LOVE IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT THURSDAY APRIL 20 TEXT: MARK 12: 28-33 Key Verses: “And now abideth faith, hope, charity, three, but the greatest of these is charity” 1 Corinthians 13:13 The greatest of all the commandments of God is love; love for God and love for man. Love is the summary of all the commandments. Every man is to love God supremely and to love his neighbor as himself. True love for God and fellow man keeps the believer free from sin and evil. To observe all the laws and commandments without love is equal to disobedience and sin. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3. The first person we should love is God. Man should love because God loved man first. Because God loved man supremely, having given us his only begotten Son, we are also to give Him ourselves, to love Him with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with all our mind and with all our strength. This is the first commandment of God and the greatest of all. The first proof that we love God is keeping His commandments. This is the first commandment, and the second is like, namely this, thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. There is no commandment greater than these. The second proof that we love God is the love we have for our fellow men. The people of the world will know that we are Christ’s disciples when we have love, one to another. We are to have sincere love for one another and for our fellow men, including our enemies. Our love for God and men must not be in word only but in practice. If we say we love God, but do not keep His commandments, we are liars and are deceiving ourselves. Also our love for one another, and for all men must been seen by practical work of mercy and not by mouth only. God’s love for man is practical, He gave us His only begotten Son because of love, Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another practically. For the sake of love Jesus practically laid down his life for us, and we ought to do likewise to practically serve and help the brethren. This is the yardstick for Christ’s judgment on the last day. Thought for the day: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. Song for the day: Give me love for my brethren, Love from above …. Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 30-31; Luke 17:20-37 #horemow.

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be

For taking your time to study remain blessed. April Monday 27th TOPIC: TESTIMONY OF RESTITUTION OF FALSIFIED RECORDS by Sis Bosede Ogwurike TEXT: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KEY VERSE: Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. After accepting the Lord Jesus as my Lord and personal Saviour as a young girl I so much enjoyed the Lord, but at a particular time in my life I entangled myself with so many sins: fornication, abortions, misconduct in two of my undergraduate examination papers, falsification of age, falsification of results in my undergraduate research project and other sins that later required restitution. This created a big vacuum in my life. I no longer enjoyed the presence of God as before and sometimes when I prayed for restoration and revival, I would hear a voice clearly in my spirit saying, “Go and report yourself.” This I did not
