SEPARATION 2

Text : 2Co 6:17 

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

If you are a child of God, you have been called to be Separated from the world. Without separation, you are not safe yourself and you cannot be a vessel in saving others. The men who have won souls and influenced other lives for 

God have been the men who have walked with God above the masses. 

The only way to win others is to be different ourselves and thus attract them by something they lack.

Now, separation has always been God's standard. Abraham had to leave his country,  and his father's home,  and in complete separation, he set out to a place he knew not. Gen. 12.

Yet,  separation for any and every child of God is an on-going process. Though Abraham had separated from his country and people,  later on in his journey, he still had to separate from Lot. 

Had Abraham gone to live with Lot in Sodom, his influence would have availed but little. It was when he separated himself and stood afar off on the highlands of faith with God that his intercessions secured Lot's deliverance. *LET US BE SEPARATED,.* 

Separation is still the call of God. "Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, " and "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers ".2 Cor. 6:14-18.

Let us remember that according to the word of God, we are pilgrims and strangers, we are sojourners, a heavenly people in a foreign country. 

Even the world expects Christians to be different.  

 *This is the time when every true Christian must be willing to obey the clear and emphatic command : "Come out from among them and be ye separate ".* 

 *May you receive the Grace to be that true Christian.* 

Bible reading: Genesis 12:1-20.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
