TOPIC: THE CALL TO SERVE IN CHRIST'S  CHURCH IS A HOLY ONE 

TEXT: 1 THESSALONIANS 4:7-8  
7. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us His holy Spirit.

KEY VERSE: 1 THESSALONIANS 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

Now, you see the calling of God here from the above text. What has God called us not to uncleanness, not to sin, not to a life of lies, not to a life of immorality, not to a life of witchcraft, not to a life of drunkenness. He has called us unto holiness. Live clean, righteous and pure to be perfect. That is the calling that God has given to us.

1 Peter chapter 1 verse 14 to 16. Provides thus, “As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation.” 

Conversation means way of life, way of living. That is in all manner of your life. He said, you were living a bad life before. You were living a wicked life before, wicked to your family, and wicked to the society. Maybe as one of these blind guards, you were a pastor over a congregation and you were wicked to them. Now, as He which hath called you is holy, the Creator of our life is holy, the founder of the Christian church is holy, so we must be holy.

Our Savior is holy. To be holy means, you do not commit sin. Even when he came to the Earth, he was harmless. He was holy. He was undefiled. He was pure. So, as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation, in all manner of life, in all manner of your living because it is written, be ye holy for I am holy. 

Are you a Pastor in the church of Christ’s? Or serving in whatever capacity as a Christian?  You must be holy. So, you can see God has brought you to a level of himself in moral living, in righteous living, in holy living, that you be holy in your thoughts, holy in your ways, holy in your actions. That is what God expects of you. 

Yes, believers are called by God unto this life. You are called by God unto this life of righteousness and holiness even as God is holy. And in fact, the Bible says, Jesus says it, be ye perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Thought for the day. The founder of the Church is holy, so we must be holy.

Song for the day. Called unto holiness

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 9-11

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you want to be f
