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

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...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
