PRESERVING INNOCENCE FOR THE SAKE OF HOLINESS

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: PRESERVING INNOCENCE FOR THE SAKE OF HOLINESS

TEXT:  MATTHEW 18, 1-7 

TUESDAY DECEMBER 13th 

Key Verse: Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 
Parents cannot guarantee that their children will become holy or stay in holiness. Why does your child need a smartphone? Do you know all the apps on your children’s phones? Do you know what social media websites they frequent? Do you know if they are on dating apps? Do you check the history of their websites? Do you know what music is on their playlists? Restricting their liberty may be a way of protecting their innocence because preserving their innocence will make their transition into holiness smoother. If they have not been initiated into anything devilish, they will not know the depths of Satan. 
Knowing this, ensure you endeavor to protect their innocence. Do not trust that your children are innocent and holy. Do not turn your face from looking into their lives because you may be scared of what you might see. It is better that you solve these problems within your household. If you can resolve them, the church will be less burdened. The ministry of God will have time for other things because you would have done the work of a bishop in ensuring that your household is under subjection to the word of God. Have frequent bible studies in your household. Turn off the TV and open the scriptures. 
Be approachable to your children so that they will feel free to expose themselves to you. Ask them questions. Enquire about them! Scan them! By so doing, you will be able to detect the spiritual level of maturity of your children. By so doing, you will know how to direct your prayers. The scriptures tell us to pray in the Spirit and also to pray with our minds. Let your mind be exercised in the things your children require. Ask them direct questions. Knowing answers to these questions will help you know for instance whether you should pray for forgiveness or whether you should pray for protection.

Thought for the day: There are great blessings in obeying God’s word 

Song of the day: Make me holy (3x) O Lord…

Bible reading for the day: Joel; Revolution 4

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
