THURSDAY 10TH MARCH


LOVE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST                                                       

TEXT: 1 Corinthians 12: 12-14

Key verse: John 13: 34 "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

The body of Christ tells of people baptized by the Holy Spirit; by regenerative experience: born-again; living in newness of life achieved by the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. Except a man is born of water (the word) and the Spirit (the principal agent of change, he cannot enter the kingdom of God). As the body is one, it means all believers are one. They are brought together by one Spirit. It is a spiritual experience: for by one Spirit, we have been joined into one body. The body is not one member but many. The body has different components that made it up. Some members are internal and invisible while some are external and visible; 1 Corinthians 12: "26.

We are commanded to Love. 1 John 4: 7-8"Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God, and every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." Make sure you exercise love among brethren, love your brothers, love your sisters, and love all. If a person does not love, he is not born of God or could have lost his new birth experience. He that does not know God cannot show love; darkness is in him. God showed His love in providing the natural things you see around us. More than that, He expressed the extent of His love by releasing His very Son for our redemption. Love is what rules heaven. It is the life of heaven. There is no hatred there. It is love all the way. That is why nothing short of love will enter heaven.

We are commanded to love our enemies. Matthew 5: 44, 48  "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute 48, Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." The Lord in His love protects even evil people. When you only love those who love you, it is satanic. Why not give out love first before receiving it? Don't you see love among the heathen? Despite that, they don't have the power to love their enemies. Love them that despise and speak evil of you as your heavenly Father does. Love has two hands; the right hand and the left hand, the other side is to show love for your enemies also. Your Father in heaven allows the rain to fall on the evil and the good without discrimination. Be like your heavenly Father. Love your wife despite the adultery against you.  That is the left hand of love. Forgive;   that you might be perfect as your heavenly Father is.

Thought for today: It is Love that keeps the body, loves the brethren.

Song for the day: I will love (4x) I will love all Jesus people…

Bible reading for the day: Deuteronomy 11-13; Mark 13:1-13

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
