TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 4:1-11
TOPIC: BEWARE OF FALSE TEACHERS

1 TIMOTHY 4:1-11 NIV

1:The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.

2:Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.

3:They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.

4:For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,

5:because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

6:If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.

7:Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.

8:For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

9:This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance.

10:That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.

11:Command and teach these things.

BEWARE OF FALSE TEACHERS

The Bible is full of warnings about the events that will characterize the end times.

One of such is an increase in lies which will make people fall victims of false teaching.

People will follow deceiving spirits and teachings of demons which will teach different things that will affect the faith of brethren on matters of marriage, eating certain foods and many more.

These people are referred to as hypocritical liars, they were brethren who abandon the faith and want others go the same way with them.

We must separate ourselves from such people and train ourselves to be godly as we draw the attention of brethren to such people whenever we have the opportunity to do so.

QUESTION: Whenever you encounter a person teaching wrong doctrines, what do you do?

PRAYER: Deliver Your children from false teachers who have taken over Your church with their false teaching and help us to refute the falsehood they teach as we struggle to live godly lives, in Jesus' name. Amen.

TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 3:14-16
TOPIC: ORDERLINESS IN THE CHURCH*l

1 TIMOTHY 3:14-16 NIV

14:Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that,

15:if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

16:Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great:

ORDERLINESS IN THE CHURCH

The Church today seems to be scattered and unorganized because people do whatever they want on the pretext that they have liberty in the house of God.

The songs that we sing, the people that we ordain and the activities that we allow have caused some confusion among serious-minded believers.

Paul instructed Timothy that orderliness in the household of God should be based on the pillar of truth.

God expects us to develop a true sense of order for proper conduct in the church.

We should therefore develop a true sense of discipline and bring the needed order so that the Church of God will be a better place for worship.

QUESTION: Is there proper order in the Church today?

PRAYER: Help me contribute my quota in bringing order to Your church, dear Lord, so that the beauty of Your purpose will be revealed to the world. Amen.

TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 3:1-13
TOPIC: QUALIFICATIONS OF LEADERS

1 TIMOTHY 3:1-13 NIV

1:Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task.

2:Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

3:not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.

4:He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect.

5:(If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?)

6:He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.

7:He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.

8:In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain.

9:They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience.

10:They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.

11:In the same way, the women are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything.

12:A deacon must be faithful to his wife and must manage his children and his household well.

13:Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.

QUALIFICATIONS OF LEADERS

Church leaders direct and lead people into meaningful relationships with Him.

God called leaders from the very beginning and will continue to select leaders that will follow His leading for His purposes to be fulfilled.

Paul instructed Timothy to understand the importance of selecting leaders with proven integrity and listed the qualifications of such leaders so that the Church will be guided accordingly.

God is seeking men who have not dragged their integrity through the mud to provide leadership so that the Church will continue to grow.

Therefore, we need to select Church leaders who will lead by their life styles.

QUESTION: What are the qualities of the people we have select as our Church leaders?

PRAYER: Help your Church to select leaders that will represent Christ by their lifestyle in Jesus name. Amen.

TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 1:18-20
TOPIC: PRACTICE YOUR FAITH

1 TIMOTHY 1:18-20 NIV

18:Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well,

19:holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.

20:Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.

PRACTICE YOUR FAITH

The Christian is called to fight a good fight of faith. This is because the Christian life is a race as well as a battle against the forces of darkness.

Satan is always fighting to make sure we detract from the journey that we have started with the Lord.

Paul encouraged Timothy to hold unto faith and good conscience as he continues to live and lead the people.

God expects us to practice our faith by not only talking about it but live differently from the people of the world.

When we begin to practice our faith, many other people would join us in service to God.

QUESTION: How impactful is your faith in the community you live?

PRAYERS: Father in heaven, please grant me the ability to practice my faith so that others will be drawn to You by my lifestyle. Amen.

TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 1:12-17
TOPIC: YOU ARE AN EMBODIMEN OF GRACE

1 TIMOTHY 1:12-17 NIV

12:I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service.

13:Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.

14:The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

15:Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.

16:But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.

17:Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

YOU ARE AN EMBODIMENT OF GRACE

God's grace is one great act that cannot be fully explained or understood by man.

People simply define grace as an unmerited favour, meaning that those who receive it do not merit it in any way. That is true. But grace is more than that.

God has reached out to all who have accepted Him as their Lord and personal saviour with His grace so that all their sins are washed away and are invited into a new relationship with Him.

Paul spoke about the grace of God that reached him even when he was a sinner as well as the persecutor of the Church. All Christians have received the same mercy from God and are expected to appreciate Him as they live their lives and draw others to Him so that they can also experience this same grace.

QUESTION: How do you celebrate God's grace in your life?

PRAYERS: Father in heaven, please help me to reciprocate Your grace in my life and help me to explain it to those who have not experienced this grace, in Jesus' name. Amen

TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 1:1-11
TOPIC: DILIGENTLY STUDY GOD’S WORD

1 TIMOTHY 1:1-11 NIV

1:Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,

2:To Timothy my true son in the faith:

3:As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer

4:or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work—which is by faith.

5:The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

6:Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk.

7:They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.

8:We know that the law is good if one uses it properly.

9:We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers,

10:for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine

11:that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.

DILIGENTLY STUDY GOD’S WORD

The days are full of falsehood and false teachings which are leading many to commit atrocities that hinder the manifestation of God's power.

The Church is filled with many people who claim to be called by God but have become agents of Satan who teach falsehood which has led many people astray.

Paul drew Timothy’s attention to the need to refute falsehood and false teachers in Ephesus because he wanted to protect the people from teachings that would destroy them.

We must adopt the attitude of the Bereans who studied the scriptures to confirm whatever they were told.

We must also become good friends with the Bible in order to decipher truths from falsehood and live a happy life.

QUESTION: Do you possess the inner discipline needed to study the Word or do you just depend on others to guide you?

PRAYER: Give me the discipline required to understand You through Your Word and not depend on people who will lead me astray through false teachings, in Jesus' name. Amen

TEXT: PROVERBS 14:34
TOPIC: RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS A NATION

PROVERBS 14:34 NIV

34. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.

RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS A NATION

Nigerians celebrate today as the day we gained independence to govern ourselves.

Today's passage is a recipe beneficial for our nation if every citizen plays their role. Righteousness is needed to make our nation great.

But when we continue to perpetrated atrocities, we shall only receive reproach, not blessings.

Righteousness means to “do things the right way.” If every citizen begins to do things the way it should be done, everything will work well for our nation.

If our leaders begin to practice righteousness, the blessings that God has set for our nation will be released and enjoyed.

As we celebrate another independence day, we must shun all evil acts and work towards righteousness so that our nation can become great again.

QUESTION: As a citizen, have your steps been righteous?

PRAYERS: Grant me the grace to understand that I have a role to play in making my nation great again and grant me the enablement to do the right things, even if all others are doing wrong, in Jesus’ name. Amen

TEXT: ZECHARIAH 14:1-20
TOPIC: GOD IS SOVEREIGN

ZECHARIAH 14:1-20 NIV

1:A day of the Lord is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions will be plundered and divided up within your very walls.

2:I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women r***d. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.

3:Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle.

4:On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.

5:You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.

6:On that day there will be neither sunlight nor cold, frosty darkness.

7:It will be a unique day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night. When evening comes, there will be light.

8:On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.

9:The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.

10:The whole land, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, will become like the Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up high from the Benjamin Gate to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses, and will remain in its place.

11:It will be inhabited; never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.

12:This is the plague with which the Lord will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

13:On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another.

14:Judah too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing.

15:A similar plague will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.

16:Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.

17:If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain.

18:If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord will bring on them the plague he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.

19:This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.

20:On that day holy to the Lord will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots in the Lord’s house will be like the sacred bowls in front of the altar.

GOD IS SOVEREIGN

God can manifest Himself to the world in many ways. His sovereignty is not fully understood by people, even those in close relationships with Him.

He revealed to Prophet Zechariah that He will gather all the nations to fight against Jerusalem, they will take some of His people into captivity, r**e some of the women and commit many other atrocities but He will rescue them and manifest Himself so powerfully that many people will bow before Him and come to Jerusalem in search of His blessings.

Because God sometimes manifests Himself in ways that seem mysterious, we ask why He does so or why He allows evil to befall those called by His name.

The simple answer to these questions is that the God we serve is sovereign and does whatever He desires for His own glory. We must, therefore, trust Him, even amidst our confusion, so that His glory will manifest in our lives.

QUESTION: How do you always react in the face of God’s mysterious ways?

PRAYER: Help me, dear Father, to understand Your sovereignty, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

ZECHARIAH 13:1-9 NIV

1:“On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.

2:“On that day, I will banish the names of the idols from the land, and they will be remembered no more,” declares the Lord Almighty. “I will remove both the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.

3:And if anyone still prophesies, their father and mother, to whom they were born, will say to them, ‘You must die, because you have told lies in the Lord’s name.’ Then their own parents will stab the one who prophesies.

4:“On that day every prophet will be ashamed of their prophetic vision. They will not put on a prophet’s garment of hair in order to deceive.

5:Each will say, ‘I am not a prophet. I am a farmer; the land has been my livelihood since my youth.’

6:If someone asks, ‘What are these wounds on your body?’ they will answer, ‘The wounds I was given at the house of my friends.’

7:“Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!” declares the Lord Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones.

8:In the whole land,” declares the Lord, “two-thirds will be struck down and perish; yet one-third will be left in it.

9:This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’”

RESTORATION

We started talking about God’s desire to restore His people to their proper place of fellowship with Him because of the great desire He has to meet with them.

This fellowship was destroyed by the Fall in the Garden of Eden (Gen 3). Mankind continued in disobedience and sin which separated them from God.

The people of Judah also indulged in this same disobedience but God brought them back through the fountain He opened which cleansed them from all sins and impurities.

He spoke through the prophet that He would banish all the idols that took their minds away from Him as well as punish the prophets that deceived them. This will make the remnants re-establish a sound relationship with Him again.

QUESTION: Which idols and false prophets led you away from God?

PRAYER: God, please open my eyes to the deceptions of false prophets and grant me the grace to run away from any idols that may draw my heart away from You, in Jesus' name. Amen

SUNDAY, 28 SEPTEMBER
TEXT: ZECHARIAH 12:10-14
TOPIC: HE STILL LOVES TO FELLOWSHIP WITH YOU

Because God desires to have a close relationship with His people, He releases Himself to everyone who carefully and honestly seeks Him.

Because of His love for His children, He forgives and draws them close to Him each time they come in repentance before Him.

Prophet Zechariah spoke about the grace God will release upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem and how they will seek Him in supplication and return to Him, pierced by their attitudes of rebellion and rejection.

They will also grieve and weep because their eyes will be opened to the atrocities they have committed.

Each time God opens your eyes to the sins you have committed, you need to weep, seeking His cleansing touch to re-connect and build a better relationship with Him.

QUESTION:
How do you react whenever God reveals your sins to you?

PRAYER:
Release Your spirit to take me to the place of understanding my weaknesses and grant me all that is needed to turn to You for cleansing every day of my life, in Jesus’ name. Amen
