FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF
GOD REMAIN BLESSED.
PROPER CONDUCT IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD
APRIL Sunday 4th
TEXT: EPHESIANS 5:3-4,
Key Verse: “Keep thy foot when thou
goest to the house of God and be more ready to hear than to give the
sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil” Ecclesiastes 5:1
Some people go to church and walk up
and down instead of settling down one place to hear the word of God and
participate fully in the worship service. Some take the excuse of going to ease
themselves and after that instead of coming straight inside the church, they
while away time outside to discuss, gossip, backbite with friends who are also
outside. Hence there are usually many people outside the church, doing
whatever pleases them, while worship is going on inside. Some go to church to
make friends or meet old friends, some to look for a life partner and therefore
are careless about the worship going on in the church service. Many people go
to church for different purposes – some go to do business, seek job
connections hence their mind is not in the worship service their attention is
divided. Others go to showcase new clothes, new shoes, new car etc. some go to
look for healing, deliverance, miracle and breakthrough, not Jesus, not the
word of God that will grant them eternal life. Some go late and leave before
closing all for flimsy excuses. Man! Why are you so earthly minded? Why are you
living for the mundane things of this world? Do you know that you have another
life to live eternally after this earth?
Some go to church to dance. The church
is the place to learn new styles of dance. The Bible says that the church is
the pillar and ground of truth, but they have turned it into the dancing theatre to
display unholy dances. Many go to church, pay much money to travel for
conferences and come back empty because something else took away their
attention rather than Jesus that they ought to seek. Some though seated
quietly their minds are over flogged with many things, their mind is outside
the church while some are busy dozing. Repent from all these attitudes and seek
Jesus sincerely when you go to His presence, pay attention to the word of God
which will grant you eternal life. No discussion, no jesting, no noise making
in His holy presence.
Thought for the day: Maintain
cleanliness in the house of God
