"ALCOHOL AND IMMORALITY"

"Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things." (Proverbs 23:33)

TEXT READING: Proverbs 23:29-35

Ephesians 5:18 says you should be so full of the Spirit and not with wine. That means, you should be so full of the Spirit that there will be no room for any spirit of liquor to occupy. If you are not full of the Holy Spirit and you drink beer or alcohol, you cannot avoid confusion. Those who take alcohol will most likely find sexual sins attractive. Some of them have as a result gone into incestuous intercourse with their daughters or relatives or even rape. Alcohol makes one more vulnerable to sexual sins. If you were struggling with your flesh and you start taking alcohol, you will descend into a deeper level of bondage. Verse 33 of today's reading says, "Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things."

Some Christians will build their personal house and instead of creating a prayer room there, they will have a bar where they will stock different kinds of wines. When you try to dissuade them, even their wives will rise up in defense. Don't be surprise to find that they are already having mistresses outside, and if care is not taken, the strange women that are now more appealing to them may drive away their legitimate wife and take over. That shall not be your portion in Jesus' name!

The truth is, any Christian sister who allows her husband to drink alcohol is simply setting the stage for strange things to happen in her home. Is your husband saying, 'it is just a little harmless sip once in a long while'. Remember a little occasional sip today will become an uncontrollable gush tomorrow. Be warned!

In addition, having a bar in a Christian home completely negates the ethics of godliness. It is an invitation to the spirit of liquor to have its permanent above in that house. That house will no longer have peace! Having a bar in your home is having an altar for Satan in that home. You can be sure that the Holy Spirit will simply step aside. Believers' homes should be identified by the serenity of the place and by the provision of a prayer room for God. You should have an altar where God will meet with you daily. If you don't convert your bar or one of your rooms into such an altar for the King of kings today!

Key Point: If you truly want Jesus Christ living in your house, remove all thrones you have created for the devil.

Beloved, only you can determined how you want to be remembered. God has a mandate for your life....fulfill it!

“God Will Not Forget You”

“Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee” (Isaiah 49:15). G od never becomes preoccupied or neglectful toward one of His children. God said it would be more likely for a nursing mother to forget the infant at her breast than for Him to forget one of His children! The nursing mother has a keen sensitivity to her baby. Even if the infant is in another room the mother's senses are in tune with her child. The mother knows when it is time to feed and care for the child. The mother never becomes so preoccupied with other things that she neglects the needs of her child. It is fitting that God chose this imagery to describe how He looks after His people, for He (God) is more sensitive to the needs of His children than even the most loving mother. He anticipates every cry for help. Even before we can call out in need, God is responding with His answer. The...

"KEEP MOVING FORWARD"

W hether it is convenient with the devil or his agents or not, God will move you forward on every side this month in Jesus name. Delays and stagnation is not your portion. God said through Moses to Israel in Exodus 14, "Tell my people to go forward" Have you tried running forward and looking backward at the same time? It is almost impossible to run effectively forward and look backward at the same time. You might even bump into something that might hurt you along the line. That is how difficult it is for people that are dwelling on their past and expect to move forward. Stop looking at where you have been and start looking at where you can be. You must understand that you can never change the past; you can only work on your future. The devil will make you dwell on your past, so that he can succeed slowing you down. You must understand that we have all made mistakes in the past and we are most likely going to make more without knowing it. Every great man or woman...

I WORK FOR GOD, NOT MAN

"Servants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not only when their eyes are on you as pleasers of men, but in simplicity of purpose [with all your heart] because of your reverence for the Lord and as a sincere expression of your devotion to Him. Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, Knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [and not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [real] reward. [The One Whom] you are actually serving [is] the Lord Christ.” (Colossians 3:22-24) Amplifier This message is a confirmation of what God has kept in the kitty with counsel to create the balance between the life tripod: work, family and you. Sometimes we appear to be burnt out because of pressure, dissatisfaction, chaos and lack of fulfillment. Here is God's counsel concerning you:
