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

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
