TRUE LOVE IS STRANGE TO THE WORLD

For taking your time study remain blessed.  
TOPIC: TRUE LOVE IS STRANGE TO THE WORLD  July Friday 31st  
TEXT: 1 Peter 1:22-23
KEY VERSE: 1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
God’s kind of love is strange to this world and they are opposed to it. The world is harsh to it but you must carefully preserve and maintain it. You must fight to keep it. You must train your heart to it. In church, in the family and among ourselves, we are to have the God-kind of love. Many things come to block this kind of love because the enemy does not want it. You must reconcile with your brother if you want to promote this kind of love. You must clear whatever has blocked your relationship with anyone. Go to him or her and remove the blockage; otherwise, it will reduce your love to pretentious love. You must summon courage to discuss everything over. When a cloud covers the sun, the sun's brightness is deemed. So it is with the heart of man. You must clear every blockage because love should be without pretence. Refuse misinterpretation of issues. Don't make assumptions of things that are not clear or true. When they told the King of Israel that the Syrians flew, their king did not believe thinking it was a war strategy to capture them but he was wrong. Refuse reading between the lines. Refuse misinterpreting dreams.
Be careful with hearsay. When you hear, hold yourself and don't conclude in a hurry. Be quick to hear but slow to speak. Many things you read from internet are not true. Avoid gossipers. A talebearer separates close friends. Proverbs 26:20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. As long as the information is not verified, it has become a potential blockage to love. Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:21, Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. If Dathan and Abiram had made diligent enquiry, they would not have sunk into hell with Korah. If the mighty men and nobles of Israel had done the same thing, they would not have perished. Even the congregation could not learn from this sad experience. Based on hearsay, all the congregation of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron saying, “Ye have killed the people of the LORD.” They sided rebels against the anointed of God. They incurred the wrath of God and the plague killed 14,700. Be careful, let your love be in righteousness.
Thought for the day: Love in truth.
Song for the day: Jesus keep me near the cross, near the precious fountain…..
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 62-64; Romans 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
