TOPIC: THE CHRACTER OF A HOLY CHRISTIAN
TEXT: Ephesians 4:17-29
KEY VERSE: Ephesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Every creature of God has its own peculiar character and nature, whether plants or animals. It is in the nature of fish to swim in the water and the dog to bark. The natural or un-regenerated man takes after Satan in character of lying, stealing, fornicating and committing all kinds of atrocities. Contrarily, a child of God acquires the genetic traits of God and exhibits his holy character in daily living. Some of the character traits we expect to see in the life of a true Christian include:

1. Passionate love for God and fellow men. 1John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. If you love you will not lie against another, you will not steal, gossip, kill or do anything to hurt God or another man.
2. Freedom from compromise due to fear and respect of persons. 2 Timothy 1:7 God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
3. Humility. Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4. Separation from sinners. 2Corinthians 6:14-17 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? … what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? …17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
5. Purity in Christian dressing. 1Peter 3:3-4 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
6. Kind speech and action. Colossians 4:6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Thought for the day:  Reveal Jesus Christ in your daily lifestyle.
Song for the day: Holiness is the beauty of the believer……
Bible reading for the day:Exodus 29-30; Matthew 22:1-22.

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...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
