Friday November 10
Bible Reading: Eph. 4: 1 - 6
Topic: Practical Show Of Christian
Love
It is one thing to sing,
preach and talk about love being the unbreakable cord that binds us together,
but it is another thing altogether to demonstrate this love practically as the
characteristic that identifies us as Jesus' Disciples (John 13: 34 - 35)
There can be no true
unity, no glorious hope for the future for the Body of Christ unless we subject
our egos and personal ambitions to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in the interest
of the Church and our witness for Him.
This requires us to have
the Mind of Christ (Phil. 2: 5 - 11) without which we exhibit the works of the
flesh (Gal. 5: 19 - 21)
In Rom. 12: 3 - 8, Paul
enjoins Christians not to think more highly of themselves as they ought to but
to rather encourage one another to discover and exercise our gifts to build a
strong united house.
What personal sacrifices
are you making to ensure that love rules in your fellowship, to ensure that you
exhibit the fruit of the Spirit rather than the works of the flesh?
Examine your life today
and allow the Holy Spirit of God to show you where you need to make amends.
Prayer
Father, grant me the grace
to do what I should so that peace and unity can reign in my Church/Fellowship
in Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
Memory Verse Eph. 4: 6
"One God and Father
of all, Who is above all and through all and in you all."
