Press On!

‘Press On.’
Philippians 3:14.
a) We press on.
b) To reach the end of the race.
c) To receive the Heavenly prize.
d) For which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
(This QT encourages me to Press On)
----------------------
‘The Pathway To Repentance.’
a) Psalm 73:21. Includes restoration for our bitter and wounded heart.
b) Numbers 21:7. May include a Body of God’s People.
c) 2 Samuel 24:10. Begins in a troubled conscience.
d) 2 Samuel 24:17; Isaiah 64:6. Includes taking personal responsibility for sin.

k) Lamentations 3:40. We:-
1- Test our ways.
2- Examine our ways.
3- Turn back to the Lord.
l) Matthew 4:17. Following Jesus, it was His Message too.
(Through this Second one I can clearly see The Pathway To Repentance)
----------------------
Chris.
Be encouraged to press on! We all face times when we feel like giving up and quitting. Sometimes we cannot understand why things happen. There are other times when other people wound or discourage us and we do not feel like pressing on. We need good Fellowship with people who are spiritually healthy True Believers, in that kind of Fellowship we can find encouragement to press on.

‘

A Painful Choice For Loving Parents!

‘A Painful Choice For Loving Parents.’
Proverbs 23:13-14.
a) Do not fail to discipline your children.
b) They will not die if you have to spank them sometimes.
c) If you discipline them you may save them from death.
(This QT teaches me A Painful Choice For Loving Parents yet it is a Biblical choice and not a cultural one)
---------------------
‘At The Time Of Taking Holy Communion.’
1 Corinthians 11:28.
a) Look into our own hearts.
b) Before we eat the bread.
c) Before we drink the cup.
(Through this Second one I clearly understand what I need to do At The Time Of Taking Holy Communion)
---------------------
Chris.
Sometimes, when making choices, there is some clash between Biblical choices and cultural choices. Some cultures are more “pure” than others and have been maintained throughout generations. Other cultures have been adulterated much more by the World system. What we need to remember is that all culture is fallen and people from all cultural backgrounds need to follow the teachings that are clearly given to us in the Word of God without compromise.

God Makes A Way Of Escape!

‘God Makes A Way Of Escape.’
1 Corinthians 10:13.
a) All temptations are common to all people.
b) God is Faithful.
c) God will not let us be tempted above what we are able to stand.
d) With the temptation God makes a way of escape.
e) Then we are able to bear it.
(Through this QT I know that God Makes A Way Of Escape)
--------------------
‘Ready To Stand In The Lord’s Victory.’
Ephesians 6:13.
a) We are to take the whole Armour of God.
b) We are to wear the whole Armour of God.
c) Then we can withstand in the evil day. (The evil day is any day when we face evil)
d) Having done everything we need to do on the evil day we can still stand because we have the whole Armour of God.
(This Second one helps me to be Ready To Stand In The Lord’s Victory)
--------------------
Chris.
We are able to bear temptations because God makes a way of escape from them. It is not our “spiritual strength” it is the Grace of God that He provides a way of escape for us. In this reality we are called to Trust God and walk with Him day by day.

Go On – We Are Not There Yet!

‘Go On – We Are Not There Yet.’
Philippians 3:12-13.
a) We are not complete yet.
b) We go on in the hope that we may come to the knowledge of that for which we were made servants of Christ Jesus.
c) We are not there yet but there is one thing that we do.
d) We let go of the things of the past.
e) We stretch out to the things which are before.
(Through this QT I am encouraged to Go On – I Am Not There Yet)
-------------------
‘Good Christian Behaviour.’
Romans 12:2.
a) Should not be like that of the people in the World system.
b) Should be transformed by the renewing of the mind.
c) Should be experienced as we have knowledge of the Purpose and Will of God which is:-
1- Good.
2- Pleasing.
3- Complete.
(This Second one calls me to Good Christian Behaviour, all True Believers are called to this)
-------------------
Chris.
We need to stretch out to the things that are before us. God puts many things before us that are challenges to our Faith. We need to reach out to these things and go forward after them. Christianity is not a passive religion. We have a race to run and a prize to win. Let us run well.

Actively Learn!

‘Actively Learn.’
Proverbs 23:12.
a) Commit ourselves.
b) To instruction.
c) Listen carefully.
d) To words of instruction.
(This QT reminds me to Actively Learn)
------------------
‘Exalted Lord Jesus Christ.’
Philippians 2:9-11.
a) Philippians 2:9. God has elevated Christ to the place of Highest Honour.
b) Philippians 2:9. God has given Christ the Name above all other names.
c) Philippians 2:10. At the Name of Jesus every knee will bow of those people who are:-
1- In Heaven.
2- On Earth.
3- Under the Earth.
d) Philippians 2:11. Every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father.
(This Second one gives me an understanding of the Exalted Jesus Christ)
------------------
Chris.
We need to commit ourselves as True Believers to the Lord in various specific ways. Committing ourselves to the Lord is not just a vague unspecific prayer about giving ourselves to God. When we commit ourselves to the Lord it is in specific ways. We respond to God and what He wants for our lives.

Original Deception!

‘Original Deception.’
1 Timothy 2:14.
a) It was not Adam who was deceived.
b) The woman was deceived.
c) The woman fell into transgression.
(This QT makes me understand the power and pattern of the Original Deception: as the Bible says that all people have sinned and come short of the Glory of God)
-----------------
‘Before The Lord Our Maker.’
Psalm 95:6.
a) Let us Worship.
b) Let us bow down.
c) Let us kneel.
(Through this Second one I see the correct response Before The Lord Our Maker)
-----------------
Chris.
It is a Biblical reality and simple fact that all people have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. We should realise this fact and as True Believers it should help us to live in a correct way that glorifies God. We do not have to live in habitual sin, we should live as God’s Beloved People.

I Want To Be In On The Resurrection!

‘I Want To Be In On The Resurrection.’
Philippians 3:10-11.
a) Giving up all inferior things so that we can know Christ personally.
b) Experience Christ’s Resurrection Power now.
c) Be a partner in Christ’s suffering.
d) Going all the way with Christ. (Whatever that entails)
e) Having a deep desire for personal Resurrection together with Christ.
(Through this QT, together with Apostle Paul, I Want To Be In On The Resurrection)
----------------
‘God’s Original Ways With People.’
Genesis 2:16.
a) This happened before the fall.
b) God.
c) Was:-
1- Commanding.
2- Warning.
3- Giving orders.
(Through this Second one: God’s Original Ways With People, I can see that people have needed to be totally dependent on God since the very beginning of Creation)
----------------
Chris.
A “death wish” is something that is really not healthy or correct for any human being to have. Jesus Christ came to bring life and not death. It is Biblical however, for True Believers to have a deep desire for personal Resurrection together with Christ. We have an Eternity to live for and then to live in.

The Saviour Does Not Like Injustice!

‘The Saviour Does Not Like Injustice.’
Proverbs 23:10-11.
a) Do not let the landmark of the widow be moved.
b) Do not go into the fields and cheat those people who have no father to protect them.
c) Their Saviour is strong and powerful.
d) He will take up their cause against you.
(Through this QT I clearly know and will proclaim that The Saviour Does Not Like Injustice)
---------------
‘Our Defeated Enemy’
Revelation 12:9.
a) Is the great dragon.
b) Is the old snake.
c) The evil one.
d) Satan.
e) The one by whom all the Earth is turned from the right way.
(This Second one reminds me that I must overcome My Defeated Enemy; thank God this enemy is defeated but he is not yet eradicated and extinguished)
---------------
Chris.
The things that we know about the Lord we can have confidence to proclaim. If we do not have the assurance and confidence it is difficult to proclaim anything with real conviction. This is one of the reasons that a good personal QT time is one of the ways to gain assurance and confidence in our relationship with God.

The Elders!

‘The Elders.’
a) Hebrews 11:2. Through their faith gained a good reputation.
b) Acts 2:17. Will dream dreams in the last days.
c) Acts 11:30. Should be good stewards of Church Finance.
d) Acts 14:23. Should Trust in the Lord Who will care for them.
e) Acts 15:2. Should be able to deal with conflicts in the Church.
f) 1 Timothy 5:17. Who do their work well should be respected.
g) Titus 1:5. Need to be appointed in every town where there are True Believers.
h) James 5:14. Should be men of Prayer that also minister to the sick people of the Church.
i) 1 Peter 5:5. Should have authority that is recognised in the Church and be humble.
j) Revelation 4:10. Should Worship the Lord)
(This QT gives me a desire to Pray for The Elders that I know)
--------------
‘A Pattern Of Temptation.’
Genesis 3:1-7.
a) Genesis 3:1. Satan gets the person he is tempting to doubt God’s Word.
b) Genesis 3:2-3. An inaccurate understanding of God’s Word makes us spiritually weak.
c) Genesis 3:4-5. Satan’s lies.
d) Genesis 3:6. Sin is committed.
e) Genesis 3:7. Sin’s consequences change lives in a negative way.
(Through this Second one I see A Pattern Of Temptation)
--------------
Chris.
Elders who do their work well should be respected. I am sad when I hear of good Elders being derided in the Churches. This is not how God intends it to be. There are some people in the Churches who have been wounded in some way by authority figures and they hold something against authority figures for many years. This kind of opposition can make it difficult for Biblical Elders to function well.

That We May Gain Christ!

‘That We May Gain Christ.’
Philippians 3:8-9.
If we really want to experience Christ in our lives, it is good for us to follow the example of Apostle Paul.
a) Consider all things to be loss because of the surpassing greatness of the Knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord.
b) To be ready to suffer the loss of all things and consider them dung in order that we may gain Christ.
c) To be found in Christ not having our own righteousness which may be from our own philosophical or religious background, but having the Righteousness from God on the basis of Faith.
(This challenging QT teaches me the way That I May Gain Christ from the example of Apostle Paul)
-------------
‘Our Heavenly Father Knows Our Needs.’
Matthew 6:31-34.
a) Matthew 6:31. We should not be anxious saying or thinking what shall we:-
1- Eat.
2- Drink.
3- Wear.
b) Matthew 6:32. We should not follow the pagan way.
c) Matthew 6:32. Our Heavenly Father knows our needs.
d) Matthew 6:33. Our part is to seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and then all these things shall be added to us.
e) Matthew 6:34. We should not be anxious for tomorrow.
f) Matthew 6:34. Tomorrow will be anxious for itself.
g) Matthew 6:34. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
(Through this Second one I have confidence because My Heavenly Father Knows My Needs)
-------------
Chris.
Many good and nice people live in their own righteousness which comes from their own philosophical or religious background. I can enjoy meeting these people very much. They are, in the main, good people. This however does not give them standing with the living God. What we need as True Believers is the Righteousness from God on the basis of Faith.

Do Not Waste Our Wisdom!

‘Do Not Waste Our Wisdom.’
Proverbs 23:9.
a) Do not speak in the ears of a foolish person.
b) The foolish person will despise.
c) The Wisdom of your words.
(This QT reminds me: Do Not Waste My Wisdom)
------------
‘The Good People And The Wicked People.’
Proverbs 12:2-3.
a) The good person in the Eyes of the Lord has:-
1- Favour.
2- Approval.
3- Grace.
b) The person of mischievous devices the Lord will punish and condemn.
c) A person shall not be established by wickedness and evil doing.
d) The root shall never be removed of the people who are:-
1- Righteous.
2- Upright.
3- Godly.
(This QT clearly defines the outcome of the lives of The Good People And The Wicked People)
------------
Chris.
The Lord sees every person in the whole World. We have no doubt about that. He always knows what is going on, whether it be in the night or the day. He know when both good and evil are being practised. The Lord does not just see the “now” but He sees and plans ahead too.

Loving And Trusting!

‘Loving And Trusting.’
a) Matthew 1:24-25. Joseph loved his wife and trusted and obeyed the Lord.
b) John 13:34. We are to Love one another even as Christ Loved us.
c) John 15:13. The greatest Love is that we give up our life for our friends.
d) Galatians 5:6. In Christ Jesus the only thing that profits is Faith working through Love.
e) Romans 12:10. Be kind to one another with brotherly Love.
(Through this QT I see the importance of Loving And Trusting)
-----------
‘Blessed By Trusting The Lord.’
Psalm 34:10.
a) The young lions maybe in need.
b) The young lions may have no food.
c) But those people who are looking to and Trusting the Lord.
d) Will have every good thing.
(This Second one reminds me that I will be Blessed By Trusting The Lord)
-----------
Chris.
Faith works through Love. If a person says that they have Faith but they do not have Love then their Faith is dysfunctional. Kindness works through Love. If a person shows Kindness but does not have Love then their Kindness is artificial.

Christ Did Something In His Life!

‘Christ Did Something In His Life.’
Philippians 3:4-7.
a) Philippians 3:4. Humanly, before he knew Christ, Apostle Paul could have had strong confidence in his own efforts.
b) Philippians 3:5. Apostle Paul:-
1- Was circumcised when he was eight days old.
2- Was a pure blooded citizen of Israel.
3- Was a member of the Tribe of Benjamin.
4- Was a real Hebrew if ever there was one.
5- Was a member of the Pharisees, They demand strictest obedience to the Jewish Law.
c) Philippians 3:6. He was so zealous that he harshly persecuted the Church.
d) Philippians 3:6. As for Righteousness Apostle Paul obeyed the Law without fault.
e) Philippians 3:7. Formerly Apostle Paul thought these things were valuable.
f) Philippians 3:8. Something changed! Apostle Paul was now able to say that all these things were worthless because of what Christ had done in and for him.
(Through this QT I am greatly encouraged by the testimony of Apostle Paul that Christ Did Something In His Life)
-----------
‘A Defeated Foe.’
a) Matthew 4:10-11. When Jesus told Satan to get out he had to go.
b) John 12:31. Jesus said that Satan will be cast out.
c) Colossians 2:15. Jesus shamed the spiritual rulers and authorities by His Victory over them on the Cross.
d) 1 John 3:8. The Son of God came to destroy the works of the Devil.
e) Hebrews 2:14. Through Christ’s death, the power of the Devil, who had the power of death, was broken.
(Through this Second one I know that Satan, our spiritual enemy, is broken because he is A Defeated Foe)
-----------
Chris.
Our enemy Satan is a defeated foe. Even though he still tries to trouble both the Nations and us the reality is that he is defeated by the Death of Jesus at the Cross. The Bible Promises us Victory over every temptation. The Bible Promises us Peace for our hearts and homes because Satan is a defeated foe.

Only The Lord Can Transform A Whore!

‘Only The Lord Can Transform A Whore.’
Proverbs 23:7-8.
Dictionary definitions of the word whore:-
1. A prostitute.
2. A person who is considered sexually promiscuous.
3. A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain.
a) A whore is a deep ditch.
b) A promiscuous woman is as dangerous as falling into a narrow well.
c) A whore lies in wait as for a prey.
d) A whore increases transgressors among men.
(Through this QT I know that Only The Lord Can Transform A Whore)
----------
‘Stronger Than The Strong Man.’
Matthew 12:22-29.
a) Matthew 12:22. They brought to Jesus a man:-
1- Possessed with the Devil.
2- Blind.
3- Dumb.
b) Matthew 12:22. Jesus healed this man so that he could both see and speak.
c) Matthew 12:23. All the people were amazed and said that this was the Son of David.
d) Matthew 12:24. The Pharisees accused Jesus of casting out devils by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
e) Matthew 12:25. Jesus knew their thoughts and replied that any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed. A town or family splintered by feuding would fall apart.
f) Matthew 12:26. If Satan were to cast out Satan his house would be divided against itself. Like that how could Satan’s kingdom stand?
g) Matthew 12:27. Jesus asked the Pharisees about their own ministering exorcists. These people also attempted to cast out demons. They would also condemn the Pharisees for what they said.
h) Matthew 12:28; Romans 14:17-18. If Jesus was casting out demons by the Spirit of God then the Kingdom of God was amongst the people.
i) Matthew 12:29. Bind the strong man first then his house can be entered.
(Through this Second one I Praise Jesus Who is Stronger Than The Strong Man)
----------
Chris.
It is impossible for Satan to cast out Satan. Some religious people make the same accusations today about the ministry of deliverance from evil spirits as the Pharisees did in the days of Jesus Christ. All ministries should be both Biblical and balanced. If this ministry is necessary it should be executed in such a way that the Kingdom of God is extended. That means more Righteousness, more Peace and more Joy.

The Nature Of Our Enemy!

‘The Nature Of Our Enemy.’

a) He is a great dragon.
b) He is an ancient serpent called the Devil.
c) He is Satan.

---------
‘Our Authority In Jesus Christ.’
Luke 10:19.
a) Authority to defeat and tread on serpents. (Environmental safety)
b) Authority to defeat and tread on scorpions. (Environmental safety)
c) Authority over all the power of the enemy. (Spiritual and environmental safety)
d) Nothing from the enemy need (emotional, spiritual and environmental):-
1- Hurt us.
2- Damage us.
3- Injure us.
(Through this Second one I am reminded of My Authority In Jesus Christ)
---------
Chris.
We need not be afraid of the great dragon. Rather we should have the Fear of the Lord. Our lives are not dictated to by a calendar or a fortune telling system which would tell us our “fate” at a certain time. Our lives are in the Hands of God and no one can take us out of His Hands.

The True Circumcision!

‘The True Circumcision.’
Philippians 3:2-3.

p) Romans 1:20. Through His Creation we can clearly see God’s Eternal Power.

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the First fruit of God’s Harvest. All True Believers will be Resurrected if they died in the Lord before His Coming.

A Good Way For Father And Son Relationships!

‘A Good Way For Father And Son Relationships.’
Proverbs 23:26.
a) My son! This indicates a healthy personal relationship. The father is so happy to call his son ‘my son’ and not just ‘son’.
b) This son can safely give his heart to his father.
c) This son’s eyes take delight in his father’s ways, he learns from the good example set by his father.
(In this QT I find A Good Way For Father And Son Relationships)
-------
‘The Disciples Together Were A Ministry Team.’
Luke 9:1.
a) Jesus called the twelve Disciples together. He did not instruct them individually.
b) He gave THEM Power.
c) He gave THEM Authority.
d) Their Power and Authority was:-
1- Over all evil spirits.
2- Over all diseases.
3- To make people well. (In all ways)
(This QT greatly encourages me about the Team Ministries of the Church: The Disciples Together Were A Ministry Team)
-------
Chris.
Healthy personal relationships within a family are very important and helpful for all family members. This does not just mean parents together and children together. It means the whole family. Everyone belongs to the family and should be able to relate to one another well.

God Really Made A Plan!

b) The Son (Jesus) also became flesh and blood.
c) Only as a human being could Jesus die.
d) Only by dying could Jesus break the power of the Devil.
e) The devil had the power of death but that power is now broken by Jesus.
(This Second one reveals to me and reminds me that Jesus The Son Of God Totally Identified With Us)
----------------
Chris.
God’s Salvation is not like the New Year sales. At this time, here in Aberdeen, where my wife and I now live, it is New Year sales time. People are hunting and jostling for bargains in the big stores. Many of them have no real shopping plan but are just bargain hunters. God’s Salvation is not like that. First of all, God’s Salvation is free, purchased for us at the Cross by Jesus Christ. Secondly, God’s Salvation Plan for us has been made since before the World began.

Heed The Advice Of God’s Word!

‘Heed The Advice Of God’s Word.’
Philippians 3:1.
a) This begins a conclusion to Apostle Paul’s letter to the Church of Philippi.
b) Delight yourselves in the Lord.
c) This advice is being repeated because it is necessary and important.
d) If this advice if followed it will be a great safeguard for your souls.
(Through this QT I understand how important it is to Heed The Advice Of God’s Word)
---------------
‘No More Lawlessness.’
a) 2 Thessalonians 2:8. The “man of lawlessness” will be defeated by Jesus Christ.
b) Psalm 119:150. Lawless people may try to attack us but they cannot win.
c) Acts 2:23. The Gentiles at the time of Jesus Christ were lawless people. Now many of them have become True Believers.
d) 1 Timothy 1:9. God’s Law is intended for lawless people.
e) Hebrews 10:17. When God forgives us our sins He will never again remember them or our lawless deeds.
(This Second one reminds me that it is possible for there to be No More Lawlessness in my life)
---------------
Chris.
God’s Word is very clear and not difficult to understand for the mature True Believer. God’s Word gives us wonderful and practical advice if we would only heed it. To appreciate God’s Word we need to be able to delight ourselves in the Lord. As we do this the Scripture also Promises us that God will give us the desires of our heart.

A Wise And Righteous Child Is A Blessing!

‘A Wise And Righteous Child Is A Blessing.’
Proverbs 23:24-25.
a) The father of such a child will greatly Rejoice.

d) Mother also will Rejoice.
(This QT teaches me that A Wise And Righteous Child Is A Blessing)
--------------

(Through this Second one I Praise and Thank God for Jesus Christ The Victor)
--------------
Chris.
The father of a Wise and Righteous child will greatly Rejoice. This is an established fact where there is a normal and healthy relationship between the father and his child. In these days of family breakdown there are many reasons (which I will not list here) that children feel rejected because of lack of proper attention from pure and godly fathers. This breakdown of relationship can sometimes affect the child both in the area of wisdom and also righteousness.
