Sin not Against Your Own Body 
Memory Verse :- 1 Corinthians  6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
Bible Reading :- 1Cor 6: 1 - 20
Message
Your body as a believer is the temple of God that must be kept holy for the scripture says holiness becometh thy house Oh Lord. Saints of God are commanded to abstain from every form of filthiness especially fornication and adultery because it is a sin against our body in which God dwells. 

This commandment of God is not grievous to them that are born by Him for it is written that they that are born of God keep themselves and the wicked one [the devil] cannot touch them; this is the more reason why you need to abstain from fornication.

If you go into it, it is not easy to be repented of because it demands open confession before you can be free. You will have to confess it to your spouse if you are married after God might have forgiven you; and to the whole congregation if you are a worker in His vineyard.

That apart, if Joseph was able to stand firmly against it in the Old Testament dispensation, you and I have no excuse today to indulge in the sin of fornication. This is the dispensation of grace and the Bible says sin shall not have dominion over you, for we are under the dispensation of grace and not the law [ Rom 6:14].

Fornication and adultery according to the scripture is a sin against your own body [1Cor. 6:18]; it a pollution and defilement that the Lord hates and he said that anything that defiles shall in no wise enter into heaven[Rev 21:27].

Have you fallen into fornication or adultery, cover it up not with activities in the house of God because it will all amount to labour of iniquity for Christ will tell such workers on the last day depart from me, I know you not, ye workers of iniquity. Do not deceive yourself, repent and make your restitution before it is too late.

Confession of the Day
 My body is the temple of God, I will keep it holy by His grace.

Prayer Points

Heavenly father, help me to live above sin and defilement every day of my life in Jesus name.
Grace abounded where sin is much more abound, therefore give me more grace to flee fornication and adultery.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved the

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they

SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS

May 3 SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. — PHILIPPIANS 4:19 It is God’s will that our needs be met. All of them! Philippians 4:19 includes all of your needs (all means all!), whether spiritual, physical, material, or financial. Believe that! Lest someone think that God is not concerned about our financial needs, this verse is set in a context which discusses material and financial affairs. Read it and you will see that the Philippians had taken up an offering of money and goods to send to other Christians. Paul was telling them, “Because you have given to others and have helped them, my God shall supply all your need.” So Paul was talking about material and financial matters. With what boldness, then, we can pray for finances to meet our obligations! Having all of our needs met is according to God’s will! Confession: When I pray concerning finances, I pray according to God’s Word — His will. Therefore, I am confid
