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.

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.  (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.  (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

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 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...
