PROMOTING LOVE AND HOLINESS IN THE CHURCH

APRIL Sunday 11th

TEXT: I CORINTHIANS12:12-14

Key Verse: “Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:3

The body of Christ here talked about different people who believe in one person (CHRIST) one faith (Christian Religion) different functionality gearing toward one goal (Heaven) defending one course (the Gospel) dead into one purpose (Baptism). Regenerated into an experience (Salvation), that is the born-again experience of forgiveness of sins, the newness of life that is achieved through the (Holy Spirit) by our Lord Jesus Christ. If this is clearly understood, then love and Holiness needs to be promoted among the members of the body of Christ, so as to foster unity in Christendom.

Today the division, the segregation, the hatred, the sectionalism, the denominationalism is so alarming that even the heathen doesn’t have such among them. Remember; Jesus the unifying factor that binds His believers together says He is coming back for that same body that is one in mind, one in faith, one in fellowship, one in Love, one in holiness and righteousness. No wonder He asked His disciples, shall I find faith when I shall come back?

Therefore the church must arise in defence of this body by promoting love and holiness among his members irrespective of the denomination, size or number and popularity, for grace, is not equal upon all. So efforts must be made by great church leaders, the clergy and the laity alike to see that this division existing in the body of Christ whether in hatred against one another or in doctrine or in competition comes to an end immediately. For we have one common archenemy, the devil.

The calling, the grace or anointing upon members of the body of Christ is not the same, so for unity to be achieved every functional member must submit, co-operate and respect one another in love, just the same way the physical body which consists of many members work together before a man can be seen as one body. If one member of the the physical body has refuses to work or is in pain; that body could be said to be sick and the body cannot stand on its feet. Every Christian, church leader should know that united we stand and divided we fall.

Thought for the day: United we stand and divided we fall.

Song for the day: It is so sweet to trust in Jesus

Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 7-9; Luke 13:1-21

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...
