LOVE DRIVES OUR FELLOWSHIP

-

John 15:17 

These things I command you, that ye love one another.


Philippians 2:1

Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,


It will be difficult to live in love when carried away with the activities of this world. If you allow your mind to dwell too much on the not too interesting events of the past days, you may unconsciously begin to vent the stress or anger on someone else.


We should be conscious of God's love!


Well as humans we cannot boast of being 100% conscious. Check yourself, for truly we have a life to live on this earth and the secular life is part of it. Not all we do is spiritual, yet we must not get carried away. This is why we have the Holy Spirit. He comes into play, He is our helper.


He brings to remembrance those things Jesus taught us.


John 14:26

"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.


The word of God gives us the consciousness of God's will at all times. Many have a lot to say about God's word (scriptures), some even want to criticize, others want to claim that they canonized it. Thank God we are at the age of wisdom, knowledge is exposed to all. We are not trapped or enslaved by one powerful fold or principality that would cage us from God's word, it was not so when Christ was here neither was it so when the apostles ministered, everyone had access to scriptures. So it is demonic to resist believers from reading and studying God's word - the scriptures. (. . . a topic for another day . . .)


If Love is of God, then we always have to be in His presence to showcase this character. We are reminded that God's presence with us is His Holy Spirit.


Galatians 5:22a

But the fruit of the Spirit is love . . .


Remember that there are vices that will not allow love to reign, we should kill it! Jealousy/envy, backbiting, pride, tribalism/racism, unhealthy competitions, selfishness and many more. They should not be found among us.


Today as we worship with other brethren may we come with love in our hearts that the author and the Person of Love Himself will fill us afresh.


We gather to be strengthened and edified and to go forth into the world to shine the true light. Not the madness we see today, like pastors building/refurbishing houses of idolatry, practice of unscriptural traditions and the mad rush for money or fame. May the eyes of the blinded ones be opened.


Never forget that God is interested in your heart, yes, your motive. If it is NOT love, then what else can it be?


Help us Good Lord.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
