TOPIC: SPIRITUAL ADD UPS - PART 3
TEXT: 2 PETER 1:5-7
For this reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge self control; and to self control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
BODY
Blessed be the name of the lord God of host for another day to be under His feet. Continuing from where we got to yesterday. Today these 3 attitudes will be looked at Self control; perseverance and godliness. One of the key places self control must be applied has to do with our desire to put to bed the opposite sex. Self control must always be accompanied by perseverance (deciding at all cost). Without perseverance man will always fall to the schemes of the devil. Believers must persevere against fleshy desires, quest and love for material gains. We must focus on Godly gains which are of great essence to us spiritually.
In conclusion I will say this; our faith in the lord will get us closer to Him, adding goodness to our faith will help us be at peace with each other; studying for knowledge will indicate how our faith in the Lord has and will continue to increase. More so our desire to control our desires will create a clean heart in us and push us to the platform of purity. Amongst all, we can do this if we decide at all cost, our decision to follow Christ has been taken but we must at all cost hold on to it. This will prove to an unbeliever that the godly man can be transformed into. " the true nature of God". Tomorrow God willing we will continue with the Part 4. Keep following! Amen
PRAYER POINT
1. Prayer of Thanksgiving
2. Prayer for Self control, holding on to Godly decisions.
