DON'T BE DECEIVED


 *Text:* 1Cor. 15:33 


 *Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.* 


A number of times,  we tend to deceive ourselves, and self-deception is one of the greatest forms of evils anyone can do against himself. 


 *Don't overestimate yourself,  if God warns against self-deception,  it means everyone has that tendency.* 


Today, God wants you to look into your league of association-  the different people in your life and to check if their influence over you is positive or negative. 


 *Everyone in your life is either adding to you or taking from you, there's no middle ground.* 


If as a student your league of friends are those who lightly esteem good grades and quality education, don't deceive yourself by thinking they can't influence you, evil communications will ultimately corrupt good manners. 


Don't be deceived,  if the company you keep is having bad influence on you, then change company, else they will change you negatively. 


2 Corinthians  6:17 says Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 

To break free from some addictions, you need to change your circle of friends. 


To fulfil the mandate of God upon your life, you may need to change the company you keep. 

To break free from the Spirit of mediocrity,  you may have to break free from some associations. 


To stay happily married to your spouse, you may have to let go of the friends you keep, their advice and lifestyle may be your undoing if you stick with them.


As a matter of fact, you may need to change your place of worship if your church is not following the doctrines of Christ.


Don't think for once that the people around you have no influence over you, surely they do. The big question however is, is their influence positive or negative?


DON'T BE DECEIVED, EVIL COMMUNICATIONS CORRUPT GOOD MANNERS,  BREAK AWAY FROM EVERY UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP. 



 *BIBLE READING* : 


2 Samuel 13:1-19.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1.  I receive the grace to break away from every unhealthy relationship in Jesus name.

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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
