LET BROTHERLY LOVE CONTINUE

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: LET BROTHERLY LOVE CONTINUE

TEXT: HEBREWS 13: 1-4 

THURSDAY MAY 25th 

Key Verse: 1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
We must be aware that many things come up in our lives to challenge the pure Christian love in the church, in the family, and in the marriage. Regardless of these things, we are admonished to ensure that brotherly love continues. We have to do good to entertain strangers. Or else we will be continually suspicious of everyone. We will always be fearing. There is no love at times, but the Bible tells us that perfect love casts out all fear. So, our love must be perfect; it must be intact else we cannot live a holy Christian life. Though there are challenges of ungodliness, which makes the relationship difficult, brotherly love must continue. We have to be patient and tolerant or else we will be always angry at the weaknesses and failures of others. Peter was not sure if he had the strength to continue loving and forgiving others who are constantly causing frustration. 
Matthew 18: 21-22, ‘Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, until seven times; but, until seventy times seven.’ 
Jesus speaks of forgiveness beyond what anyone had ever considered before. This is a limitless number of times, which means that we are to be prepared to enable and encourage brotherly love at all times, at any cost. This is a commandment, that we love one another. Owe no man anything but love. Always have a reservation of love for man. It’s risky not to show love. Even though we’re cautious and careful, we still show love. In Luke 10:31, the common treatment was to avoid, but the good Samaritan did not let anything stop him from doing good and kindness. Sometimes the suspicions are not correct, so we should not add to them, but be patient to prove them. Love is an indication of your Christianity. For example, a clock is only good when it shows the correct time, so a Christian is only a Christian when love is evident.

Thought for the day: Love is an indication of your Christianity

Song for the day: With the love of God in me, I will love as God loves…

Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 14-16; John 9:24-41

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...
