A PECULIAR PEOPLE - 1 


TEXT: TITUS 2:11-14


MEMORY VERSE: "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world" (TITUS 2:11-12).


Kyle Butt, M. Div, told a story about hunters catching a stoat or ermine (a little furry creature), to get its fur. Hunters would find the ermine's den when it is not inside, and smear the outside with disgusting mud. They would then turn their dogs loose to find the ermine.


After a long chase, the ermine would run for safety to its home, only to discover its entrance was covered in filth. Because the ermine values its beautiful white coat so much, it won't go through the doorway and get dirty; instead, it would give itself up to the hunters so that its fur would not be contaminated. That is why the ermine became a symbol of purity. The little creature would rather die than get dirty.


All who profess to be saved by grace must be peculiarly holy and serve God zealously. Beloved, are you peculiar? Grace (God's Riches At Christ's Expense), can never be an excuse for continued sinning. Holy living and constant victory over all sins are what make us peculiar.


QUOTE: Rather die than get dirty.


CHALLENGE: Grace enables us to live free from sin.


PRAYER: Father, make me peculiarly holy, in Jesus' name.

  LIVING WATER CAC DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE Friday, August 5, 2022 WRONG EXAMPLES TO AVOID (VI) Read: 1 Corinthians 10:14-22 [14]Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. [15]I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. [16]The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? [17]For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. [18]Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? [19]What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? [20]But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. [21]Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. [22]D

  CHRIST APOSTOLIC CHURCH Nigeria And Overseas 2024 SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON UNIT 2: GOD GIVES GIFTS PURPOSEFULLY  THEME: SPIRITUAL POWER AND GIFTS FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST LESSON Seventeen  May 12th, 2024 TOPIC: GIFT OF DIVERSE TONGUES MEMORY SCRIPTURE  And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues (Mark 16:17).  The gift of diverse tongues is another way by which the Holy Spirit shows His power, presence and purpose among us. BRIEF COMMENT  It is a tremendous blessing that Christ Jesus didn't abandon His disciples but continuously guided, taught, corrected and prepared them for their future mission. He empowered them with authority and prayer, promising them the ability to speak in new tongues, signifying a fresh way of communicating, not an entirely new language. At His ascension, He assured them that the Holy Spirit would empower them, and this promise came to fruition at Pentecost. These assurances and commands

  HIGHER EVERYDAY FRIDAY MAY 10, 2024 COUNT THE COST, THEN FOLLOW TEXT: MATTHEW 8:18-22 MEMORY VERSE: "And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head" (MATTHEW 8:19-20). Matthew was a revenue collector for the Roman government. Even though he was a Jew, he worked for the hated Roman authorities, collecting taxes on caravan traffic on the roads, taxes on ships coming into the harbor, and duties on imported goods. He had a reasonable and regular income from his legitimate employment, and like other tax collectors, could have earned additional income by exacting more money than the regular tax. One day, Jesus met him and called him to follow His band of disciples. Immediately, Matthew left everything and followed Christ. He gave up his employment and benefits, and became a disciple. That is the
