Plea For Righteousness And Holiness
Tuesday, January 16th
Text: John 2: 23 - 25
Key verse: John 2: 24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men.
The Lord is pleading that you should be righteous and holy. The ministers of the Lord and your leaders in the Holiness Movement are pleading with you to be righteous and holy. I who has found grace in the sight of God to superintend over you, am pleading that you should be righteous and holy. Your soul also is crying within you to return it to righteousness and holiness. So, in every respect there is a plea on you; pleading, please return to righteousness and holiness. Please come back to righteousness and holiness. Please remain in righteousness and holiness.
Man is prone to backsliding and forsaking the Lord. They forget so soon the acts of divine love, mercy, and grace they have received from God. Man is not steadfast in the truth he has received. He will always want to turn away after some time. It may not be so for all men but for the majority. A study of domestic animals reveals that dogs are not like cows, goats, or sheep. If you put food for dogs, they will eat to satisfaction but it is not like that with cows, goats, and sheep which eat here a little and move a distance; not that the food has finished here but they move to another place to eat there also. That is their nature. Part of this nature is in man. He will not want to stay even when all is there. He will want to move. He will want to try his own.
Why did Adam and Eve not stay permanently with God? When the devil suggested another state to them different from the state God put them into, they were willing to go there to become like God. That is the problem with man. Take care of your mind and heart lest you will abandon this good thing the Lord has given you. With testimonies from heaven backing up these teachings, you may still abandon them. Take care of yourself for Jesus knew what was in man. Is it not the same people that cried, ‘Hosanna’ that later cried, ‘Crucify Him?’
Thought for the day: Man is prone to backsliding and forsaking the Lord
Song for the day: O Jesus, I have promised to serve Thee to the end
Bible reading for the day: Exodus 1-4
