His Abiding Word - Pastor William Kumuyi


Key Verse: “These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me” (Deuteronomy 5:22).

Text: Deuteronomy 5:16-22

Books, documents and records are often subjected to periodic reviews. These are usually done to remove such information that are no longer relevant either as a result of new discoveries or as a result of changes that occur in the world.

However, there remains one book that has cut across all human history and does not have any need for review. This is the Bible! As Moses repeated the Ten Commandments earlier given to the children of Israel to this new generation, he reminded them that these were the same laws God gave to their fathers. Though time may have changed and forty years passed, God’s law and demand from them still remain the same. For them to retain God’s favour and have all things go well with them, they must keep to these words. This is even more so as they were getting ready to move into the Land of Canaan. Change of environment, mixture with a new set of people, culture and practices must not make them change from this time-tested truth. There are many professing Christians today who are directly or indirectly calling for a change of the truths of the Scriptures.


Their argument has been that since our world has changed in so many ways, some of the Bible truths and commandments must also change. As a result, they have taken on new practices that are alien to the word of God. They now read, understand and interpret the Scriptures in the light of present-day realities.

To them, sanctity of moral life has been laid aside with prime issues of righteousness and holiness explained away. It is for this reason that the Lord reminds everyone again that nothing has changed in His word. If we are to continue to enjoy God’s favour, we must continue to keep His unchanging words.

Thought for the day: 
Eternal truths are as constant as daybreak.

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
