DATE: OCTOBER 5, 2021

TOPIC: PRACTICE

BIBLE TEXT: Joshua 1vs8 – This book of the law (The Bible) shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night; that thou mayest prosper observe to do according to all that is written therein; for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shall have good success.

Joshua the son Nun, took over leadership after the death of Moses the servant of God over Israel. And the first instruction given to him by God concerning the Word of God was to practice it every day. To practice in relation to the knowledge (information) gained via study. The Word of God is to be practiced, studied and carefully followed repeatedly for us to comprehend what the LORD has instructed and has install for the church.

We are instructed to keep the Word of God in our lips; i.e. we need to constantly practice every word until our mouths are filled and our tongues become transformed. There’s a saying that goes thus “practice makes perfect”. Indeed, every great child of God should practice the Word of God via study, meditation, observation and the application of action in accordance to the will of God. The Psalmist said, “Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Psalm 119:11 
David was a remarkable man, he followed this practice method God release on earth and he never committed a mistake, error or sin twice. 

• As a child of God are you practicing the things of God? 
•Are you weak and struggling at the place of destiny or faced with many adversaries? 

Rise up from your slumber and start practicing God’s Word, for by it, you shall have good success and in keeping them there is great reward (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 19:11).

Prayer – Heavenly Father, I receive your grace to put in practice every instruction and commands you have set for me.

Insight – Be a practical Christian

MARY, DID YOU KNOW?

Date - December 19th, 2021 Topic - MARY, DID YOU KNOW? Bible Text - But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” - Luke 1:30-31 If God had asked the women of Israel who wanted to be the mother of the Messiah, every one of them would have raised her hand. If they had known what that privilege would actually involve—becoming pregnant before marriage, enduring terrible gossip, watching helplessly as their Son was mocked, ridiculed, tortured and crucified—those hands would have come down in a hurry. Mary certainly didn’t volunteer for the job. And she was stunned to discover she’d been selected for such an important role. She handled the extraordinary situation with grace and humility. She asked one question to help her understand God’s plan, then agreed to it immediately. God has a plan for each of us. Ours may not be as earth-shattering as Mary’s. Ou...

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a).

Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

I Know Him

Date - January 25th, 2022 Topic - I Know Him Bible Tex t - Then [Jesus] asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:15-16 How can people describe the ocean when they have not experienced it? How would they explain the waves that crash against the rocks or the shifting of the sand as the tide tugs at the shoreline? Are they able to put into words how the sand feels between their toes or describe the majesty of an endless blue horizon? Until they have taken a dip in the salty, white-frothed ocean, their descriptions would be limited. Perhaps that is why Jesus asked the disciples to define their faith in him on a personal level rather than rely on what others had to say about him. Jesus challenged them to base their definition of who he was on the reality of what they had seen, heard, and experienced about him.  Today, many stand in public platforms and attempt to define Jesus as a good man, a teach...
