PRESERVING INNOCENCE FOR THE SAKE OF HOLINESS

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: PRESERVING INNOCENCE FOR THE SAKE OF HOLINESS

TEXT:  MATTHEW 18, 1-7 

TUESDAY DECEMBER 13th 

Key Verse: Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 
Parents cannot guarantee that their children will become holy or stay in holiness. Why does your child need a smartphone? Do you know all the apps on your children’s phones? Do you know what social media websites they frequent? Do you know if they are on dating apps? Do you check the history of their websites? Do you know what music is on their playlists? Restricting their liberty may be a way of protecting their innocence because preserving their innocence will make their transition into holiness smoother. If they have not been initiated into anything devilish, they will not know the depths of Satan. 
Knowing this, ensure you endeavor to protect their innocence. Do not trust that your children are innocent and holy. Do not turn your face from looking into their lives because you may be scared of what you might see. It is better that you solve these problems within your household. If you can resolve them, the church will be less burdened. The ministry of God will have time for other things because you would have done the work of a bishop in ensuring that your household is under subjection to the word of God. Have frequent bible studies in your household. Turn off the TV and open the scriptures. 
Be approachable to your children so that they will feel free to expose themselves to you. Ask them questions. Enquire about them! Scan them! By so doing, you will be able to detect the spiritual level of maturity of your children. By so doing, you will know how to direct your prayers. The scriptures tell us to pray in the Spirit and also to pray with our minds. Let your mind be exercised in the things your children require. Ask them direct questions. Knowing answers to these questions will help you know for instance whether you should pray for forgiveness or whether you should pray for protection.

Thought for the day: There are great blessings in obeying God’s word 

Song of the day: Make me holy (3x) O Lord…

Bible reading for the day: Joel; Revolution 4

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 Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
