'DON’T JOIN THEM'

"Depart you, depart you, go out from there, touch no unclean thing; go you out from the midst of her; be you clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord" - Isaiah 52:11

Before a child of God is saved, he's usually among the citizen of the world. His lifestyle, deed and words conform to the dictate of the world. But it's quite unfortunate that many so-called believer or children of God are still among the citizen of the land.

A man becomes a citizen of this world of sin and rebellion when he refuses to allow God or Jesus reign totally over his life (Luke 19:14).

Jesus cannot reign over your life when your desire or affection still lies in the world. Don't deceive yourself, Jesus won't reign over you when your dressing, manner of life still resembles the people of the world.

Your blunt refusal to accept Jesus into your life totally is a clear indication that you don't want Him to reign over you. If you do not give Him the throne of your life, He cannot be the Lord of your life.

Do you know that who you consciously or unconsciously serve determines who reign over your life (Luke 16:13)? Jesus came to seek and save the lost but the devil came to steal, kill and destroy eternally.

Brethren, examine your life at the moment, who is reigning over your life? If Jesus must reign, you must depart from the world of sin, not in death but in separation. Don't touch their unclean things (music, style, dressing, conduct etc).

When you disallow Christ to reign over your life, you'll be among His enemies when He returns (Luke 19:27). If He must reign, yield yourself to Him completely in obedience, accept His offer of salvation (John 3:16) and ensure you set yourself apart for Him.

Don't join the world system, culture and practices for it is an abomination and enmity against God (James 4:4).
