TOPIC: THE BODY OF CHRIST IS ONE
TEXT: Ephesians 4:3-6
KEY VERSE: John 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 

In Christianity, there is oneness of the church of Christ of all denominations, as you see oneness of the human race of all tribes from the same source. The church of Christ is called by various denominational names to differentiate one from another, but as the differences in human race mean nothing because we are all the offspring of Adam, likewise the different names of our churches mean nothing for we all are purchased and saved by Jesus Christ. The church originated from Jesus as the human race originated from Adam. The first man was called Adam, and the second Man, Jesus Christ. In the first man there is tribal unity if God gives you that understanding, and in the second Man Jesus Christ, there is spiritual unity. The body of Christ is one. I am emphasizing this because many churches are straying from the way of God because of denominationalism. They are using church names to segregate themselves. They are saying, “I will not listen to preaching from this person, I will not allow somebody from that church to come and preach in my church. Jesus don’t send anybody outside our church.” You are only destroying yourself. You don’t have understanding that the church of Christ is one. In today’s devotional bible reading, Paul explains that the church, despite the various denominations, has sameness and the sameness are seven: one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God.

The church has seven sameness, seven oneness and the letter seven is the perfect number. We are perfectly one. Why? It is one body, it has one Spirit, the Holy Spirit, yes we have one hope. Our hope is Heaven. We have one Lord, Jesus Christ. We have one faith, the Holy Bible. We have one baptism. This is not water baptism because the Bible says “as many as have been baptized into the body of Christ have put on Christ,” which is talking about the born again experience through the transformation received when one is immersed into Christ by the Holy Spirit.

Thought for the day: The one who made us one is able to keep us together
Song for the day: We are gathering together unto Thee (2x) Unto the Lord shall the gathering..
Bible reading for the day: Nehemiah 1-3; Acts 2:1-13

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
