TOPIC: In The World, But Not Of The World (II) (Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries Tuesday, 31 July 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 John 5:4-5

MEMORY VERSE: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”1 John 2:15

The MESSAGE:

As Christians, we have been called out of the world which is characterised by darkness of sin unto the kingdom of God. John 3:16 says, “For God so love the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” The love of God for the people in the world of sin propelled Him to seek solution to the problem of sin that has enslaved human race since the beginning of creation. He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to save human race from eternal damnation. The blood of His sacrifice separates those who accepted and believe Him from condemnation of sin. As Christ has saved us and separated us to Himself to enjoy the benefits of the kingdom life, He expects us to go out to help others by proclaiming the gospel to them.

As the salt of the earth, you are to preserve the world from decay and to sweeten it through His word. As the light of the world, you are to attract people, show the way and to lighten the darkness of their lives to the extent that they will glorify God (Matthew 5:10-16). As a child of God in the world, you are supposed to portray the nature of God such that those who observe your lifestyle will have an idea of what God is like. God expects you to love everyone, whether they merit it or not, to do good without expecting reward from men and to be merciful and to give liberally. There are attributes that show that you are not of the world. Though you are on earth, your focus is on the above where Christ is (Colossians 3:3). Those of the world only love those who have something to offer them, not even those who love them. They do good to those who can repay them in multiple folds. Their concern is what they stand to benefit. You as a child of God have been separated from that lifestyle to live the kingdom lifestyle.

As a Christian who is conscious of heaven and the coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, you should strive not to conform to this world because the world will not want to leave you alone. It will use its riches and pleasure to entice you through your friends and loved ones, especially the people that you respect most. Remember that a life that is separated to Christ must be disciplined and regimented.

You should be able to say NO to anything that contradicts the word of God and get rid of the spirit of compromise. You have become a standard of God for those that need salvation. Let your life attract the dying sinners to Jesus as you are going out today and the blessings of the Lord will overshadow you.
