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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
