True Religion

DATE: September 21, 2021

TOPIC: True Religion

BIBLE TEXT: James 1vs27 – Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their afflictions and to keep himself unspotted from the world.


Religion has many definitions and has caught many hearts into webs of various forms of beliefs, principles, a particular system of faith and worship practiced. But the word of God defines a true religion as one that is pure and not a false/deceitful practice of ignorance. It has to do with holiness from within. It must be undefiled, one void of pollution and corruption and every form of the works of the flesh. (In our minds and hearts). God must acknowledge your charitable works for it to count just like Cornelius in Acts 10, who practiced a true religion and it came up to God as a memorial.

Are you looking out for the poor, the widows, the fatherless and those in affliction? Jesus Christ concerned Himself with these group of people while on earth and had a pure heart towards them for distribution. Out of a pure heart God wants us to obey Him and keep away from the standards of this world. Christ Jesus is coming soon for those who believe in Him and obeys His words and not for those with wrong religious thoughts. Earnestly He seeks a church without spots and wrinkle (stains and things that disfigure our lives before Him). 

Remember the word of God says in John 4vs24 …… and they that must worship Him (live for Him) must worship Him in spirit and truth. Without these our pursuits for true religion will be invain.


Prayer: Heavenly Father, please forgive my ignorance on what I thought was true religion. From today dear LORD, help me to follow what your word says, in Jesus name.

Insight: Be a doer of God’s word and practice true religion in Christ.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

DO TI NOW

May 11th – Capsule 11 TOPIC : DO IT NOW BIBLE TEXT : Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Ephesians 5 vs. 16 How many times have you said, “I will do it tomorrow?” sometimes you put somethings off because you don’t think you know enough, can’t do it well enough. The fact is, there is no magic age at which excellence emerges and quality suddenly surfaces. Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he began his Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated The Law of Gravity. A second danger is to think that creativity and invention belong to the young. Not so! Emmanuel Kant wrote his finest philosophical work at age 74. Verdi at 80 produced crossing the Bar, and Michelangelo completed his greatest work at 87, Moses was 80 when he led God’s people out of Egypt and 120 when he got to Canaan. Seize the day! Redeem the new moments of your life. Because the time and age ...
