LOVE AND SUBMISSION AMONG BRETHREN

For taking your time to study remain blessed.
TOPIC: LOVE AND SUBMISSION AMONG BRETHREN    July Monday 13th
TEXT: Psalm 133:1-3
KEY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

God is a God of love and order. God desires order among His people. For this to be so, there must be submission. We know who He is already. He is God of love. To achieve this for His church, we must appreciate, understand and give room to one another, living in peace and unity. God wants to see beauty in His church. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Love is required for biblical unity. When you talk about peace, that can be achieved even where there is no life, like the graveyard peace. God wants the unity of the living; people alive and united. People who have differences in them in height, colour, position and status, yet living in love and unity make God to be happy. When Jesus was to leave the earth, He gave His disciples the commandment to love. John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.  By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another. 

You will see something wonderful about the love of God in the heart of a believer among Jesus and His disciples. They were of different backgrounds and nature, yet the love Jesus had for them was satisfactory so much that when Jesus said he was going to leave them they began to ask who was the greatest to take over. The love He showed to each one of them made even Judas Iscariot think he could take over. Love your brethren so sincerely that there would be no tribal or class differences. We in leadership position should love everyone under us so well that nobody will accuse us of partiality. James and John were brought by their mother to Jesus because she was related to Jesus but Jesus said, it is My Father that gives position not by preferential treatment based on family relationship. As a leader, please love all very well. Do you know how you feel so peaceful in my presence? Show love to make others feel so in your presence too. Let them not feel it is a special relationship with you that determines your love for them. Bible says God is love. Then, if you want God to walk through you, employ love. Don't love in discrimination. 

Thought for the day: Love is the fulfilling of the law.
Song for the day: I will love, I will love, I will love……I will love Jesus people….
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 10-12; Acts 17:16-34

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...
