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.

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
