TOPIC: PURE DANCE OF THE RIGHTEOUS       December Thursday 26th
TEXT: Psalm 30: 11-12
KEY VERSE: Jeremiah. 31:13 “Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow”
This is a natural and spontaneous reaction of a heart that is thrilled with God's goodness. Pure dance obtains in the life of an individual believer as well as a congregation of worshipers. As good as this is, it is not carried beyond proportion by the individual believer or the congregation. Some people love dancing in their private praise and worship to God where nobody watches them. This may not be condemned if they do it in pure conscience before God.
What one may do in privacy and be blameless may not be done in public without blame. The freedom a husband and wife have in their love play in privacy cannot be used in the public without being blamed; others will be emotionally disturbed by them, surely. Hence the way a person may express his joy before God in privacy, may not be the same way he may do so in the sight of others.
Except where a particular act of the goodness of God so fills the mind and the Holy Spirit is in control, dancing in the public turns the mind to self for excellence and commendable performance which breeds pride and self glory. This is one of the reasons why those who engage in regular dance in the church defile themselves before God. The Bible shows that there are moments when the righteous dances in the praise of God as seen in these scriptures.
The dance here does not refer to the wild dance in vigorous shaking of the body or the systematic, stylish dance that aims at expertise and excellence. It is the mild and controlled body movement which accompanies a heart of joy. As seen in scriptural examples, the dance referred to by the above scriptures: Is often spontaneous; Is provoked by special joy; Is not engaged in for too long; Does not focus on expertise, excellence, or styles as done by the people of the world; Is not practiced by everyone; Is often not carried out in solemn worship meeting. Dancing has its place or time in human life as says the scripture. Let's examine Examples of pure dance of the righteous in scripture
Thought for the day: The pure dance of the righteous does not refer to the wild dance in vigorous shaking of the body or the systematic, stylish dance that aims at expertise and excellence.
Song for the day: Sing Amen, Rejoice Amen, Glory be to God Amen.....
Bible reading for the day: Zachariah 1-3; Revelation 17

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...

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 ...
