ONE LORD, ONE CHURCH, ONE GOSPEL. SATURDAY NOVEMBER 4
TEXT: EPHESIANS 4:4-7
Key verse: “For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ” 1 Corinthians 12:12.
One God existing in Trinity. The father, the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, whose dwelling place is heaven, created all things for Himself, including men in the world. Because of the sin and rebellion of men, God the Son, Jesus Christ came to earth to redeem men from sin. He came with the gospel of salvation, suffered and died to restore men back to God. Those who believe in Him become member of His body, the church. God is opening our eyes to the oneness of Christianity. This is important; the body of Christ refers to the church of Christ. As the body of Christ refers to the church of Christ, whatever name, location, denomination, tribe, race of nation, etc. No local or denominational church should separate herself from the body of Christ. To do so is to deny herself of the sustenance supplied by Christ to the whole body. All branches of the tree are part of the tree and takes nutrients from it, when a branch is separated or cut off from the main tree, it withers away. As long as a local assembly admits the authority of Christ, the Lord will work in it as he does in other churches to bring salvation and eternal life to the member to the glory of the father. The one spirit here is the Holy Spirit, the spirit of Christ that is actively at work in the churches of Christ universal. 1Corinthians 12:13, For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. The Holy Spirit is actively at work to bring life to the body of church. The Spirit is working out Spiritual revival in the body of Christ. He is making believers to see the world, its pleasures, wealth, powers and promises as vanity compared with the Excellency of Christ and His eternal rewards. He is promoting Jesus and making us to exalt Him above Satan and the world. He is causing every knee in the church to bow to Jesus and confess His Lordship. He is resting to the church the pure word of truth, righteousness, holiness, and power. He is working in the world to bring sinners to the Lordship of Jesus for their salvation from sin and integration into the body of Christ. He is working actively in the church to purify believers and make them conform to the image of Christ in righteousness and holiness and in full obedience to the father's will. He is preparing the body of Christ for presentation to God and the father for eternal purposes open for Him. In Christ Jesus we are one.
Thought for the day: For the body is not one member< but many members.
Song for the day: I don’t care what Church you belong to....
Bible Reading for the day: Jeremiah 38-39; Hebrews 1

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...
