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.

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
