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

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...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
