PROMOTING LOVE AND HOLINESS IN CHRISTIANITY

TEXT:  Ephesians 4: 3 – 7;                                                                 

Key verse: 1 Peter 1: 22 “Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:”

If we don't promote love, our holiness is vain. If we lack love, our faith is vain. Satan will like to put hatred in your heart against each other. The women caused hatred between David and Saul by their song. That brought lasting enmity between David and Saul. The mismanagement of this information led King Saul to hell. When the disciples reported to Jesus the man they saw casting out demons in His name to provoke jealousy in Him, rather He rebuked them. Joshua suggested Moses should stop the two people among the seventy prophesying in the camp, Moses instead was optimistic of the development and wished all God's children were prophets. To promote love, we must adhere to the following:

1, We must see others as ourselves; We must see ourselves and churches in Christ as one; not as a denominational church but as those in Christ having one body (Christ), one Spirit (Holy Spirit), one hope (heaven), one Lord (Jesus Christ), one faith (the word), one baptism (baptism of regeneration) and one God and father of all. In southern Nigeria, we have petroleum deposit that is used by all Nigerians and other nations. Similarly, God sees only one church. God has made us one. We have this seven oneness; we will promote one body.

2. We must be ready for the LORD to cleanse us; Ezekiel 36: 33 -36; Defilement was going on among the Israelites; the hatred among them bred bloodshed upon the land; many hated without a cause. God wants to sanctify them and remove uncleanness from them. He promised He will cleanse and renew them to serve His purpose. Anyone wanting to bring the darkness of hatred among believers, God will judge him for bringing defilement among the children of God. They are polluting the name of God for lack of love and bringing shame to the name of the Lord. God wants to give you a new and soft heart that can be subordinate to Him. 

3 We must judge ourselves so we could be judged by no man; Don't allow separation in the leadership. Pair up yourselves in prayer to get any ugly situation arrested. Where things are not happening well, take it to God in prayer. Your love for one another should be without pretence. The heart is a difficult part of man but if taken to God in prayer, He circumcises it. When the body is Esau's and the voice is Jacob's among brethren; something is wrong. See that you love one another with a pure heart. Perfect one another in love and holiness.

Thought for today: Love is central to the unity of the body; let's promote it

Song for the day: Though we are many, we are one body………

Bible reading for the day: Deuteronomy 17-19; Mark 14:1-25

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...
