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

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...
