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...

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...
