BE SEPERATED


TEXT:Proverbs 27:22 

You cannot separate fools from their foolishness, even though you grind them like grain with mortar and pestle.

Though, no one likes to be named or tagged a fool, but when you keep repeating same error or going back to your vomit, you are simply acting foolishly. 

To act foolishly once in a while or for the first time, may not necessarily make a person a fool. But when a person continually grows inseparable from his or her folly, then that makes the person a fool.

While repentance is  part and parcel of our salvation package, it should also be seen as a daily and regular practices. Hence, when you discover your wrong, sin or mistakes against  others or even yourself, you must be eager to genuinely repent and forsake such sin or wrong.

If a person  however, keeps going back to the same sin or wrong, then such one has directly or indirectly becomes a fool.

The scripture put it thus:   As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly. (Proverbs  26:11). It is clear from this scripture that anyone who keeps going back to his or her vomit is a fool.

As believers, God expects that we should be quick to repent and to refrain from our sins or wrongs. We must constantly be undergoing separation from our sins or wrongs once the Lord reveals it to us.

 There can't be upward growth in one's life except there is  continual repenting from and forsaking of our sins and wrongs.

Think about a little child  learning how to walk.It will just be fine for him to fall and rise many times. There won't be any cause for alarm. But, if the falling and rising continues as the child grows even to adolescent, then that's a big problem. While anyone may fall at any age, but such must never be a continuous experience. 1 John 2:1.

In the same manner, God wants to separate us from every form of foolishness in order for us to experience true growth in Him.

May we grow up into God, and outgrow all sins and wrongs in the name of Jesus.

 BIBLE READING : 

1 John 2:1-6.

 PRAYER FOCUS

1. I receive the grace and power to outgrow and live above occurrence of same wrongs, sins and mistakes in the name of Jesus.

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 ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
