PROMOTING LOVE AND HOLINESS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED. 

DATE: SATURDAY 14th AUGUST

TOPIC: PROMOTING LOVE AND HOLINESS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST

TEXT: 1 Corinthians12:12-14

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

The body of Christ here talks 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), which is the Born Again experience, forgiveness of sins, and 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, segregation, hatred, sectionalism, and denominationalism are so alarming that even the heathen don'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, and 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 its members irrespective of the denomination, size or number and popularity, for grace is not equally poured on all. 


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, consists of 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 physical body has a challenge, malfunctions, refuses to work, or is in pain, the whole body could be said to be sick and the body cannot stand on its feet. Every Christian, church leader, and various denominations should know that united we stand and divided we fall; and heaven which is the goal of every Christian will be far from reach. Go on your knees today and pray for the unity of the church.

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

Song for the day: By and by when the morning comes, when the saints of God are gathered home, will tell….

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 99-102; 

Romans 13  #Horemow

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...

I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit.
