AVOID WORLDLINESS IN ALL THAT YOU DO

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

TOPIC: AVOID WORLDLINESS IN ALL THAT YOU DO 

TEXT: 1 JOHN 2:15-17
TUESDAY SEPTEMBR 12TH

Key verse: James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.  
As a child of God, you must not desire or copy the things of the world. The world has its pattern and mannerism of life. The Christian is different. The Christian life is strange and odd to the world. 1 Peter 4:4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you. In their lifestyles, the world and Christians do not conform together. 
Romans 12: 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 
Believers must follow the holiness pattern of life as Christ lived, which was visible to all men. You are called a Christian because you are like Christ (Christ-like). In our day, wedding programs have been turned into a theatre of lasciviousness, even in the Church. Brides and their maids dress typically like harlots exposing very sensitive parts of their body without any iota of shame. The shamefacedness expected of a Christian woman is no longer there. 
A Christian wedding must be devoid of the flamboyance, extravagance and vanity of the world. From the wedding gown to conduct of wedding proper and reception, there must be holiness. The wedding gown and those of the bridesmaids must not be tight-fitted or body-exposing. There should be no paintings, jewelries and any kind of adornment, but clean and simple dressing that is befitting of a child of God. At the reception, there must not be worldly music or dances. Everything must be done decently and in order to the glory of God. 

Thought for the day: You cannot serve two masters. 

Song for the day: This world is not my home, I am just passing through….. 

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 21-22; 2 Corinthians 4

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...
