Title: God In Your Room
Memorize: Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.– 2 Corinthians 7:1 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: Luke 19:5-6 (Nkjv)
5 And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” 6 So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully.
Message:
One evening, my Father in the Lord, Pa Josiah Akindayomi, taught us in Bible study that if a fellow stays in a house that is not tidy, God will never enter there. My wife and I were so bothered about the teaching that we couldn’t sleep until we carried out an emergency cleaning of our rooms and the children’s room that night despite being tired. We removed cobwebs, cleaned under our beds, and arranged wardrobes. Our children were not happy about the inconvenience, but we had to do what needed to be done.
ACTION POINT
Clean your room thoroughly this weekend.
Hymn 7: I Am Thine O Lord.
1 I am Thine, O Lord
I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Chorus:
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessd Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
3 Oh the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!
4 There are depths of love
that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy
that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
