TOPIC: BE STEADFAST
BY PASTOR E A ADEBOYE AND PASTOR (MRS) FOLU ADEBOYE
MEMORISE: So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Revelation 3:16
READ: Matthew 24:4
[4]And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
MESSAGE
Some believers say, "Once saved, forever saved." However, I do not agree with this. This is because if a believer constantly commits sin, the Holy Spirit will leave him or her, and in no time, the fellow will no longer be called a believer but a sinner
Once you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour, your Christian race has begun, and you become a target for the devil. He will keep trying until he gets you to become lukewarm so that God can spit you out of His mouth. I pray that you will not fall prey to the wiles of the devil, in Jesus' name.
Beloved, you must be careful of the devil and his cohorts, who sometimes appear as sheep. You also have to be mindful of the company you keep, the conversations you engage in, the kind of songs and messages you listen to, and the places you go, so that you do not derail from the way of the Lord. God will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear; therefore, watch and pray so that you don't fall by the way.
PRAYER POINT
Father, please uphold me with the right hand of Your righteousness, in Jesus' name.
BIBLE IN A YEAR 1 Kings 20:1-21:29 Acts 12:24-13:15
HYMN 6 - MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS
1. My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
CHORUS
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2. When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
3. His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
In Him, my righteousness, alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
