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.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

THE EASY WAY

Date 📅 23rd September, 2022 Topic The Easy Way Living Scripture Matthew 7:13 KJV 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 thereat: There are many ways and roads in life both spiritually and physically but the paths we choose to walk on determines our destination at the end. This world is full of sin and disobedience and selfishness, it has a wide gate welcoming everyone and it's paths are broad to gather much people in order to destroy their lives. Lying has become part of the way of so many today even some part of the church lie and claim it's the easy way out of troubles and confrontations. The easy way or short cut as it is often mentioned is not the way of life neither the way of righteousness. Looking for the easy way is looking for death, it is an invitation to false spirits that corrupts and pollutes. Let us seek to know the true path that leads to life and life in...

PECULIAR PEOPLE

Date 📅 31st August, 2022 Topic Peculiar People  Living Scripture 1 Peter 2:9 KJV But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: In the beginning God the Father was and is and is to come for a particular kind of people as He once did with Adam and eve in Eden. He created the heavens and the earth and everything that lives and breathes. And by the power of His Word He made man in His own image and likeness. Therefore man was made right from the beginning to be peculiar and fit for the glory of God. There was no plan in God's holy palm to reduce man to a pauper, it was our sinful ways and disobedience that caused us to fall short of this beautiful inheritance our first father once partook of. A peculiar People stands different, out of the ordinary, unusual and unpredictable from a specific clan or place. The scripture reads t...
