AVOID WORLDLINESS IN WORSHIP

 FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.

DATE: SUNDAY APRIL 18
TOPIC: AVOID WORLDLINESS IN WORSHIP
TEXT: ROMANS 8: 5-8
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh, but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
KEY VERSE: “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” John 4: 24
In the world, men indulge in all forms of fleshly pleasure to satisfy their pride and passions. They worship their belly and money. Worldliness has now taken a seat in the church. Those who come to the church do not have God in focus. Many worldly activities have been incorporated into worship to satisfy the passion of the worshippers.
The songs have worldly styles and inspiration. The music ministers to the flesh and fills the worship service with wild forms of ungodly dance in demonstration of the pleasure of the flesh. The musicians are unconverted and dress like worldly musicians. Their worship is not to God.
The sermons preached promote laughter and fleshly emotions and cannot convert anyone. Souls cannot be converted under such an atmosphere. True believers must repent from worldliness in worship and steer clear from it. Holiness in worship is required to receive the life and blessing of God.
Various activities and styles are adopted by ministers in the church which are brought in from the sinful world. Besides being corrupt, they produce corrupt fruit of Christian ministry. They promote respect for persons in ministry. They go into worldly dressing, demonstrations, slangs, etc. They forge lies and give false testimonies for self-propagation.
They bring big men of the world into the church for honour and praise. They extract money from members through ungodly ways. They preach the gospel of peace and prosperity without repentance, righteousness and holiness. They take delight in the nakedness of women in the church and justify them, using scriptures. They commit immorality with the women in the church and seek great tithes for their belly.
This kind of ministry is everywhere today. They are not called by God and cannot produce fruits for eternal life. Do not listen to them. Do not go to them for healing and miracles. True ministers of the gospel are those who are faithful to the word of God and manifest exemplary lives. They have the message of eternal life for the world and the church. Seek them and their ministry. Listen to them and submit yourself to their shepherding for your wellbeing on earth and eternal life at last.
Thought for the day: Where you fellowship may determine your eternity.
Song for the day: Worthy, You are worthy, King of kings, Lord of lords......
Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 25-26;
Luke 16:19-31. #Horemow

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...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
