Topic: WHO IS IN CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE?
Text: Read: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Daily Bible Study: Gen. 9-10; Matt. 3

“The earth is the LORD’S, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein” (Ps. 24:1).

When you say that Jesus is Lord of your life, are you living a life in submission to His lordship or do you still try to manipulate events to your own advantage? 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says “…Ye are not your own; for ye are bought with a price.” That price was not cheap – Jesus Christ died so we could enter God's Kingdom. We need to submit to God's authority as Lord and Creator of all things. “For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lords” (Rom. 14:8).
Our Lord is not a cruel master but a just and loving God. He protects us from harm and always blesses us. Yet He is a jealous God who demands our full commitment to Him. To be a faithful servant to God, we must surrender our lives and yield in obedience to Him. God knows the limits of our abilities, and He provides the strength and power to do His work. Let God be the Lord of your life. Although this total submission is frightening and you may be hesitant to relinquish control, you will quickly find that true freedom lies in submitting fully to God.
See God as your Leader and Lord and not simply as a wish-granter for your desires. Make God the Lord of your life and you will see wonders happen in every aspect of your life.

Prayer: Almighty God, please give me strength and faith to trust and obey You in all things. Soften my heart to Your Lordship, I pray in Jesus’ name - Amen.

Good morning Beloved Brethren, Date: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2018 Topic: WALLS OF PROTECTION Text: Read: Proverbs 25:28 Daily Bible Study: Lev. 20-21; Matt. 28 “He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls” (Prov. 25:28). In Old Testament times, walls around a city were a symbol of strength and security. Without walls, a town would be left open to easy attack, not just from humans, but even from wild animals. When Prophet Nehemiah realized that the walls around the city of Jerusalem were in ruins, he wept and mourned certain days; fasted and prayed before the God of heaven (Neh. 1:4). As it is to a city, so it is to an individual; a person who has no self-control is like a city without walls. He or she is open to enemy attacks at any given moment. When we fail to exercise self-control, the spirits of lying, gossips, backbiting, hatred, tribalism, racism, jealousy, rage, frustration, bearing false witness, and more, can enter our...

POLITICS (PLEASE POST YOUR OPINION) Donald Trump will tonight hand out his inaugural ‘fake news awards’ to the media outlets that have most angered him during his first year as President. The Commander in Chief announced the bizarre ceremony in a tweet late Tuesday, writing: ‘I will be announcing THE MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR on Monday at 5:00 o’clock. ‘Subjects will cover Dishonesty & Bad Reporting in various categories from the Fake News Media. Stay tuned!’ President Trump has been most vociferous in attacking CNN for its supposed ‘fake news’, with the network widely expected to win the majority of gongs. The awards are likely to be ‘handed out’ in a series of scathing tweets from Mr Trump, and it is unclear whether he will present winners with any sort of booby prize. He popularized the term fake news during his White House run, using it to attack reports whose facts he disputes. But Trump’s critics claim it is an easy way of shouting down va...
