PROMOTING LOVE AND HOLINESS IN THE CHURCH

APRIL Sunday 11th

TEXT: I CORINTHIANS12:12-14

Key Verse: “Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:3

The body of Christ here talked about different people who believe in one person (CHRIST) one faith (Christian Religion) different functionality gearing toward one goal (Heaven) defending one course (the Gospel) dead into one purpose (Baptism). Regenerated into an experience (Salvation), that is the born-again experience of forgiveness of sins, the newness of life that is achieved through the (Holy Spirit) by our Lord Jesus Christ. If this is clearly understood, then love and Holiness needs to be promoted among the members of the body of Christ, so as to foster unity in Christendom.

Today the division, the segregation, the hatred, the sectionalism, the denominationalism is so alarming that even the heathen doesn’t have such among them. Remember; Jesus the unifying factor that binds His believers together says He is coming back for that same body that is one in mind, one in faith, one in fellowship, one in Love, one in holiness and righteousness. No wonder He asked His disciples, shall I find faith when I shall come back?

Therefore the church must arise in defence of this body by promoting love and holiness among his members irrespective of the denomination, size or number and popularity, for grace, is not equal upon all. So efforts must be made by great church leaders, the clergy and the laity alike to see that this division existing in the body of Christ whether in hatred against one another or in doctrine or in competition comes to an end immediately. For we have one common archenemy, the devil.

The calling, the grace or anointing upon members of the body of Christ is not the same, so for unity to be achieved every functional member must submit, co-operate and respect one another in love, just the same way the physical body which consists of many members work together before a man can be seen as one body. If one member of the the physical body has refuses to work or is in pain; that body could be said to be sick and the body cannot stand on its feet. Every Christian, church leader should know that united we stand and divided we fall.

Thought for the day: United we stand and divided we fall.

Song for the day: It is so sweet to trust in Jesus

Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 7-9; Luke 13:1-21

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
