Topic: Work Worthy Of The Lord 24 - A Winsome Walk 3
Text: 1 Corinthians 10:23-24  
"All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth."

Reflection: 
Trust Him only. Flee idolatry always.

Reasons to limit personal freedom 10:23-11:1

1.Seek to pursue the best over the good.
All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable.
Out of all the things that could not be labeled wrong, not all things are useful. Not all things will bring me or others of God benefit. Not all things are appropriate. Many of the things we do or choose to give our time to have not evil connections in themselves but to delegate most of our time to such things in light of the soon coming of Christ brings no eternal benefit. Paul urges us to consider the eternal benefit in the things we do.

2.Seek to build up those around me. Vs 
All things are lawful, but not all things edify. Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor. Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience' sake; FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND ALL IT CONTAINS. If one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience' sake. But if anyone says to you, "This is meat sacrificed to idols," do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience' sake; I mean not your own conscience, but the other man's; for why is my freedom judged by another's conscience? If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered concerning that for which I give thanks?
Paul urges us to consider focusing on those around us. Seek the good of our neighbor. Be concerned about the welfare of those around us. Choose to build them up. Avoid tripping them or tearing them down by our selfish choices.

Prayer: 
Father, help me to seek the good and benefit of my neighbor in Jesus Name 🙇🏽‍♂️

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Friday 21st February 2025  Topic: Love, Acceptance And Forgiveness 21 - Are You Accepted 2 Text: Ephesians 4:29-30   "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." Reflection:  Continuation From Yesterday's Devotional. If we could truly get hold of, really understand, that we are accepted, adopted, blameless, chosen, forgiven, predestined, and sealed by God’s Holy Spirit on the basis of Christ’s atoning work, we would be so busy praising God all the day long that we would find no opportunity for petty differences. God was satisfied by Christ for sin, Jesus died because I deserved to die. Jesus took my place and died for me. Scripture says that He actually became us: "He who knew no sin, was made sin for us," (2 Corinthians 5:2...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Wednesday 15th January 2025  Topic: From Darkness To Light 15 - Repentance And Faith  Text: Acts 26:18  "To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me." Reflection:  Repentance and faith are fundamental to salvation, over and over in the scripture we read the word "repent" because "the kingdom of heaven is at hand", the scripture teaches that "God commandeth all men everywhere to repent" and Jesus warned us that "except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish" sin is as natural to the posterity of Adam as wallowing in the mud is natural to swine, so the word repentance is not a beloved thought for those who have beloved sins, but "without holiness no man shall see the lord." What is true repentance? In true repentanc...
