JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS BEHEADED TO REWARD A DANCER

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN.

24TH MONDAY JANUARY


TEXT: MARK 6: 14-28 
Key Verse: Mark 14: 22-And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
Dancers always make effort to improve on their performance to show expertise and excellence. We see in this account the inspiration and power of dancing. Herod and the others who watched her were pleased, inspired, fascinated, absorbed and captured by her performance. Her dance aroused their emotions and Herod was moved to utter a promise which he would not have made in his sound mind that led to t evil action. John the Baptist was beheaded and his head was given to her to reward her dance! Ungodly dancing is not practised only in social parties but presently in the church. Her dance is not for God and His worship; for she knows not the Lord. Her dance in the church is in the same spirit as her dance in the worldly parties and achieves more or less result as of old! We must forbid her! The church is not a place for dancing, but the worship of the holy God. 
The dancing church today opens the door to the sons and daughters of Herodias: 
(1) To come and display their dancing expertise. 
(2) To inspire and arouse the ministers and worshipers to all ungodliness by their dancing. 
(3) To corrupt or weaken the mental and spiritual judgment of ministers. 
(4) To murder the saints in the church by spiritual defilement occasioned by their dance. 
(5) To rob God of His Glory in the church. 
(6) To rob the church of the glory of the Lord. 
(7) To send church members to hell! 
Worship God in the beauty of holiness. Do not open your church to a dancing spree, otherwise, the sons and daughters of Herodias will come in and do destruction to it! The present wild dance and music going on in the churches of Christ in the name of praise worship to God have no scriptural base. The New Testament believers and apostles of the early church neither exemplified this nor taught it. The reasons why this wild dance in the church was not practised in Bible times and should be stopped today are obvious.
Thought for the day: Wild dance in the church is an abomination, stop it. 

Song for the day: I will sing unto the Lord a joyful song; I will praise His name…

Bible reading for the day: 
Exodus 7-8; Matthew 17

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
