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

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...

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, ...
