DO YOU LOVE WORLDLY MUSIC? (Part 1)

By Kelvin Efekhaese Worldly musics (and even videos) are one of the greatest instruments the devil uses against humans, especially the teenagers and youths. Satan uses these to capture hearts and minds, and people to his kingdom, which is hell fire! Demons and evil spirits love any word and song that damns (curse) and displeases (deglorify) GOD. See! Worldly musics are unclean, immoral, carnal, lustful, irresponsible, unprofitable (fruitless) and dead (lifeless) musics. This implies that worldly demons uses them to promote and produce uncleanness, immorality, carnality, lusts, irresponsibility, fruitlessness (uncreativeness) and death (stagnancy) in people and lives. Worldly music is an entranceway to do the works and practices of the flesh; that means that those who delight and live in it shall not inherit the Kingdom of GOD (check Galatians 5:19-21).

Increasing in the Knowledge of God

Sunday 21st February, 2016 Activity: Sunday School Bible Readings: Hosea 4:1-6, 2 Tim. 4:1-5, Prov. 3:1-10 Memory Verse: “The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.” Proverbs 9:10 Introduction Another very important and strong meaning of “Pleasing God” is to hungrily desire to know more about God at all times. It would be an understatement to say that there is a worrisome paucity of the TRUE Word of God, not only in the world today, but even regrettably, in the churches amongst the people called “the children of God.” Brethren, the admonition in Joshua 1:8 is not for fun! It is for the divine purpose of “Pleasing God.” This is so because when we are diligent in our desire to know more about God, we will know what is pleasing and acceptable unto him. So today, our Senior Teacher, the Holy Spirit of God shall explain to us what it means to increase in the knowledge of God, why we need to so increase and the benefits of our increasing in the knowledge of God. Happy study, brethren
