*DATE: WEDNESDAY 20TH MARCH, 2019*
*TOPIC: THE UNDERWEAR THESIS: NEVER
APOLOGIZE FOR BEING SUCCESSFUL!*
*BASIC SCRIPTURE: ACTS 21:8-20*
In one university in America, something very interesting happened. A student was preparing to present her thesis. As part of the preparation, she had to do what is called a trial run of her thesis or mock presentation before the actual presentation which she had to do before her professor.
During the trial run, her professor was concerned about the choice of her outfit of clothing for the presentation. The concerned professor reportedly told her that her cut off jeans shorts were too short, and that by that, she would be making a statement. The Prof had repeatedly said to her, Is that really what you want to wear? Following the Profs comment, one male student was also reported to have said that the student had a moral obligation to her audience to dress conservatively during her thesis presentation. Their comments got her infuriated, so she left the room of the trial angrily.
*She later returned to complete her draft thesis speech, but this time, she wore only a bra and underwear to protest what she called oppressive beliefs and discrimination.* During the formal thesis presentation a few days later, she arrived at the venue initially dressed the way she did during the trial run. She wore the same botton-down shirt and jeans shorts, but she undressed again and encouraged those in attendance at the presentation to do the same.
According to newspaper reports, 28 of the 44 persons in the room stripped in her support. The professor later apologised for the choice of words she used in correcting her own student over her choice of dress. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? The PROFESSOR APOLOGISED FOR BEING GOOD! The Holy Ghost is saying: There are too many PRETENDERS in the world! Never apologise this year for your HOLINESS or PURITY! Never apologise for being correct or for being years ahead of your colleagues or generation! Oh! Never apologise for ending TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS! Yes! Never apologise for saying NO to those who dont deserve your time! And never say SORRY for being successful or OUTSTANDING even in the midst of haters! See Acts 21:13 — Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? For I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. Wow! NO APOLOGIES! Paul said he was ready to die for what he believed in! live like that this year!
*PRAYER POINTS:
* Take Song 1: Higher Ground…
1. In your own words, pray about todays word as led now.
2. LORD GOD, make me OUTSTANDING without APOLOGIES this year!
3. I refuse to apologise for being HOLY AND TRUE! I shall live for Christ this year and this week in Jesus name.
4. Lord God, SCATTER every gang up against my destiny this week, month, and year in Jesus name.
5. My HATERS will APOLOGISE BY FORCE! They will announce me LIKE HAMAN before they RUN MAD in Jesus name.

*Songs 1: Higher Ground*
1. Im pressing on the upward way,
New heights Im gaining everyday;
Still praying as I onward bound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
*Chorus*
Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith on Canaans tableland;
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
2. My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
3. I want to live above the world,
Though Satans darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.
4. I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still Ill pray till rest Ive found,
Lord, lead me on to higher ground.
