OVERCOMING DENOMINATIONAL BARRIERS.  MONDAY OCTOBER 30
TEXT: MATTHEW 16: 18-19                                                                                                          
Key verse: And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” Matthew 16:18.
Jesus said, I am the one building my church and the gate of hell shall not prevail against it. But I use men to build the church, I raise men to build it, I give the keys of the kingdom to men to build my church. I give these men the power to bind and the power to loose. The church is not denominational, the workers, ministers, apparently, clearly are not denominational ministers that Jesus is referring to here. Jesus' Church, the body over his church, is not denominational, not segregated, with fractions and fragments. In the New Testament time, the church Paul had authority over, Peter and Apollo also had authority over it. Paul said, I have laid the foundation someone else is building upon it, which means the work is not giving to one man only. God give the authority according to various decrees over the same church. Church is like Barracks having officers of various ranks. Everybody has influence according to the department giving to him, according to rank giving to him, over the same Barracks. That is the church. “Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace; there is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling. One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One God and Father of all who is above all, and through all, and in you all” Ephesians 4:3-6. The church is the body of Christ being controlled by the Spirit of Christ; having one hope of eternal life in heaven; all the members have one body of teachings called one faith; one Lord Jesus Christ, Saviour, Master over all; having one baptism, one transformation and qualities of salvation. If any man is in Christ he is a new creature. That is the baptism and transformation we are talking about, which the Holy Spirit does on those who have believed. So which ever church the name is, if anybody there is in Christ he is a new creature having the same spirit, the same body of teaching, the same Jesus Christ. The church actually is one. Jesus is not coming for any denomination. He is coming back for one church called the body of Christ. Let that open your understanding about the oneness of the church. Be a true member of the body of Christ.
Thought for the day: One Body; One Hope; One Faith; One Baptism; One Lord; One Spirit; One God
Song for the day: The Church is marching on...
Bible Reading for the day: Jeremiah 27-28; 2 Timothy 4

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

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...

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...
