TOPIC: PRAY TO PURGE YOUR LIFE OF SPIRITUAL DEFILEMENT May Sunday 10th
Text: 1 Thessalonians 5: 21-25
Key verse: 1Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
After salvation, you need to be sanctified to perfect you for heaven. Pray fervently for God to remove the remaining traces of sin in your life that are causing you embarrassment and constituting obstacle to your heavenly journey.
i. Pray to remove that anger. Why do you get angry with little provocations? It is a spiritual sickness. The anger comes by itself. Even when you are pushing it away, it will push itself back into your heart. Go into prayer, God will handle that anger and set you free.
ii. Pray against lying tongue and exaggerating lips. You do not know how it happens. You want to stop but you can’t. Go to God in prayers!
iii. Pray against lust after the opposite sex. Your mind just goes off and hooks to a lady or a man. This issue is beyond your capacity to handle. Go to God in prayer. God will root out that lust. Why should it bring you to shame? Why should you be hypocritical in life?
iv. Pray against fear. You just feel threatened. You are afraid and keep wondering why you are afraid. It is the nature of your heart. Take it to God in prayer.
v. Pray against socially unwholesome character. You are not sociable. Socially you are not performing and you do not know why. God will help you. Take it to Him in prayer.
vi. Pray for a heart of love and giving. You don’t know how to be charitable and flow in giving. Commit it to God in prayer. Tell Him to make you loving and charitable.
vii. Pray against the fear of giving account. When you are told, “Bring your reports,” what goes on in your hearts? Does your heart really agree that you should make bare your reports? Or do some human wisdom envelope your mind saying, “If they know how much I have, if they know that I used the money for this thing, may be this or that will happen?” Those are defilements of your life due to the nature of your heart. Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Thought for the day: If you want holiness in your life and in others, take prayer seriously.
Song for the day: Holiness is the beauty of the believer
Bible reading for the day: 1 Kings 21-22; John 3:1-21

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...
