WITHOUT HOLINESS, WE ARE LABOURING IN VAIN

TUESDAY 18th JANUARY.

WITHOUT HOLINESS, WE ARE LABOURING IN VAIN 

TEXT: LUKE 1:74-75 
Key Verse: Philippians 2:16-Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. 
We are in danger of labouring in vain if we are not able to bring people to perfection. If we cannot bring you to this state of holiness, then our labour over you and preaching is in vain. If we helped you to be born again, but we could not make you holy, then our labour is in vain because you cannot go to heaven; for without holiness, no man shall enter heaven. Hebrews 12:14. 
Although you can be appointed to be a leader, your position cannot give you Heaven. No! You make heaven by your holiness. You can be given a gift, or even a promotion but not heaven. When true preachers finish their course and wear the crown and look for those they have laboured on in heaven, but they do not show up; it is very painful, as if the labour is in vain. All the fasting and the prayers are in vain because eventually, you did not enter Heaven. What has the teacher benefitted, if he was not able to graduate a student who was later expelled? What is the benefit of the church, pastor, and ministry, if they cannot make someone holy? 
Luke 1:74-75
74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
When people do not know about holiness and have not attained holiness, what benefit is it to that minister or denomination?. When the pastors of that denomination do not know holiness, attain holiness and do not work in holiness, what then is the benefit? What is the benefit of you being here if you cannot be holy, perfect, complete and completely righteous? Go back and take your decision again except you are living the Christian life for mere benefit on earth. Or maybe you want people to just address you as a Christian or call you after your church. But, if it is for heaven, then you will have to change for good. It is a high, holy and heavenly calling. Practice it with interest!                  
Matthew 5:48-Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect… 

Thought for the day: Without complete holiness, we cannot make Heaven

Song for the day: Holiness is the beauty of Believers…

Bible reading for the day: 
Genesis 42-43; Matthew 13:33-58

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...
