Get Rid Of Hatred 

Monday 24th November 

Text: Leviticus 19: 15 - 18
Key verse: Roman 12: 18 "If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men," 
Hatred is resentment, rejection, dislike and denial of love towards a person. Hatred carries with it the potential to harm the one hated. An angry person may hate the person that often annoys him. Cain hated Abel because he envied the grace of God in his life. Malice in the heart against a person may grow into hatred. Some people lie against those they hate to hurt them. Potiphar's wife lied against Joseph to harm him because he refused her immoral offer. Her lusting after Joseph turned to hatred afterward. A covetous man may hate the person hindering his selfish pursuits. A proud man hates those who refuse to hail him. Haman hated Mordecai for refusing to bow to him. Some other reasons for hatred against someone may be because of racial difference, tribal conflict, or family conflict. 
Some hate others without a cause. The Lord warns us against hatred. Those who harbour hatred against others are not true Christians and so cannot inherit the kingdom of God because they are still in sinful darkness. "Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him", 1 John 3: 15. Remove every form of hatred from your heart: hatred due to racial, tribal or ethnic difference, malice, envy or fear. Turn to Jesus in faith and continuous prayer for your salvation and purity. Ask God to fill your heart with love for all men. 
The scripture exhorts: "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," 1 Peter 1:22. Live in peace and love with all men. Reprove those who have wronged you and forgive them. Forgive those who hate you without cause or for your faith in Christ. Pray always for God's daily grace to live and relate with all men, especially, difficult and unfriendly people. 

Thought for the day: Pray always for God's grace to live and relate with all men  

Song for the day: Give me grace to follow, abundant grace to follow

Bible reading for the day: Romans 1-3

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
