TOPIC: LOVE AND SUBMISSION AMONG BRETHREN 

TEXT: PSALM 133:1-3
1. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2. It is like the precious ointment upon the head that ran down upon the beard, Even Aaron's beard: That went down to the skirts of his garments;
3. As the dew of Hermon, And as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: For there the LORD commanded the blessing, Even life for evermore.

KEY VERSE: 1 CORINTHIANS 14:40 “Let all things be done decently and in order”

God is a God of love and order and desires order among His people. For this to be so there must be submission. To achieve love in the church, we must appreciate, understand, and give room to one another, living in peace and unity. God wants to see beauty in His church. 

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. Love is required for biblical unity. God wants the unity of the living; people alive and united. People who have differences in them in height, colour, position, and status, yet living in love and unity, make God to be happy. 

When Jesus was to leave the earth, He gave His disciples the commandment to love. John 13:34-35. “A new commandment I give unto you that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another, by this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

You will see something wonderful about the love of God in the heart of a believer among Jesus Christ and His disciples. They were of different backgrounds and nature, yet the love Jesus Christ had for them was satisfactory so much that when Jesus Christ said He was going to leave them they began to ask who was the greatest to take over.. 

Love your brethren so sincerely that there would be no tribal or class differences. We in leadership positions should love everyone under us so well that nobody will accuse us of partiality. James and John were brought by their mother to Jesus Christ and requested that her two sons seat one on His right hand and the other on his left in His Kingdom. 

He answered and said it is His Father that gives position not by preferential treatment. As a leader, please love all very well. Do you know how you feel so peaceful in my presence? Show love to make others feel so in your presence, too. Let them not feel it is a special relationship with you that determines your love for them. Bible says God is love. Then, if you want God to walk through you, employ love. Do not love in discrimination.

Thought of the day: Love is the fulfilment of the law.

Song for the day: I will love, I will love, I will love

Bible reading for the day: Daniel 9-12

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
