Be Holy

DATE

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.

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 FIRST WITNESSES

Date - December 22nd, 2021 Topic - THE FIRST WITNESSES   Bible Text - When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. - Luke 2:17-18 As anyone who has ever been part of a living nativity can tell you, the shepherds played an important role in the Christmas story. Angels announced Jesus’ birth to them. Since angels only do God’s bidding, it’s safe to say God wanted the shepherds involved. Naturally the shepherds were overwhelmed and frightened at first. But the angels calmed their fears. They headed off to Bethlehem, as the angels directed, unsure of exactly why they had been summoned by God. They had no gifts to give the baby or the young couple. They really had nothing to offer at all. Yet they went to see all that the angels had told them about. As a result, the shepherds were the only witnesses, besides Mary and Joseph, to Jesus’ first hours on ea...
