GOD REQUIRES PEACE AND ORDER IN HIS CHURCH

TEXT: Judges 21: 25, Hebrews 13:17 

MONDAY MARCH 27th 

Key Verse 1 Corinthians 14:40; Let all things be done decently and in order.
The Lord wants us to be orderly and decent in our ways; both as individuals and a body of believers. He is not the author of confusion; He is the God of peace, and order. That is why He gave us leaders to order our steps according to His ways in His church. In this way, the beauty of Jesus will manifest in His church. Where there is disorderliness and indecency, it will mean either that there is no leadership in the church or that the leadership is weak. When the people did not follow the course of God nor are submissive to leadership authority, it means also that they want to be left to themselves. Where there is no leadership, they will naturally follow any direction they wanted or do as their hearts desired. When you want to be left to yourself, that is, leave me alone to do it my way, it clearly means you are not under the leadership of God. It shows that you are not in Christ because any person left to himself is a backslider in heart. If you are a true child of God; you will obey leadership willingly.
Be resolved to obey the leadership God has raised over you and others in the Christian ministry. God sets leadership over His own people so that His sheep should not be scattered for want of shepherds. For you to live this Christian life fruitfully and make it to heaven, you must develop and inculcate discipline into your life. You must cultivate personal Christian discipline. Discipline is the act of self-control, self-direction on the path of righteousness. It is the act of personal orderliness that you bring to yourself because you want to achieve something for God, not for self. Despite that others are to work on you for God, you are to work on yourself also to be fit for the race. The Christian race is compared to the profession of a soldier where both personal discipline is required and the discipline the superiors bring upon his life. All these are done to make him a soldier pleasing to his superior, serving the country well. 2 Timothy Chapter 2:1-7 tells us to be personally disciplined and as leaders discipline others to bring them to order and decency. 

Thought for the day Christianity is decency and orderliness

Song for the day Trust and obey, for there’s no other way ……

Bible reading for the day: Joshua 19-20; Luke 5:17-39

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
