CAREFULNESS IN CHRIST’s CHURCH
FRIDAY JUNE 16
TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 3: 14 – 16
Key verse: “But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” 1 Timothy 3:15
There is need for carefulness in the Church of Christ. Although we see not our Lord with the naked eyes, but He is with us, for He says, For I am with you always even unto the end of the world. For He had said, Where 2 or 3 are gathered in My name, there I am in the midst of them. Don’t think because you do not see Jesus physically here, in Holiness Revival Movement, you can do what you want. These things saith He that walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks. He goes up and down, checking everything. Make sure you keep order in His Church. Respect apostolic authority. God has given this work to someone. Submit yourself to him. The Bible says, Consider them that have the rule over you, that labour among you, and respect them, honour them very highly in love for their works sake. Willingly love your leader. Willingly submit to his correction, submit to his chastisement, submit to his decisions, submit to what he has said. Respect him. If there be any thing that seems different, reason together in peace. Give your reason, some people reason too.
Those that resist authority in the Church, authority that the Lord has set over His people who are subject to Him, who are doing it in love and in the fear of God. You are resisting? He that resists, resists not man but God who has given to us the Holy Spirit. Be subject to authority in honour to the Lord of the Church. In all these things, the humility you are showing is not unto man, but unto God. The humility you are showing is not to man. The obedience, the errand you run, the service you render, is not to any man, although man instructed it, you are doing it for God. God wants peace. Do it in peace. Control yourself. Don’t be an angry man. Don’t be a troublesome man. God wants order and love. For Orderliness, Decency, Righteousness, Holiness, Progress, Victory and Heaven to be enjoyed by us, we must be subject to authority.
Thought for the day: Respect Apostolic Authority
Song for the day: Make me holy, Make me holy, Make me holy O LORD
Bible reading for the day: Nehemiah 1-3; Acts 2:1-13

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
