“Partying In Purity”
Friday, February 14, 2025Key Verse
“And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them (Job 1:4).
Text —Job 1:1-5
Message
Job was concerned about his personal life and the souls of his children. He offered burnt-offering for each of them to atone for their sins. This, Jesus has done for us to gain acceptance with God. The sons of Job usually kept a rotatory feast with invitation extended to their sisters. Children of God can have occasions to celebrate. Instances as graduations, anniversaries, spectacular feats, great achievements, call for feasting. Purity must be our watchword. Forbidden items such as alcoholic drinks and things that inflame the flesh and sinful passion must not feature in our party, even on Valentine Day.
Our parties must be devoid of ostentation or manifestation of the works of the flesh – fornication, uncleanness, immodest dressing, and rowdiness. Miscreants who will come to disorganize the party must not be welcomed in our celebrations. Our conducts must be regulated by the word of God. Moderation should be our guide. The Lord may come at that moment so that we may be counted worthy. 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”
