THE CHURCH IS IN THE WORLD AND THE WORLD IN THE CHURCH

THE CHURCH IS IN THE WORLD AND THE WORLD IN THE CHURCH 
TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 4:1-4
Key verse:  “God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit 
and in truth” (John 4:24).The carnal nature of man is the seat of pride and pleasure. It cannot be subjected to principles of righteousness and holiness. Men in the world indulge in all forms of fleshy pleasure to satisfy their passions. They worship money and their bellies. Worldliness has now taken over in the church. Those who come to church do not have God in focus. Many worldly activities have been incorporated into worship to satisfy the passion of the worshippers. The songs they sing carry worldly styles and inspiration. The music they play ministers to the flesh and fills the worship service with the wildest form of ungodly dance to satisfy pleasure of the flesh. The musicians are unconverted and sometimes dress in worldly fashion. Certainly, their worship is not to God. 

The sermons preached cannot convert anyone. They promote laughter and stir fleshly emotions. Some are mere motivational talks. Souls cannot be converted under such atmosphere. True believers must repent from worldliness in worship and stay away from it. Holiness in worship is needed to receive blessing of God. Various activities and styles are adopted by ministers from the sinful world and brought into the church. They promote respect of persons in ministry. They go into worldly dressing and slangs. They forge lies and give false testimonies for self-promotion. 

They bring big men of the world into the church for honour and praise. They extort money from members through ungodly ways. They preach the gospel of 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 and seek for huge donations, tithes and offering for their bellies. They are not called by God and cannot produce fruits for eternal life. You must neither listen to them nor go to them for healing and miracles. 

Thought for the day: Ensure that your church feeds your soul well
Song for the day: Yield not to temptation for yielding is sin, each victory will..
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 9-10; 1 Timothy 3

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...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
