TOPIC: AVOID WORLDLINESS IN WORSHIP             
DECEMBER Friday 28th
TEXT: Romans 8: 5-8
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 the principles of righteousness and holiness. In the world, men indulge in all forms of fleshly pleasure to satisfy their pride and passions. In the world, men worship their belly and money. Worldliness has now taken a seat in the church. Those who come to the 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 in demonstration of the pleasure of the flesh. The musicians are unconverted and dress like the worldly musicians. Their worship is not to God. The sermons preached cannot convert anyone; they promote laughter and fleshly emotions. 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 in the church which are brought in from the sinful world. Besides being corrupt, they produce corrupt fruit of Christian ministry. They promote respect of persons in ministry. They go into worldly dressing, demonstrations, slangs, etc. They forge lies and give false testimonies for self-propagation. 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 great tithes for their belly.
This kind of 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 wellbeing on earth and eternal life at last.
Thought for the day: Where you fellowship may determine where you will end up
Song for the day: Holiness is the beauty of the believer
Bible reading for the day:
Zechariah 7-9 Revelation 19.

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...
