Acts 1:8 Read: John 7:37-39, 37  In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39  (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) Bible in one year: 1 st Samuel 13:8-14:46, Proverbs 5:7-23 The baptism of the Holy Spirit is very important to every heaven-bound Christian for many reasons.

Bible in one yea...

ETERNAL DAMNATION  Memorise: He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

“LORD JESUS” A MERE SLOGAN?   Memorise: Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my father which is in heaven. Matthew 7:21 Read: Luke 6:43-46, 43  For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 44  For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45  A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. 46  And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?  Bible in one year: 1 st Samuel 2, Proverbs 2:12-3:12 There are those who know God and there are those who claim to know Him, but do not submit to His Lordship. They come to the presence of God, but their sins do not al...

Mathew 18:3 Read: Matthew 18:1-4, 18  At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2  And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3  And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4  Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Bible in one year: 1 st Samuel 1, Proverbs 2:20-3:12 One of the greatest lessons to learn from little children is that they don’t worry about anything.

LOSING FOCUS?   Memorise: The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. Luke 12:23 Read; Matthew 16:25-26, 25  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26  For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Bible in one year: Ruth 1-4, Proverbs 2:1-19 What many believers have failed to realise is that only God knows all our needs and only God can meet all our needs. Sometimes we think we know what is good for us, but time and time again, I have discovered that you cannot have something better than what God has in store for you. We have been given dominion over material needs; therefore the rush for them is uncalled for. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all those things shall be added unto you” Matthew 6:33 It is the instruction of our Lord and master of think beyond worldly...

Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
