TOPIC: THE RACE OF HEAVEN REQUIRES DILIGENCE
TEXT: Psalm 119:1-4
KEY VERSE: Deuteronomy 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt diligently hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all His commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all the nations of the earth.
As anointed as Paul was, when he was reproved for his error of speaking against the high priest, he humbly apologized to correct the wrong he had done, otherwise his labour in God’s vineyard would have been in vain (Acts 23:1-5). Apostle Paul exercised all diligence to live a blameless and holy life before God and in the sight of men. Acts 24:16 “And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.” It was not only Paul, all the apostles lived diligently in consciousness of their heavenly race. Paul testified to this in 1 Thessalonians 2:10, “Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe.” In all their conversations, there was no carnality as they walked with godly sincerity in the fear of God. 2 Corinthians 1:12, 2:17 “For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. 2:17: For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
Paul’s prayer and labour over the believers is that they too should be holy and blameless before God and man and that he might present every man to God perfect in Christ Jesus. 1Thessalonians 3:10- 13: 10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith? 11 Now God Himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. 12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:13 To the end He may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints. Diligent holy living is the minimum standard required of every true believer that is desirous of going to heaven. Strive to meet this standard.
Thought for the day: Make diligent holy living your daily lifestyle.
Song for the day: I will never, never end my journey halfway
Bible reading for the day:
Number 3-4; Mark 3:22-35
