For taking your time to study remain blessed. WORLDLY ADORNMENTS AND ENTERTAINMENT MONDAY APRIL 24 TEXT: MATHEW 6:19-24 Key verse: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world if any man love the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him” 1 John 2:15 Those who have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ, as their personal Lord and Savior have become children of God. They are no more of the world and so must not love the world, neither the things of the world. They must not talk, walk, dress like the sinners in the world, because these things are not of God but of the world. The world will soon pass away with all its pleasures, adornments and entertainments. Therefore the Lord commanded us not to lay our treasures on earth but in heaven, for where our treasures are there will our hearts be also. We are not to amass wealth for the satisfaction of the flesh. What does the Bible say about worldly adornments and entertainment? Whenever God wants to have intimate dealings with His people, He orders them to put away the strange gods from among them, which include their ungodly clothing and ornamental adornments (Genesis 35:1-5, Exodus 33:1-6). God cannot deal kindly and mercifully with us while we remain stiff-necked, and still dress like the harlots of the world. We must steer clear of worldly dressing, make-up and corrupt styles. We must not use jewelry which includes earrings, make-up, nose rings, necklace, chains, bracelets, all rings and beads. The believers in Christ must not perm or jerry-curl the hair. They must not use attachment, weave on, cortex, lipstick. We must not put on body revealing dresses. The Christian girls and women must not put on trousers, mini-skirts, short gowns and any kind of indecent dresses. The men too must not cut their hair in worldly styles nor dress ungodly. They must not sag their trousers. Believers must also abstain from worldly music, movies and dancing, and must not bring that into the church for the worship of God. Those who live in the pleasures of the world are presently dead in the sight of God, and are going to be judged by God on the judgment day. Thought for the day: You cannot serve God and worldly pleasures at the same time. Song for the day: Who is like unto Thee, O Lord (2x), Among the gods, who is like Thee…. Bible reading for the day: 2 Samuel 10-12; Luke 19:29-48 #horemow

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

Jesus Is The Bond You Need

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Jesus Is The Bond You Need      Friday May 17th Text: 1 Corinthians 11:24-26 Key verse: Acts 17:28 “For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your poets have said, For we are also his offspring.” Jesus Christ is the source of our physical life or existence on earth as well as eternal life. Just as a branch of a tree cannot exist on its own except it is fully connected to the tree, in like manner true believers in Christ cannot be fruitful in their walk with God unless they are wholly connected to Jesus, the source of life. Child of God, your life is intertwined with Jesus. Your life should be thoroughly mixed with Jesus. If He is not in your mind regularly, you will not remember to give Him glory. Do not serve God without consciously knowing Him. Jesus is the channel to realization. He is the channel of receiving every good and perfect gift from God. That is why you need to r
