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

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...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20.

Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
