Topic: Work Worthy Of The Lord 14
Text: Philippians 1:27-28  
"Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God."

Reflection:
God is no longer looking for stone memorials that were lifted up in the Old Covenant. He wants living stones as a holy nation of priests lifting up holy lives as a memorial to His greatness.
What type of memorial does God want from us? He no longer wants stone monuments He now wants living stone memorials. 1 Peter 2:5 as living stones we are to be the memorials that are lifted up to Jesus. Here in Philippians 1:27-30 Paul tells us exactly how we can be that living memorial.

I. Your conduct should be a memorial to Jesus.
Paul begins by saying, “Just one thing.” The Greek word monon means alone or only. Paul was telling the Philippians this one thing is essential as a believer. Live your life worthy of the Gospel.
Meanwhile, live in such a way that you are a credit to the Message of Christ (Message of Phil 1.27)

II. Your consistency should a memorial to Jesus
Paul wanted the Philippian believers to live a consistently Christian life whether he was present or not. He used the Greek word steko which is translated stand firm. It was used of a soldier who would stand firm and hold their ground even in the face of powerful enemy attack.
The only way to be consistent in our conduct is to be consistent in our fellowship with Jesus.

What is consistency or integrity? Letting your yes be yes and your no be no. You do what you say you will do. You are what you say you are. Jesus was clear that our consistency is measured by our actions and not by our words. It is our consistent character that is kindled in the Holy fire of the presence of Jesus.

Prayer: 
Father, please help me to be consistent in your service in Jesus Name 🙇🏽‍♂️

Peculiar People. Part 2 THE RIGHT TO BECOME THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

THE RIGHT TO BECOME THE CHILDREN OF GOD.  John 1:12-13   But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. It is a common thing for a child to call someone his Father or somebody called a child his son. There are lots of things to consider before someone could be the real Father or real son . Sometimes there may be a need for DNA test to be sure. We remember Chief MKO Abiola of blessed memory. In his WILL demanded a DNA test for all his other children apart the children of his first wife. When he was alive he take them as children but now he wanted to prove that they are truly his children. For the prove of the right of God children, apart from Our Lord Jesus Christ, all other children of God will undergo DNA test. Matt 3:16-17 Let us break the Topic into two parts. The Right to become.... Children of God. What i

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional Monday 25th March 2024 Topic: Hidden Treasures 25 - Divine Treasure Text: Matthew 6:19-21   "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Reflection:  “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth…” What is our “treasure”? As God’s children, do we know what should be our real treasure? The word “treasures” refer not just to money, or material wealth, but also to anything that we highly value, or we greatly enjoy or delight in. Not only gold or our bank accounts, but we can greatly value our job, family, hobby, friends, ambitions, or whatever material possession. We can also treasure our own personal beliefs, behavior, lifestyle, or even our lifetime i

April Online Seminar - Day 2

April Online Seminar  Theme: God's Workmanship.  Text: Ephesians 2:10  "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them" INTRODUCTION  God calls us His workmanship or His artwork, from the Greek word poiēma. We are something crafted, with skill and a purpose, by God, for His purposes. Specifically, we are "created in Christ Jesus for good works." Good works do not give us salvation, but they are absolutely meant to be the result of salvation. THE TRUTH  The truth that Christ’s believers are God’s workmanship reflects His works of creation, redemption, provision, and sanctification in every believer’s life. This workmanship displays the greatness and the goodness of the loving Creator. IN CHRIST JESUS The words “in Christ Jesus” is the ground upon which salvation rests. When God makes a new creature out of a sinner, He does it in Christ Jesus. He and He alone is the only w
