THE GARMENT

Text :  2 Peter 1:10.

Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;

For you to make your call and election sure, you must put on the wedding garment. This garment according to Colossians 3:10 is the new man.
*"And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him"* 

Having been called into God's Kingdom, you must seek conformity after the image of Him that created and called you. (Romans. 8:29). Any believer that does not actively seek to be conformed to the image of Christ, may be in danger of not having his or her wedding garment on. 

To have the wedding garment on, you must do the following:

1.Put on the new man (Colossians 3:10). The new man can only be renewed in knowledge. The more of His knowledge you seek, the more He will reveal you to you and show you what He want you to be.

2.Put on bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;  Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, ...(Colossians 3:12&13). It is your responsibility to see to it that you walk with the Holy Ghost in birthing these virtues in your life. It's not a gift,  you must work it out yourself. 

3.Put on charity.
 *"And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness"* (Col. 3:14). Like the other virtues, you must be intentional in walking in charity (love) towards all.

You must allow the Holy Spirit prepare you with the wedding garment that contains all the above.

Bible  Reading:

Mathew 22:2-14.

PRAYER FOCUS

Father God, help me to always yield to your leadings within me so that I can be ready for the marriage supper of the lamb.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
