JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS BEHEADED TO REWARD A DANCER

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN.

24TH MONDAY JANUARY


TEXT: MARK 6: 14-28 
Key Verse: Mark 14: 22-And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
Dancers always make effort to improve on their performance to show expertise and excellence. We see in this account the inspiration and power of dancing. Herod and the others who watched her were pleased, inspired, fascinated, absorbed and captured by her performance. Her dance aroused their emotions and Herod was moved to utter a promise which he would not have made in his sound mind that led to t evil action. John the Baptist was beheaded and his head was given to her to reward her dance! Ungodly dancing is not practised only in social parties but presently in the church. Her dance is not for God and His worship; for she knows not the Lord. Her dance in the church is in the same spirit as her dance in the worldly parties and achieves more or less result as of old! We must forbid her! The church is not a place for dancing, but the worship of the holy God. 
The dancing church today opens the door to the sons and daughters of Herodias: 
(1) To come and display their dancing expertise. 
(2) To inspire and arouse the ministers and worshipers to all ungodliness by their dancing. 
(3) To corrupt or weaken the mental and spiritual judgment of ministers. 
(4) To murder the saints in the church by spiritual defilement occasioned by their dance. 
(5) To rob God of His Glory in the church. 
(6) To rob the church of the glory of the Lord. 
(7) To send church members to hell! 
Worship God in the beauty of holiness. Do not open your church to a dancing spree, otherwise, the sons and daughters of Herodias will come in and do destruction to it! The present wild dance and music going on in the churches of Christ in the name of praise worship to God have no scriptural base. The New Testament believers and apostles of the early church neither exemplified this nor taught it. The reasons why this wild dance in the church was not practised in Bible times and should be stopped today are obvious.
Thought for the day: Wild dance in the church is an abomination, stop it. 

Song for the day: I will sing unto the Lord a joyful song; I will praise His name…

Bible reading for the day: 
Exodus 7-8; Matthew 17

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...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
