ONE LORD, ONE CHURCH, ONE GOSPEL. SATURDAY NOVEMBER 4
TEXT: EPHESIANS 4:4-7
Key verse: “For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ” 1 Corinthians 12:12.
One God existing in Trinity. The father, the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, whose dwelling place is heaven, created all things for Himself, including men in the world. Because of the sin and rebellion of men, God the Son, Jesus Christ came to earth to redeem men from sin. He came with the gospel of salvation, suffered and died to restore men back to God. Those who believe in Him become member of His body, the church. God is opening our eyes to the oneness of Christianity. This is important; the body of Christ refers to the church of Christ. As the body of Christ refers to the church of Christ, whatever name, location, denomination, tribe, race of nation, etc. No local or denominational church should separate herself from the body of Christ. To do so is to deny herself of the sustenance supplied by Christ to the whole body. All branches of the tree are part of the tree and takes nutrients from it, when a branch is separated or cut off from the main tree, it withers away. As long as a local assembly admits the authority of Christ, the Lord will work in it as he does in other churches to bring salvation and eternal life to the member to the glory of the father. The one spirit here is the Holy Spirit, the spirit of Christ that is actively at work in the churches of Christ universal. 1Corinthians 12:13, For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. The Holy Spirit is actively at work to bring life to the body of church. The Spirit is working out Spiritual revival in the body of Christ. He is making believers to see the world, its pleasures, wealth, powers and promises as vanity compared with the Excellency of Christ and His eternal rewards. He is promoting Jesus and making us to exalt Him above Satan and the world. He is causing every knee in the church to bow to Jesus and confess His Lordship. He is resting to the church the pure word of truth, righteousness, holiness, and power. He is working in the world to bring sinners to the Lordship of Jesus for their salvation from sin and integration into the body of Christ. He is working actively in the church to purify believers and make them conform to the image of Christ in righteousness and holiness and in full obedience to the father's will. He is preparing the body of Christ for presentation to God and the father for eternal purposes open for Him. In Christ Jesus we are one.
Thought for the day: For the body is not one member< but many members.
Song for the day: I don’t care what Church you belong to....
Bible Reading for the day: Jeremiah 38-39; Hebrews 1

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
