His Abiding Word - Pastor William Kumuyi

By

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.

Can you ruin your destiny?

By
God had something in mind when He created you, right? But what if you’ve screwed up? Dropped out? Quit before it was over? Maybe you decided to do your own thing, it didn’t work out, and now you’re just sucking air and hoping there’s still hope. Guess what? There is! For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn. (Romans 11:29 NLT) You don’t even have to start over. Every single thing you failed at? God will use it. (Romans 8:28) Every shot you called that was way off? God will repurpose it. (Proverbs 19:21) Every weakness you thought you had to hide? God’s power will show through it. (2 Corinthians 12:9) God created you for good works. As soon as you quit the past and sell out for Jesus, those works will happen. (Ephesians 2:10) He’s establishing you, step by step. (Proverbs 16:9) God’s a good Father. He knows how to bring you back and take you further than you ever imagined. (Ephesians 3:20) Spend some time really reflecting on these truths. What do you secretly hope is p...

Marriage Booster: Do You Still Love Her/Him ?

By
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25 KJV "This is what I love about you" In the beginning you love everything about him. You are captivated by his six pack, his spirit of adventure, and his lion’s heart. In the beginning you love everything about her. You go crazy with the swing of her hips, a wink or a chewy chocolate cake baked especially for you. One day you wake up. Daily routine has shattered your rose-tinted glasses. “His six pack is not so hot anymore, instead his joints creak with every move.” Or: “It would be better if she swung her hips into a gym one of these days.” You realize: “My partner has changed.” Fortunately! He isn’t standing still. The problem is not the change but rather, that you are a creature of habit. It is your task to rediscover your partner and to simultaneously not forget why you went up the aisle with sparkling eyes to marry your bride/groom. MARRIAGE BOOSTER Write d...

Called to Be Peculiar

By
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (John 17:15-16) Being peculiar. That's not something most of us work to achieve, is it? But, you know, we should. God has called us to be peculiar—to stand out from the rest of the world as living proof of His power and His love (1 Peter 2:9). He doesn't, for example, want us to share the ailments of the world. He doesn't want us to share their sickness and poverty and failure. He's never wanted that for His people. He gave us a physical illustration of that during the time the nation of Israel was held captive in Egypt. Pharaoh had refused to set the Israelites free, so God had allowed a thick darkness to cover the whole land. The darkness was so dreadful throughout Egypt that no one moved for three days. "But," says Exodus 10:23, "all the children of Israel had light in their ...
