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

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...
