JOSEPH: STUDY ABOUT DIVINE RIGHTEOUSNESS PART 7
TEXT: Gen. 39: 7 - 12   
INTRODUCTION: In the last part of this series, we saw that everything that God allows is for a purpose, that sufferings always brings out the best in every person and that promotion is of the Lord. Today, as we continue our study, m ay God bless us richly in Jesus Name. Amen. 
1.  ADULTERY AND FORNICATI ON: THE DEVI L'S NO.1 WEAPON
Joseph was tempted sexually, as it was then, so it is now Heb. 13: 4. Satan knows how much God hates adultery and fornication, that is why he uses them as his number one weapon against growing Christians. Today, he has many “brothers” and “sisters” who are nothing but agents of the devil himself around. 
Gen. 39: 7-12; Exo. 20: 14; I Thess. 4: 3- 7; Pro. 5: 15- 21; Pro. 5: 3- 5; Pro. 6: 27- 29; Pro. 6: 32; Eph. 5: 3; I Cor. 6: 9, 15- 20
2.  KEEP YOURSELF PURE
Joseph refused to yield to the temptress Eph.  5: 27.  He refused to take the sugar-coated poison. Adultery and fornication are very potent poisons. Don't take them. Keep yourself pure and unspotted.  James 1: 15; I Pet.  2: 11; Matt. 5: 22; Ps. 24: 3- 4; James 1: 27
Further Readings: I Tim. 5: 22; Matt. 5: 48.

FRIDAY, 24TH JULY, 2020. THEME: DANGERS OF BACKSLIDING (1). MEMORY VERSE: And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.  Luke 9:62 BIBLE READING: 2 Peter 2:20-22 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. MESSAGE: Our God is a builder- He builds lives, and He has a plan for every single person here on earth. Jeremiah 29:11 says: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, though...

FRIDAY, JUNE 3RD 2022 THEME: LOVE FOREWARNS MEMORY VERSE:    For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 1 Thessalonians 5:2 BIBLE READING: Matthew 24:43 -51 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he l...
