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

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
