TOPIC: PERFECTING HOLINESS IN THE FEAR OF GOD May Monday 11th
Text: 1 Peter 1:14-16
Key verse: 2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Get yourself perfected! Get rid of everything that is evil, corrupted or is a lie in your life. They all have to leave your life for you to perfect this holiness and be made ready for heaven. You must cleanse yourself from all filthiness of the spirit (inward cleansing) and of the flesh (outward cleansing). The inward cleansing includes getting rid of anger, malice, lying, pride, greed, covetousness etc. The outward cleansing involves getting rid of body adornments such as weave-on, eye-lashes, false hair, dying of hair, wearing of trousers by women, putting on of jewelry, ungodly hair styles, wearing of body exposing dresses etc.
Having therefore these promises of eternal life, let us cleanse ourselves from all these ungodly behaviour and evil lifestyles. Live a holy life as God requires of us (1 Peter 1:16). If you want to be identified with Him, get rid of all these things because that is the secret of the eternal existence of God. He has revealed Himself in holiness. God cannot cohabit with darkness in your life. This can never happen! If God is in you light, righteousness and holiness will fully manifest in your life. Light will shine in your life because that is His property. Satan is not like God. He is the embodiment of lies and totally covered with darkness. He is the opposite of God. If he tells lies, he tells lies because he is the father of lies and lying is his native language.
God is the origin of righteousness. He is the origin of holiness. That is why He is calling you to holiness. Come to righteousness! Come to holiness! Learn the principles of holy living because that is the principle of walking with God. It is the principle of life eternal. That is the principle of fellowshipping with God. It is the principle of living with God both on earth and in heaven.
Thought for the day: God cannot cohabit with darkness in your life.
Song for the day: The light must shine; the light of God must shine…
Bible reading for the day: 2 Kings 1-3; John 3:22-36

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. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. 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.

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 ...
