TEXT: Philippians  2:15 

That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world;

It is quite clear that the children of this world aren't blameless and harmless. As a child of God, you are however instructed to be blameless and harmless in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation.

The greek word 'amemptos' from which blameless is taken can also mean free from fault or defect, while the Greek word 'akeraios' from which harmless is taken pertains to a mind without a mixture of evil. It is a mind that is simple, innocent and free from guile.

There are many reasons for which you may want to be harmful and blamable in this world, but God wants you to remain blameless and harmless. 

You must not be spotted with the defect, guile and evil, prevalent in this world though you are living in a crooked world. 

When Nathanael was brought to Jesus, He declared him as an Israelite indeed in whom there is no guile. (John 1:47). This means that he has no defect or mixture of evil within him. This is the kind of believer the LORD would have us become. A believer that is not mixed with impurity of evil. 

As a believer you must be quick to let go of evil, and offences before it leads to bitterness. You must be willing and ready to unwrap yourself from any form of evil. *Do not  pay evil for evil, because it only takes a person with evil in him to render evil for evil.* (1Peter 3:9).

 *Don't allow evil in our world to turn you into evil person yourself.* Don't be mixed with the impurity in our world, make up your mind to stay pure.

No matter how difficult the situation may appear, you must make up your mind to stay pure and free from all defects and guile.

*BIBLE READING* 

John 1:47-51.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Father, give me the grace to always remain blameless and harmless in Jesus name.

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...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
