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

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...
