment of God, on the other hand the gentiles reaped the goodness of God through obedient of faith.
As long as you abide in Christ you have sure protection and answers to your prayers here in the world. John9:31 says “Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.”
If you honour God and keep his word he will honour you in return and also answer your prayers.
1Sa 2:30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me forever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Jesus also said in [Jn 12:26] that “If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.”
The doctrine of eternal security that once saved you are forever saved regardless of whatever sin you commit thereafter is not of God but of the devil.
David told his son Solomon that if you seek God he will be found of thee, but if you forsake him he will cast thee away forever.
Jesus told that woman in Jn 8:11 that “…….. Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”
God also said in Heb 10:38 that “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man drawback, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
God said he will not have pleasure in you if you draw back into sin and your folly – that leads to perdition. The soul that sinneth shall die; shall be separated from God [spiritual death] and finally eternal death [second death] if he does not make his way right here on earth.
Now is the time grace; now is the day of salvation and renewal, tomorrow might be too late, amend your ways.
Prayer point

God help me to follow your banner and serve you everywhere I go and when temptation comes give me grace to say no!

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved ...

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. — HEBREWS 2:14 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
