Christian Unity Is Required Up To This End Time
Thursday 22nd
Text: Ephesians 4: 11-13
Key Verse: Matthew 28: 19. “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptising them in the Name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Ghost”
Christianity is a Heavenly calling and a way of life, let us work together and defend this goal in unity, so that Satan will not pollute us through trivial matters. Let’s go through some scriptures to get an understanding to work in unity
Ministerial titles: Apostles and prophets are calling and gifts from God. We must use them according to scriptural examples. We understand that not all are called apostles or prophets and the position is not for babes in Christendom. Apostle Paul did everything to defend this title. His emergence was in a very special circumstance and needed to convince others on how he got to it. In Galatians 1:1, he said, “Paul, an Apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised me from the death).” How did you get your title? By man, for your pride?
Evangelist is a high position for those who are burning with passion for soul winning and not by just anyone. It was only Philip who used it. Some churches ascribe it to a lower-level minister or any minister who has not gone to theological college. This is the tradition of men, not the scripture. Reverend according to the scripture is a sign of respect (Ephesians 5:33), and those bearing it should not be condemned neither do they see themselves more esteemed than other ministers
Bishop is synonymous with elder, pastor, or teacher. Today, some take this title as if it is the highest position in Christianity because of government recognition. They set rules and award themselves Bishop not according to the scripture. Paul said not by men, neither by man. Why is your own by man or by association of God? Avoid titles that promote pride. Pastor is a generally acceptable title referring to a shepherd and is recommended for ministers. Jeremiah 3:15
Thought For The Day: Strive to attain holiness and less attention to titles
Song For The Day: I want to be loke Daniel (3x), to follow Jesus Christ
Bible Reading For The Day: Exodus 21-23
