For taking your time to study remain blessed. LOVE IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT THURSDAY APRIL 20 TEXT: MARK 12: 28-33 Key Verses: “And now abideth faith, hope, charity, three, but the greatest of these is charity” 1 Corinthians 13:13 The greatest of all the commandments of God is love; love for God and love for man. Love is the summary of all the commandments. Every man is to love God supremely and to love his neighbor as himself. True love for God and fellow man keeps the believer free from sin and evil. To observe all the laws and commandments without love is equal to disobedience and sin. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3. The first person we should love is God. Man should love because God loved man first. Because God loved man supremely, having given us his only begotten Son, we are also to give Him ourselves, to love Him with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with all our mind and with all our strength. This is the first commandment of God and the greatest of all. The first proof that we love God is keeping His commandments. This is the first commandment, and the second is like, namely this, thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. There is no commandment greater than these. The second proof that we love God is the love we have for our fellow men. The people of the world will know that we are Christ’s disciples when we have love, one to another. We are to have sincere love for one another and for our fellow men, including our enemies. Our love for God and men must not be in word only but in practice. If we say we love God, but do not keep His commandments, we are liars and are deceiving ourselves. Also our love for one another, and for all men must been seen by practical work of mercy and not by mouth only. God’s love for man is practical, He gave us His only begotten Son because of love, Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another practically. For the sake of love Jesus practically laid down his life for us, and we ought to do likewise to practically serve and help the brethren. This is the yardstick for Christ’s judgment on the last day. Thought for the day: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. Song for the day: Give me love for my brethren, Love from above …. Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 30-31; Luke 17:20-37 #horemow.

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
