Be Holy

TOPIC
Be Holy

LIVING SCRIPTURE
1 Peter 1:15-16 KJV
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; [16] Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.





Holiness is peculiar to the LORD our God and that is the same nature He shares with the church of Christ. God is not dressed in Holiness because He wants to show off like the pharisees, who appear holy but are actually the worst and the opposite of Holiness. God is holy within and without to the point that it is impossible for Him to utter a tiny lie. The bible records that His word is yes and Amen! His thoughts are purity itself and every word He says comes to pass.

Jesus Christ also walked in like manner because He believed in the ways of truth and holiness of the Father, not because he came from heaven. There are many today and in time past who were privileged to be born in families of Servants of God but they never believed in truth and holiness. Such like; the children of Eli (Hophni and Phinehas) - Samuel - 1 Samuel 8:1-3 KJV
And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel. 
[2] Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beer-sheba. 
[3] And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.

Holiness is not in our physical dressing but in the dressing of our hearts and minds by the help of the Holy Spirit. We need the vine dresser to prune us. Joseph the Son of Jacob practiced the ways of holiness and we see the outcome of his thoughts, conversations and actions.


TO-DO
Practice Philippians 4:8 daily..


PRAYER
Heavenly Father I need your Holy Spirit, I want to live a holy life.


DECLARATION OF FAITH:
When men are saying it is a casting down,
As for me and my household, it is a lifting up,
This is my year of I am a living wonder,
And my month of I am helped, Lifted & Made Strong,
I am an expression of God's grace, 
A wealthy Taborite, A celebrity in the class of kingdom celebrities,
The Father's Desire is my desire,
As for me, soul winning is my priority,
It does not matter, what is the matter,
I shall matter where it matters most.
God bless my pastor's & God bless me too,
Tabor family! A people favored by God.

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...

I Know Him

Date - January 25th, 2022 Topic - I Know Him Bible Tex t - Then [Jesus] asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:15-16 How can people describe the ocean when they have not experienced it? How would they explain the waves that crash against the rocks or the shifting of the sand as the tide tugs at the shoreline? Are they able to put into words how the sand feels between their toes or describe the majesty of an endless blue horizon? Until they have taken a dip in the salty, white-frothed ocean, their descriptions would be limited. Perhaps that is why Jesus asked the disciples to define their faith in him on a personal level rather than rely on what others had to say about him. Jesus challenged them to base their definition of who he was on the reality of what they had seen, heard, and experienced about him.  Today, many stand in public platforms and attempt to define Jesus as a good man, a teach...

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...
