God's blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: EXPLANATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

TEXT: MARK 16:15-16.  
THURSDAY AUGUST 31st

Key verse: Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Question: Please what are the principles of holiness?
Answer: To come to holiness, first tell the sinner to repent of his sins and give his life to Jesus Christ. Go to the sinners and preach the gospel, the good news of salvation in Christ to him. The kingdom of God is at hand; repent ye and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Preach repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Then when the sinner believes in the Lord Jesus Christ he should be baptized according to the Word of God. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. He believes and has received Christ into His life. He is now born again. He is now a child of God.
Then, to the child of God, there is still a gospel to be preached to him. What is the gospel? He is now a child of God; he belongs to the church. He has begun part of the body of Christ having repented and believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. There is still a gospel for him; the gospel of Sanctification, inner cleansing, inner purity, and the purity of heart. The believer has become part of the church; Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it. For God so loved the world and gave Jesus for it on the cross, Christ now loved the church and gave himself for it. The death on the cross has dual purposes: To bring the sinner to salvation in Christ and to bring the believer to sanctification and heart purity. Believers need to hear this message, that your heart can be purified. When your clothes are dirty, you wash them with water and soap and rinse them. You carry it to another water to rinse it; at the first water-dirt comes out but there are still some lines, some remnants that the next water can cleanse out. At salvation much is done in your life, you are saved from sins, but then there are remnants which you still need sanctification to arrive at for perfect cleansing. 

Thought for the day: Peace, Purity, and Power are available for believers in Christ

Song for the day: Peace, purity, power; all mine in the Lord…

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 145-147; 1 Corinthians 11:1-15

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. January Saturday 18th TOPIC: HOW TO ATTAIN BIBLE HOLINESS TEXT: Romans 6:20-23 KEY VERSE: Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Besides the essential knowledge of the holy life of a Christian, it is good to understand the manner and process of becoming holy before God. Holiness of life is a life that has overcome sin through the saving power of Jesus Christ. Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. It is a life that does not commit sin. 1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Getting this experience requires four things: 1. Know that apart from holiness, there is no alternative lifestyle for heaven. Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holin...
