PURE IN HEART

May 15th – Capsule 15

TOPIC: PURE IN HEART

BIBLE TEXT: Finally brethren, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things – Philippians 4 vs. 8.

The bible reveals an encounter of a man with a pure heart (righteous) in accordance to the will of God. This man was also a disciple of Christ, he was recognized as one with a pure heart. He was educated, sincere and honest in all his doing. Amongst the twelve apostles of Christ, Nathaniel or Bartholomew was much respected. The purity of his heart gave him honor amongst men – John 1 vs. 45 -51. 

To be pure as a Christian, you must be honest and a man of integrity, living for Christ at all times in your place of work, business, school, marriage and all other endeavors. The Bible reveals this fact for all those who want to walk in purity – Matthew 5 vs. 6: Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. This fact remains true, only a Christian with a pure Spirit (heart) than can relate with God spiritually and manifest physically. 

Psalm 24 vs. 1 – 5; 15 vs. 1 – 5 reveals what a believer must do and live on to enjoy the presence of God. Judas Iscariot and Nathaniel were the most educated Disciples of Christ but as you can perceive, education is not purity, because Judas betrayed Christ because his heart was corrupted, while Nathaniel’s heart was pure. Live to please the Lord today by letting go of pains, hatred and all forms of hurt and defilements. Forgiveness assists a man into purity. A pure heart possesses the grace for integrity.

Christ testifies of him, "Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! - John 1 vs. 47." This informs us of the spiritual scanning system whenever we present ourselves before the LORD that gives perfect scans of every soul's purity service before Our Father in Heaven. You can live in purity too, when you give all to the service of the higher calling in Jesus Christ as a child of God.


Prayer: Lord Jesus, I repent from my ways and I ask that you cleanse my heart from all pollutions and impurities in Jesus name.

Insight: To be pure is to live righteously and stand with the truth in Christ Jesus.

MARY, DID YOU KNOW?

Date - December 19th, 2021 Topic - MARY, DID YOU KNOW? Bible Text - But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” - Luke 1:30-31 If God had asked the women of Israel who wanted to be the mother of the Messiah, every one of them would have raised her hand. If they had known what that privilege would actually involve—becoming pregnant before marriage, enduring terrible gossip, watching helplessly as their Son was mocked, ridiculed, tortured and crucified—those hands would have come down in a hurry. Mary certainly didn’t volunteer for the job. And she was stunned to discover she’d been selected for such an important role. She handled the extraordinary situation with grace and humility. She asked one question to help her understand God’s plan, then agreed to it immediately. God has a plan for each of us. Ours may not be as earth-shattering as Mary’s. Ou...

Inside Jesus

DATE 28th June, 2023 TOPIC Inside Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE John 15:4 KJV Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. Inside Jesus Christ the Lamb of God is where we must dwell. Just like a baby is carried in the womb of her mother for months, so must all God's children follow. The anchor scripture reveals that we must abide inside the cleft or riven side of Jesus Christ just as He also dwells inside us. No child of God or minister should ever think that he or she is sufficient or has attained a certain height in Christ Jesus to stand alone or even abide by themselves.  Our productivity of bearing fruits in this world either by evangelism, good deeds, love or any action can only be possible when we are intimate with Christ as He is with us. Without Christ Jesus inside us we cannot or it is impossible to grow spiritually and physically. Inside Christ Jesus contains all life's resources and...

NOW

Date 📅 18th October, 2022 Topic NOW Living Scripture Hebrews 11:1,7 KJV Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [7] By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Now we begin to walk in the ways of faith and truth as our fathers in faith and mighty men of old and just as they witnessed the glory of God first hand so shall we if we act now. The perfect example is Noah and the ark, a man of grace and wisdom. The world was stained with disobedience, sinful ways and thick immoralities. And God decided to wipe the inhabitants of the earth with a great flood such as have never been before and even after. The heavens where ready to open the flood gates and the earth to let out her waters. When God spoke to Noah, he acted immediately and finished the ark on time and he eva...
