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

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...
