TOPIC: SIN IS A WEAKENING FORCE
TEXT: 1 Peter 1:14-16
KEY VERSE: Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Abide in doctrines that perfect you in holiness for eternal life. They will build you upon the rock and keep you from falling as we read in today’s Bible reading. Sin is a weakening force. The presence of sin in your life will automatically weaken you spiritually, no matter how small the sin is. In fact, one sin is enough to take you to hell. Satan knows this eternal truth of God, which many believers don’t know. Something as small as the earring you hang on your ear (which is disobedience), is enough to weaken you. Small as it is, it will never allow you to stand in the day of fierce temptation because you will be lacking in power. Get this straight, it is not possible for a woman to be wearing earrings or perming her hair and be holy. The property of holiness has been damaged. That single act of disobedience against God has a great weakening force that will weaken her state of righteousness. She cannot be holy.

Is it not God that will make her holy? As long as it is raining, you cannot dry your cloth in the sun. If you spread your cloth outside it will not get dry. It is, therefore, impossible for you to live in disobedience (putting on strange hair or jewelries etc.) and expect God to make you holy. That is an eternal impossibility! You are just not ready for it.  Consecration is required for holiness and consecration means “be ye holy.” What God is saying here is that you do what is required to make yourself totally cleansed according to your ability, then I will take it up from there and do that which is beyond your ability, to perfect you in holiness. But if you have not done your part, you have not done away with those things you ought to remove, you have not changed your lifestyle, you have not stopped those things you ought not to be doing, how would God make you holy? He will not hear you, and without holiness no man shall see the Lord. 

Thought for the day:   God will not deal with you outside His holiness.
Song for the day:   Live a holy life, a life that pleases Jesus for without holiness……
Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 68-69; Romans 3

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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
