*Pursue Purity* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"I made a solemn pact with myself never to undress a girl with my eyes."* (Job 31:1 (The Message))
_Bible Insight:_
Dear Believer,
For the sake of your purity and sanity, don't fall for the trap of leaked sex videos or gists parading the internet. Don't be careless with what you allow into your mind. What we see with our eyes stays long in our minds.
Do you know the enemy has a game plan to pollute your mind and distract you from your consecration to God? These things are not out there by accident o. We don't get corrupted when we do the act, the corruption starts from our minds. Don't give the devil a play ground in your soul!
If you have fallen into sinful sexual habits, don't hide. Sin festers and grows in the dark. Become accountable to spiritual leadership and mentorship, preferably someone of the same sex. Let someone who is mature watch over you in prayers and counselling.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Until you place a gate over what you see and hear, your mind (heart) is not protected! Password your heart/mind by limiting what you hear or see to only things that edify!"* -- David Joshua Egbochuo

*'Woke' but Spiritually Asleep*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"The Master said: "These people make a big show of saying the right thing, but their hearts aren't in it. Because they act like they're worshiping me but don't mean it."* (Isaiah 29:13 (The Message))
_Bible Insight:_
It's always baffling to read and hear Christians who seem to know so much about the secular world but who know so little about spirituals.
"Michael Brown", "Curry Blake", "Paul Washer" and Gbile Akani sound like Nonexistent Latin Legends in our ears but we know so much about the names, record labels, girlfriends, side chics and travel tours of many secular musicians.
No one is asking you to be be ignorant of your surroundings but how do up justify being a Christian but being so unaware of those who should be role models and sources of inspiration yet so aware and familiar with merchants of carnal living?
We keep acting like the God of the Bible is a scam meanwhile we are so in love with this world and so devoted to a million idols in a way that takes the bulk of our affection and attention.
Modern Christians should be fair enough to just admit that God isn't a priority. We are just using Him to make us look like we still have some goodness left in us.
_MEDITATION:_
*"I wonder when we will be brave enough to just take a stand instead of Paying lip service to a Deity we don't find worthy of devotion."*

*Eat Before Going*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"When you meet together, one person has a song, and another has a teaching. Another has a new truth from God. Another speaks in a different language, and another person interprets that language. The purpose of all these things should be to help the church grow strong."* (1 Corinthians 14:26 New Century Version (NCV))
_Bible Insight:_
We were taught to eat before going to any party so that your eyes won't be on the food. So that you won't get angry when the food does not reach you on time, or at all. So that if the food comes, you are fine, and if it somehow misses you, you are fine. So that you can enjoy the event without distraction. It will be good if good food reaches you but you are not dependent on it. It is the delicious extra that comes on what you have already eaten.
That is how church should be for every Christian. The beautiful extra. Your personal walk with God should be so healthy that whether the word hits you or goes over your head, whether the pastor preaches sense or nonsense, you will be fine. You can enjoy serving God without distraction. It would be good if there was a word for you every Sunday, but you are not dependent on it. It is the glorious icing on the cake of your vital relationship with God.
70% of what God is doing in your life should be in the secret place. 30% or less should be the public worship. When this is so, you will always overflow. You will never burn out. You will not have ups and downs. When others are angry and offended, your peace and joy will flow like a river. When they are falling into pride and sin, your righteousness will shine like the Son.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Church is not a social gathering where you come to charge your spiritual phones. No it is a city lighting up the world - set on a hill that cannot be hidden, a chosen generation separated, a royal priesthood interceding, a peculiar people lifted, a holy nation worshipping; showing forth the praises of Him who called them out of darkness, into His marvelous light.-- That is the Church."*

*Pursue Purity*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart."* (2 Timothy 2:22 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Five things you must understand about purity include:
1. Purity is not a point we cross; it's an ongoing pursuit.
Purity is found in the pursuit of God's presence. If you are not after God, you are not going to be pure.
2. Replace "weakness" with "wickedness" when dealing with lust.
Our biggest issue is that we misdiagnose our problem. We call sexual sin a "weakness" instead of what it is – wickedness. We call it "defeat" instead of "disobedience." Therefore, we are "working on it" instead of "repenting."
3. Control what you consume.
What we watch, listen to, and read can bring contamination to our hearts, causing them to be far from purity.
4. Flee lust; don't flirt with it or fight it.
The Bible doesn't call us to fight lust but to flee it. Lust is stronger than you - you can't win. God's remedy is to RUN! Like Joseph did. The reason why many don't flee lust is because they lack fear of God.
5. Your tribe determines your vibe.
Purity thrives within a godly community. Your environment is crucial. Bananas don't grow in Alaska due to the climate. Similarly, without the right community, your pursuit of purity may become impossible" (2 Tim 2:22).

*Ministry Musings* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine."* (2 Timothy 4:1-2 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
No guest minister is responsible for building a local assembly. It is the work of the Pastor in charge of the flock.
Special meetings carry much intensity as we sit for hours learning God's word and praying and yes, there can be great experiences powerful enough to position the church for more growth, *however, it's the regular weekly meetings that give depth to the flock.*
Hence, the Pastor cannot outsource the growth of the members to guest ministers. He must be well trained and grounded to train men.
Annual conventions and camp meetings are great but the church doesn't grow mainly on these. Also, when the people aren't aware of this, they honor guest ministers who show up once a year while despising those who labour over them every week by not showing up well for the meetings.
_MEDITATION:_
*Ministry is the Father's business
We have been called to mind this
It must be done with every sense of urgency, And with much dedication & consistency. Teaching! Praying!
Witnessing! Our sufficiency is of God!*
