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...

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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
