Holiness from within

DATE: September 4th, 2021

TOPIC: Holiness from Within

BIBLE TEXT: 1peter 1vs14 – As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance.
Vs15 – but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation.
Vs16 – because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 

Holiness can be perceived from a man’s conversation and way of life. Holiness is not based wholly on your dressing or outfit alone but also on your purity and cleanliness of thoughts and intents of your heart. Holiness from within a believer’s life is like a garment showing their true state and appearance before the Lord. Our Lord Jesus Christ addressed the Pharisees and other religious sects concerning holiness and what it stands for. Holiness is not a man-made doctrine but a nature and way of life, of righteous men and women.
Luke 11vs39 – And the Lord said unto him, “Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
Vs40 – Ye fools, did he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

We need to take care of our inner man by accepting clean thoughts according to God’s word in Philippians 4vs8. Our God is holy, Christ Jesus is holy and the Holy Spirit in total purity. Stop living a fake life or a deceitful one, you’ll end up deceiving yourself and misleading others. God wants our hearts and life to be holy, let us live by his words.


Prayers: Heavenly Father, I receive the grace to live a holy life from within to without in Jesus name.

Insight: Be ye holy, for God is holy.

The Narrow Path

DATE : September 12, 2021 TOPIC : The Narrow Path BIBLE TEXT: Matthew 7v13&14 – Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. The road to eternity is a narrow path, with a single choice. There are no alternatives into eternity. It is either you walk through the narrow way into heaven or you follow the broad path that leads men (souls) to hell fire. God sent His only Son to die for mankind, creating the way, the truth and the life, to all who believe in Christ Jesus. It is either you make a choice to follow Jesus or you walk straight into hell. Many are searching for this path in the wrong direction, places, traditions, customs, beliefs and religions but cannot find it there. Only those that hear about the Kingdom of Heaven coming soon and believe in Jesus Christ shal...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

The Good Slow

DATE 📅 19th September, 2022 TOPIC The Good Slow LIVING SCRIPTURE Habakkuk 2:3 KJV For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. A mango tree starts from a seed planted in the soil, from a mango fruit. It usually takes weeks or sometimes days for the leaves to grow or sprout and then it takes years before it can produce those edible mango fruits which we all like to chew. Likewise a young child cannot start behaving like a grown man or handling responsibilities automatically. Just like the fruits that once started as a seed, so is the LORD'S work everyday for His children if only we believe that it is settled. To tarry is to delay a thing or a matter, but the Lord said, it will surely come to pass it will no longer delay. Sometimes we experience the tarrying process and many think God is slow and not responsive to their needs. Many seek out alternati...
