Be Holy, Pure And Clean As Mary Was

Thursday 15th January 

Text: 2 Timothy 2:19-21
Key Verse: 1 Peter 1:4: But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
Mary maintained purity and holiness in heart and life. Scriptural account on her before her visitation of the angel attests to this. Mary kept her virginity. She was not a careless woman exposed to immorality. She was not carelessly exposed to young men, not even to the one that proposed to marry her. She was not the type to entice her fiancé to sleep with her. Never! She was not the type that her fiancé would touch, press her breasts and lie with on the bed. She was a clean woman. That is the vessel God uses! The vessel God uses is a vessel unto honour. Mary was a vessel unto honour. When the angel saw her, he shouted in salutation because she had kept herself in the ways of God and in His righteousness. The Angel said, “The Lord is with you!” That is because the Lord is with the righteous, godly and holy. Mary, in her righteousness and holiness, attracted God's attention and so the Lord brought special favour to her life.
The Catholics, who adore Mary, maintain a portrait of Mary’s clothing and adornment devoid of jewellery. I heard of an occasion which someone made a portrait of Mary wearing jewellery and the Catholics went wild worldwide against it. This is because godly women in Bible times never used jewellery or any kind of ungodly adornment. 1 Peter 3:3-Whose adorning, let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel.
Holiness of life is what we are called to. It is a lifestyle we ought to live both in public and in private. Our hearts should be devoid of love for the world. We are to be cleansed from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit. Man should fear God, and man should account of us any day and time that we are original in our Christian faith. We must strive for perfection and purity of heart for heaven.

Thought For The Day: Make yourself holy, you will be a vessel unto honour.

Song For The Day: Give me that old time religion (3x), it’s good enough for me

Bible Reading For The Day: Genesis 47-50

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
