----------------------

Chris.

To be humble is one of the basic requisites that the Lord has of us. Pride blocks everything and God hates pride. It is pointless to pray asking the Lord to make us humble, it is prayer that God will never answer. He has already given us the answer in His Word. We are to humble ourselves.

b) Hebrews 11:6. Without Faith it is impossible to please God.

c) Mark 11:24. As we pray.

(This Second one urges me to Have Faith In God)

-----------------------------------

Chris.

There are people, whom God says, do know wrong. The reason that God classifies them in such a way is that they walked in the Lord's Ways. David was such a person, we know, because the Bible records it, that David sinned, yet God gave him so much credibility. The condition of the heart has much to do with it. Even the people with the purest motivation in their hearts sometimes sin. Yet, if they, like David did, deal with their sins, God will give them credibility.

(This QT shows me a part of The Christian Life)

PRAY: As a True Believer to follow The Christian Life.

'Teaching The Word Of God In Every Circumstance.'

Luke 5:3.

a)  Stepping into one of the boats,

b)  Which was Simon's,

c)  He asked him to put out a little from the land.

d)  And He sat down and taught the people

e)  From the boat.

(This Second One reminds me of the importance of Teaching The Word Of God In Every Circumstance) 

PRAY: To be Teaching The Word Of God In Every Circumstance.

---------

Chris.

It is really a vitally important part of Church life to be Teaching the Word of God. When we are taught the Word of God this helps us to spiritually grow as Believers. Different Churches put their emphasis on various activities but the Church that puts its emphasis on Teaching the Word of God will surely be pleasing the Lord!

   

Unusual Miracles!

 'Unusual Miracles'
Acts 19:11-12.

a)  And God was doing 

b)  Extraordinary miracles

c)  By the hands of Paul,

d)  So that even handkercheifs or aprons

e)  That touched his skin

f)  Were carried away to the sick

g)  And evil spirits left them.

(This QT reminds me of the possibility of God doing Unusual Miracles)

PRAY: For people to be helped through Unusual Miracles in these days.

-----------

'Jesus Found The Best Way.'

Luke 5:2.

a)  Jesus found two boats,

b)  The fishermen had gone out of them

c)   And were washing their nets.

(This Second one teaches me that Jesus Found The Best Way)

PRAY: To always Find The Best Way.

-----------

Chris.

We should never discount the possibility of miracles being performed by True Believers and in the Churches today. There are times that miracles can draw unbelievers to the Lord. I have had the privilege of seeing such incidents! Let us Believe God that in our Churches, Outreaches and Evangelical efforts we shall witness Unusual Miracles.

A Sociable Woman!

'A Sociable Woman.'

John 2:1.

"A Sociable Woman."

a)  On the third day of the feast

b)  There was a wedding

c)  At Cana in Galilee,

d)  And the mother of Jesus was there.

(This QT teaches me that the mother of Jesus was A Sociable Woman)

PRAY: That the sisters in our Churches will have sisters within who are Sociable Women.

---------

                                                                          Luke 5:1.

                                                               "The Listening Crowd."

a)  One day as Jesus was preaching

b)  On the shore of the Sea of Galilee,

c)  Great crowds pressed in on Him

d)  To listen to the Word of God.

(This Second one reveals The Listening Crowd)

PRAY: To be a good listener to the Word of the Lord.

---------

Chris.

Sisters in our Churches have an important part to play, not only in their service, but also in their social lives. Every member of the Church, whether brothers, sisters or young people, needs to be cared for and taught how to care for others too! The Pastoral Ministry within the Churches needs to be valued and esteemed. 

We Should Identify With Our Offerings!

 

'

'We Should Identify With Our Offerings'

Leviticus 3:8.

a)  Lay your hand on its head

b)  And slaughter it in front of the Tent of Meeting

c)  And Aaron's sons

d)  Shall throw its blood against the sides of the Altar.

(This QT reminds me that We Should Identify With Our Offerings)

PRAY: To be humbly open about our Offerings To The Lord.

---------

'A Mighty Miracle.'

Romans 15:19.

a)  In the power of signs and wonders,

b)  In the power of the Spirit of God,

c)  From Jerusalem and all the way round to Illirycom,

d)  I have fully preached the Gospel of Christ.

(Through this Second one I find A Mighty Miracle)

PRAY: For the Gospel of Christ to be preached in our Churches.

---------

Chris.

Humility is the correct attitude to have in Christian Worship, whatever part of Worship it may be! When secrecy shrouds Worship Offerings, that really leads the way to an open door for abuse and deception. The Churches need to be open about financial matters and that includes its practical outgoings such as salaries, love gifts and mission offerings.

Making Sensible Decisions!

☺☝

 ‘Making Sensible Decisions.’

Acts 19:8-10.

Apostle Paul had begun the Lord’s ministry in Ephesus in helping to plant a Church among them. Ephesus was a heathen city, it was not easy to plant the Church. There was the need for making sensible decisions so that this Church could grow and be fruitful.

a)     Acts 19:8. Paul went to preach in the synagogue for three months, arguing persuasively about the Kingdom of God.

b)    Acts 19:9. Some people were rejecting Paul’s message and speaking publicly against “The Way”. Paul then left the synagogue ministry, he took the Believers with him and began to teach daily in the School of Tyrannus, a sensible decision.

c)     Acts 19:10. Paul spent two years in that place so that many Jews and Gentiles heard God’s Message.

(Through this QT I find that it is important to be Making Sensible Decisions)

 --------

‘Blessings The Lord Gives To Us.’

a)     Luke 1:67-75; 2:14. Covenant.

b)    Romans 8:28-34. Calling.

c)     Romans 9:15-16. Compassion.

d)    Hebrews 4:16; 10:35-36; John 14:13-14. Confidence.

e)     Isaiah 51:3; 46:4; 45:11. Comfort.

f)      Isaiah 54:17; 2 Peter 2:9; Psalm 7:8-10. Covering.

g)    Psalm 59:16-17; 3:3. Cheerfulness.

(Through this Second one I am so grateful for the wonderful Blessings The Lord Gives To Me)

 --------

Chris.

God is a God of Covenants. We read of these Covenants right throughout the Scriptures. He delights in keeping Covenant with His People. We need to trust God and the Covenants that He makes with us and respond to them well. The Covenants are to do with God’s people, their Churches, their families, and individual Believers.

 

 

 

We Sometimes Need A Guide!'

 "We Sometimes Need A Guide."

Acts 8:31.

a)  The man replied:

b)  'Without someone to guide me,

c)  'How could I?'

d)  Then he invited Philip to climb up and sit with him.

(This QT reminds me that We Sometimes Need A Guide)

PRAY: For good guidance when we need it.

-------

'The Humility Of Christ.'

Philippians 2:8.

a)  And being found in human form,

b)  He humbled Himself

c)  By becoming obedient to the point of death,

d)  Even death on a Cross.

(This Second one reveals to me The Humility Of Christ)

PRAY: To learn from The Epistle to the Philippians.

-------

Chris.

Before we focus on any other Biblical Doctrine and Truth, we need to focus on the Death and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ! If we have this correct focus, we can both grow well and serve well as True Believers. May our Churches have this focus as a part of their "ministry plan".

The Place Where Our Offerings Should Go!

 'The Place Where Our Offerings Should Go.'

Leviticus 3:7.

a)  If he offers a lamb 

b)  For his offering,

c)  Then he shall offer it

d)  Before the Lord.

(This QT reminds me of The Place Where Our Offerings Should Go)

PRAY:  For our offerings to be purely Before the Lord.

------

'Righteousness And Justice.'

Psalm 37:6.

a)  He will bring forth your righteousness 

b)  As the light,

c)  And your justice

d)  As the noonday.

(This Second shows me that Righteousness And Justice go hand-in-hand)

PRAY: That Righteousness and Justice will have an important part in our lives.

------

Chris.

Psalm 37 is an excellent source for meditation. It is good to remember what God wants to do in our lives. He wants to bring forth our righteousness! When our lives manifest Godly Righteousness, we will surely give Glory to Him. Let us consider Psalm 37 well.

Growing More Like The Lord!

 

'Growing More Like The Lord.'

Ephesians 4:15.

a)  Instead,

b)  We will speak the Truth in love,

c)  Growing in every way more and more like Christ,

d)  Who is the Head of His Body,

e)  The Church.

(This QT gives me the desire to be Growing More Like The Lord)

PRAY: That we will be Growing More Like The Lord.

-----

'Fully Trusting In The Lord.'

Psalm 37:3-5.

a)  Trust in the Lord and do good.

b)  Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.

c)  Take delight in the Lord,

d)  And He will give you your heart's desires.

e)  Commit everything you do to the Lord.

f)  Trust Him, and He will help you.

(This QT encourages me to be Fully Trusting In The Lord.)

PRAY: To fully trust in the Lord.

-----

Chris.

It is a wonderful fact that God really wants to give His People their heart's desires. This is really a part of what it means to be 'in God'! We should be able to commit everything we do to the Lord. If we cannot trust in the Lord we miss many blessings and benefits. He really desires to help us - we need to turn to Him and not away from Him.

Do You Understand?

 'Do You Understand?'

Acts 8:30.

a)  So Philip ran to him

b)  And heard him reading the Prophet Isaiah,

c)  And said,

d)  "Do you understand what you are reading?

(This QT challenges me to help people understand)

PRAY: That we will do our best to help people understand good Bible Teaching.

----

'Where The Spirit Of The Lord Is.'

2 Corinthians 3:17.

a)  Now the Lord is the Spirit,

b)  And where the Spirit of the Lord is,

c)  There is Freedom.

(This Second one reveals to me Where The Spirit Of The Lord Is)

PRAY: To be filled with the Holy Spirit.

---

Chris.

We should never take the Presence of the Holy Spirit for granted! The Scripture speaks about "where" He is! "Freedom" has many expressions! Freedom in Christ has a deep meaning of received Grace, it is internal before being external. If we are truly filled with the Holy Spirit, we should enjoy such freedom. Let us seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit!

True Fellowship!

 'True Fellowship.'

Leviticus 3:6.

a)  The Sacrifice of a Peace Offering.

b)  It is: 

1-Of the flock.

2-Male or female.

3-Without blemish.

(This QT reminds me of the necessity for purity in order to have True Fellowship)

PRAY: To have True Fellowship with God and people.

---

'After Ehud's Death.'

Judges 4:1.

a)  After Ehud's death,

b)  The Israelites again 

c)  Did evil

d)  In the Lord's sight.

(This Second one reveals to me what happened After Ehud's Death)

PRAY: Not to do evil in the Lord's sight.

---

Chris.

It is necessary for us to pray to have True Fellowship with God and people. If we do not have this fellowship, a vital part of the reality of Christianity is missing. A part of Abundant Life is Fellowship Life.

No Longer Infants!

 'No Longer Infants.'

Ephesians 4:14.

a)  Then we shall no longer be infants,

b)  Carried by the waves

c)  And blown about by every shifting wind

d)  Of the teaching of deceitful people,

e)  Who lead others into error

f)  By the tricks they invent.

(This QT reminds me that we should be No Longer Infants)

PRAY: Not to be carried by the waves of error.

-------------------------

'A Witness To The Light.'

John 1:8.

a)  John was not the Light.

b)  He came only

c)  As a witness to the Light.

(Through this  Second one I desire to be A Witness To The Light)

PRAY: To be A Witness To The Light.

-------------------------

Chris.

John clearly taught in His Gospel about Jesus Christ! Truly He is the Light Of The World. John called himself a witness of the Light. Surely every Believer is called to be a witness of the Light. We should live as witnesses of the Light! May God rain down His Blessings upon us!

Philip's Encounter!

💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

 'Philip's Encounter.'

Acts 8:27-29.

a)  Acts 8:27. The important Ethiopian who was going to Jerusalem to Worship in his chariot.

b)  Acts 8:28. He was reading the Prophet Isaiah.

c)  Acts 8:29. The Holy Spirit told Philip to go and join the chariot.

(This QT teaches me about Philip's Encounter)

PRAY: For our Bible Reading and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.

----------------------

'Cleaving.'

a)  Genesis 2:24. A man shall cleave to his wife.

b)  Deuteronomy 4:4; 10:20; 11:22. Cleave to the Lord.

c)  Deuteronomy 13:17. No cursed thing.

d)  2 Kings 5:27. Leprosy.

e)  Job 19:20. Bones.

f)  Job 29:10; Psalm 22:15; 137:6. The tongues of nobles to the roof of their mouths.

g)  Psalm 44:25. A body to the ground.

h)  Psalm 119:31. I cleave to the Lord's testimonies.

i)  Psalm 141:7. Cleaving to a rock.

(This Second one reminds me about Cleaving)

PRAY: For healthy bones.

-------------------

Chris.

New life in Christ is part of the Inheritance of every True Believer. This life is powerful and changes those who have it. This is why the Gospel of Christ is something that every Church should prioritize. Give a Message from God's Word that is really Biblical.
