COMMITMENT OF A CHRISTIAN WIDOW TO HOLY LIVING AND HEAVEN
TEXT: 1 Peter 1:15-16

Key verse: Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man 
shall see the Lord: 

Let the widow or widower be committed to holy living. Holy living means a life of purity, blamelessness, a sanctified life that is without stain, blemish, spots or wrinkles. Holy living involves both INWARD and OUTWARD purity. Some say God does not look at appearance but that is only for service. For holiness or going to heaven, God looks at both inward and outward condition of a man.  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. This scripture talks about “cleansing ourselves from ALL filthiness of the FLESH and SPIRIT, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” This shows that the purity of a believer is both INWARD and OUTWARD. God is not only concerned about the heart condition, but also the way we dress and adorn ourselves. To attain this,  you must be born again and sanctified. Flee all kinds of sin and impurities that defile your soul such as fornication, lying, pride, envy, covetousness etc. Also do not emulate the world in dressing and adornment. 

Also, widowhood should offer you a greater opportunity to live for heaven. Widowhood gives you more freedom for service to God for the sake of your soul. 1 Corinthians 7:32-33  But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:  But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. As a widow, you don't have to rush out of fellowship because your husband is waiting for his food. Now you have more time for prayer without distraction like Anna (Luke 2:36, 37).  1 Timothy 5:5  Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. Widowhood offers the opportunity to live holy for heaven without distraction (1 Corinthians 7:34, 35). Sometimes, the attempt to please your husband or wife may make you displease God. Some women dress like Jezebel to please their husbands. Sometimes, the husband or wife may obstruct his or her partner from following God. Therefore, God might have freed you from the bondage of marriage for the sake of your eternal life.

Thought for the day:  Serve God in the state in which he has called you.
Song for the day: Never fail me yet, never fail me yet, Jesus love never….
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 124-127; 1 Corinthians 7:1-24

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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
