TOPIC: DO NOT SUCCUMB TO THE COMPELLING INFLUENCE OF THE WORLD

TEXT: 1 John 2:15-17

Key verse: John17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

The Society is not a good teacher because it has lost its moral value. Ecclesiastes 7:29; Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. There is so much perverseness among men that they see what is wrong as right and promote iniquity above righteousness. God frowns seriously at such moral debasement. Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. This explains why women now practically dress half naked in the name of fashion and majority see nothing wrong with it.

Politicians who steal public funds are celebrated and they even draw large crowd of sympathizers in the court when prosecuted. It is such negative influence of the majority that now make people to engage in all kinds of evil, thinking it is the right way to live.

• While God seeks obedience, majority seek convenience
• While God seeks the truth, majority love lies
• While God dwells in the light, majority love the deeds of darkness
• While God seeks patience, majority want quick result
• While God focuses on the future, majority seek immediate benefit
• While God seeks righteousness in all dealings, to the majority, the end justifies the means.

It is the negative influence of the majority that leads people into error. Sin is no longer seen as sin and very few people accept the possibility of living a pure and holy life.

• Workers steal from their employers because they see others stealing
• Children lie because they see their parents lying to each other
• Students cheat in exam hall because it is the norm in the school
• Husbands cheat on their wives because it is the vogue among men.

Jesus says, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
Jesus is the only true friend you have, listen to Him and follow Him.

Thought for the day: Listen to the Spirit of Jesus and follow Him even if you have to stand alone.

Song for the day :Where He leads me I will follow…

Bible reading for the day:
1Kings 3-5; Luke 23:1-26

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be

For taking your time to study remain blessed. April Monday 27th TOPIC: TESTIMONY OF RESTITUTION OF FALSIFIED RECORDS by Sis Bosede Ogwurike TEXT: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KEY VERSE: Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. After accepting the Lord Jesus as my Lord and personal Saviour as a young girl I so much enjoyed the Lord, but at a particular time in my life I entangled myself with so many sins: fornication, abortions, misconduct in two of my undergraduate examination papers, falsification of age, falsification of results in my undergraduate research project and other sins that later required restitution. This created a big vacuum in my life. I no longer enjoyed the presence of God as before and sometimes when I prayed for restoration and revival, I would hear a voice clearly in my spirit saying, “Go and report yourself.” This I did not
