TOPIC: Pursue Peace Earnestly 1
TEXT: Heb. 12:13-15 

MESSAGE
It is the duty of Christians even when in a suffering state and face-off to follow men with peace. Two wrongs cannot make right. It is not Mathematics where two negatives become plus . Wrong is wrong. We have to prove ourselves as God's children to follow the examples of Christ especially at the scene of His arrest where He picked up the ear of Marcus and divinely gummed or restored it. It shows maturity and Christianity, if we follow the path of peace even with those who are instrumental to our suffering. It is a hard and difficult lesson which should be highly attained for those who profess Christianity which Christ himself has called us into. It is almost a compulsion but necessary to live peaceably with all men as Roman 12: 18 states "If it is possible for as much as it lieth in you, live peaceably with all men." 

Verse 14 of our text instructs
 "Follow peace with all men and holiness without which no man can see God".



 Peace and holiness are twined, they go hand in hand. We must not under pretence of living in peace with men leave the ways of holiness. Beloved, holiness is the ground on which peace must be cultivated. True Christian holiness is never found separate from peace. Thirdly is the sentence "without which no man can see God". A placid peaceably disposition contributes much to our meetness in heaven. It becomes laughable to see Christians stirring up themselves for trouble or even becoming offensive. Let us chide away anger, wrath, unforgiveness, hatred and embrace peace. Good morning. 

PRAYER POINTS: 
(START WITH PRAISE & WORSHIP..)
1. Thank God for a new day.
2.  Pray God to enable you pursue and follow after peace with everyone.
3.  Ask God for the Holy Spirit to lead you in the path of righteousness and holiness.
4.  Pray that you should not be a cast away on the last day.

Heart Not Garment - 2

By Date -
"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

The True Picture Of The Church Today II

By Date -
THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: Sunday 7th, June 2020. TOPIC: The True Picture Of The Church Today II TEXT: Rev. 3:15  MESSAGE "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot".Vs 15, so then because thou art lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Lukewarmness and indifference in religion is the worst tempter in the world. The husband of a lukewarm wife is always confused as he would not know when and how to please the wife. So are members of the church whose heart cannot be determined. They are between two opinions. We also have these in the church because they are high minded and proud, they have unknowingly overlooked the necessity of their souls as they gorgeously dressed up in Costly apparel at the expense and decay of their souls, making them to be wretched poor and miserable.  Also there is the state of blindness which the devil is using against the church today which has made them very weak and defensele...
