WITHOUT HOLINESS, OUR LABOUR ON YOU IS IN VAIN

   
TEXT: LUKE 1:74-75
KEY VERSE: MATTHEW 5:48 “Be ye perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect”
We are in danger of labouring in vain if we are not able to bring people to perfection. Our preaching and work over you are to bring you to the state of holiness. If we helped you to be born again but could not make you holy, then our labour is in vain, because you cannot go to heaven. 
Hebrew 12: 14 “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord”
Without holiness, no man shall enter Heaven. Although you can be appointed to be a leader, your position cannot give you heaven. No! You go to heaven by your holiness. You can be given gifts or promotions but not Heaven. It is when true preachers finish their course and wear the crown, they look for those they have laboured on in Heaven, but when they do not show up, then it is painful as the labour is in vain. All the fasting and prayers are in vain. What has the teacher benefitted if he was not able to graduate a student who was later expelled?
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.
What is the benefit of that pastor and ministry if they cannot make someone holy? If the pastor of that denomination does not know holiness and does not walk in holiness, what then is the benefit? What then is your benefit of being in a holy ministry and you cannot be holy, perfect, complete and righteous? Go back and take decisions again, except you are leaving the Christian life for mere benefit on earth. But if it is for heaven, then you will change. It is a holy and heavenly calling. Set your heart on it, and live for it, heaven will be yours.
Romans 12:1-2
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Thought for the day:  You go to Heaven based on holiness, not your position.

Song for the day: Holy life, you have to live holy lives. You must live holy as an example

Bible reading: 1 Samuel 25-26; Luke 16:19-31

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...
