*_Maintaining Godly Character_*
*Text:* Hebrews 13:4-8
*Key Verse*
Heb.13.8 - Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
In our previous lesson in this chapter, we were encouraged to possess agape love which is the God's kind of love.
Anyone who claims to be a child of God and doesn't demonstrate it, is deceiving themselves.
In today's passage, we have clearly seen that it is expedient for us as children of God to have godly character to help us live successfully here before our Master Jesus comes for our harvest.
From verse 4, we are encouraged to keep our marriage pure that our bed is unpolluted. S*xual purity must be found in christian homes so that everything concerning us will be perfect before God.
S*x is a kind of covenant existing between the two that engage in it. A situation whereby one of the couples goes out of covenant to make another, there will be problems. The edge of the home is broken permitting evil to come in. And also, making sub covenant in the original one.
This is exactly why God was angry with Israel for breaking the covenant He had with them. The Bible says he that breaks the edge will serpent bite.
So the bed of marriage is carried everywhere by the two involved and should not be defiled.
Couples must prevent anything that could allow defilement. A husband that feels having s*x shouldn't be denied by his wife. Then, consistent prayer life is required to make the marriage perfect before God.
The defiler or the defiled will be judged by God. Let's be careful how we handle our marriage.
Verses 5-6 encourage us to avoid the temptation of getting material things that could distract us from serving God rightly. We must be satisfied with the little we have, with the hope in God's provision at all times. He has promised to be with us always.
Some christians are guilty of this. When they get to church or anywhere, they look at others the way they dress and display their blessings. These get them off the track driving them towards looking for ungodly way out of their situations. This is wrong according to the text we read.
Christians should look unto Jesus alone for their needs. So that we can bodly say the Lord is our Helper we won't fear whatever comes our way.
We mustn't be influenced by what we see around rather, letting the mind of Christ influences us at all times.
Another godly character we need to possess is caring for our spiritual fathers; those who feed us with the word of God.
Though, things look upside down now in the world with blaming our godly leaders for not contributing well as expected. Yet, this is biblical standard for us to follow.
There are still some pastors who follow the leadings of the Holy Spirit to do things. Let's do our own part because Jesus never changes. He remains the same yesterday, today and forever.
We must also emulate keeping our stand for God as His children.
The world mustn't dictate for us what to do but the Bible.
I pray that God will help us all in Jesus name.
If you haven't surrended to Jesus, living godly will be very difficult for you. And making heaven will be very impossible for you too. Seek Him now that He is available.
Prayer Points
1. Father thank you for another opportunity in your presence in Jesus name.
2. Father please help me to possess you in my life everyday in Jesus name.
3. Every temptation thrown on my way, I overcome you now in Jesus name.
4. I receive the mind of Christ to run my heavenly race successfully in Jesus name.
Shalom
