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.

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
