TOPIC: THE CHURCH IS IN THE WORLD AND THE WORLD IS IN THE CHURCH. FRIDAY JULY 14 TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 4:1-4 KEY VERSE: “God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24). The carnal nature of man is the seat of pride and pleasure. It cannot be subjected to principles of righteousness and holiness. In the world, men indulge in all forms of fleshy pleasure to satisfy their pride and passions. In the world men worship their belly and money. Worldliness has now taken a front seat in the church. Those who come to church do not have God in focus. Many worldly activities have been incorporated into worship to satisfy the passion of the worshippers. The songs they sing carry worldly styles and inspiration. The music they play ministers to the flesh and fills the worship service with the wildest form of ungodly dance to satisfy pleasure of the flesh. The musicians are unconverted and sometimes dress in worldly fashion. Certainly, their worship is not to God. The sermons preached cannot convert anyone. They promote laughter and stir fleshly emotions. Some are mere motivational talks. Souls cannot be converted under such atmosphere. True believers must repent from worldliness in worship and steer clear from it. Holiness in worship is required to receive the life and blessing of God. Various activities and styles are adopted by ministers from the sinful world and brought into the church. Besides, being corrupt they produce corrupt fruit of Christian ministry. They promote respect of persons in ministry. They go into worldly dressing, demonstrations, and slangs. They forge lies and give false testimonies for self-promotion. They bring big men of the world into the church for honour and praise. They extract money from members through ungodly ways. They preach the gospel of peace and prosperity without repentance, righteousness and holiness. They take delight in the nakedness of women in the church and justify them, using scriptures. They commit immorality with the women in the church, they seek huge donations, tithes and offering from them for their belly. This kind of church or ministry is everywhere today. They are not called by God and cannot produce fruits for eternal life. You must not listen to them. Neither go to them for healing and miracles. True ministers of the gospel are those who are faithful to the word of God and manifest exemplary lives. These are the ones that have the message of eternal life for the world and the church. Seek them and their ministry. Listen to them and submit yourself to their shepherding for your well-being on earth and eternal rest with Christ. Thought for the Day: If your church is not feeding your soul well, take your exit before you suffer spiritual kwashiorkor. Song for the Day: I will never go back to the world anymore Bible reading for the day: Psalm 13-16; Acts 18

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 ...
