OVERCOMING DENOMINATIONAL BARRIERS.  MONDAY OCTOBER 30
TEXT: MATTHEW 16: 18-19                                                                                                          
Key verse: And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” Matthew 16:18.
Jesus said, I am the one building my church and the gate of hell shall not prevail against it. But I use men to build the church, I raise men to build it, I give the keys of the kingdom to men to build my church. I give these men the power to bind and the power to loose. The church is not denominational, the workers, ministers, apparently, clearly are not denominational ministers that Jesus is referring to here. Jesus' Church, the body over his church, is not denominational, not segregated, with fractions and fragments. In the New Testament time, the church Paul had authority over, Peter and Apollo also had authority over it. Paul said, I have laid the foundation someone else is building upon it, which means the work is not giving to one man only. God give the authority according to various decrees over the same church. Church is like Barracks having officers of various ranks. Everybody has influence according to the department giving to him, according to rank giving to him, over the same Barracks. That is the church. “Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace; there is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling. One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One God and Father of all who is above all, and through all, and in you all” Ephesians 4:3-6. The church is the body of Christ being controlled by the Spirit of Christ; having one hope of eternal life in heaven; all the members have one body of teachings called one faith; one Lord Jesus Christ, Saviour, Master over all; having one baptism, one transformation and qualities of salvation. If any man is in Christ he is a new creature. That is the baptism and transformation we are talking about, which the Holy Spirit does on those who have believed. So which ever church the name is, if anybody there is in Christ he is a new creature having the same spirit, the same body of teaching, the same Jesus Christ. The church actually is one. Jesus is not coming for any denomination. He is coming back for one church called the body of Christ. Let that open your understanding about the oneness of the church. Be a true member of the body of Christ.
Thought for the day: One Body; One Hope; One Faith; One Baptism; One Lord; One Spirit; One God
Song for the day: The Church is marching on...
Bible Reading for the day: Jeremiah 27-28; 2 Timothy 4

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

VIRTUOUS WOMEN FOR END TIME REVIVAL SATURDAY APRIL 29 TEXT: John 4: 39-42 Key Verse: “And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God” Ruth 1: 16 When the Lord shall come He shall gather the wheat but the tares shall be cut down and cast into the lake of fire, God is looking for some wheat to use. In the house of God we have faithful and unfaithful servants, we have zealous servants and slothful servants, we have hardworking servants and lazy servants.
