TOPIC: DO NOT SUCCUMB TO THE COMPELLING INFLUENCE OF THE WORLD

TEXT: 1 John 2:15-17

Key verse: John17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

The Society is not a good teacher because it has lost its moral value. Ecclesiastes 7:29; Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. There is so much perverseness among men that they see what is wrong as right and promote iniquity above righteousness. God frowns seriously at such moral debasement. Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. This explains why women now practically dress half naked in the name of fashion and majority see nothing wrong with it.

Politicians who steal public funds are celebrated and they even draw large crowd of sympathizers in the court when prosecuted. It is such negative influence of the majority that now make people to engage in all kinds of evil, thinking it is the right way to live.

• While God seeks obedience, majority seek convenience
• While God seeks the truth, majority love lies
• While God dwells in the light, majority love the deeds of darkness
• While God seeks patience, majority want quick result
• While God focuses on the future, majority seek immediate benefit
• While God seeks righteousness in all dealings, to the majority, the end justifies the means.

It is the negative influence of the majority that leads people into error. Sin is no longer seen as sin and very few people accept the possibility of living a pure and holy life.

• Workers steal from their employers because they see others stealing
• Children lie because they see their parents lying to each other
• Students cheat in exam hall because it is the norm in the school
• Husbands cheat on their wives because it is the vogue among men.

Jesus says, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
Jesus is the only true friend you have, listen to Him and follow Him.

Thought for the day: Listen to the Spirit of Jesus and follow Him even if you have to stand alone.

Song for the day :Where He leads me I will follow…

Bible reading for the day:
1Kings 3-5; Luke 23:1-26

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

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...

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 wa...
