LIFESTYLE OF A TRUE BELIEVER
FRIDAY MAY 5
TEXT: MATTHEW 7:16-23
Key verse: “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them” Matthew 7:20
A believer is someone that is established in Christ Jesus in truth, obedience, holiness and righteousness. It is not everybody that goes to church and calls himself a Christian that is a believer. In Matthew 7:21. Not everyone that saith unto me Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my father, which is in heaven. Nowadays, there are a lot of people who say they are Christians who will not enter heaven. These are people who think that they are going to make it into glory based on their lip service. But when they stand before the King and the Judge, they will be rejected. Some of these people choose to worship God according to their own beliefs and not God’s word. These include: Roman Catholics; Jehovah Witnesses; Seventh day Adventists; Christian Sciences; Hypocrites; those that trust in false doctrines; those who reverence their pastor more than God; those who trust in miracles instead of God; those who use anointing oil, handkerchief, holy water. They are far from biblical truth of holiness and righteousness. The characteristics of a true believer are:
1. A true believer must repent, meaning basically saying I am leaving the old life behind for a new life in Jesus Christ and not going back to your former life style.
2. You must believe, meaning that Jesus died for your sins was buried and rose on the third day. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and to live under His command.
3. Obey God, meaning obedience to the word of God, doing what Jesus said you should do according to His words. You must be able to live above sins. You are no longer enticed by sins and sinners.
Thought for the day: My brethren if sinners entice you consent not
Song for the day: Lord I want to be like Jesus in my heart….
Bible reading for the day: 1 Kings 10-11; Luke 24:1-35

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...
