EXPLANATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

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

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...
