PATIENCE

Text:  1 Corinthian 13:4

Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful and is not conceited._ 

Patience is the very first quality of Love as we have it in our text. And we understand from 1 John 4:8 that, God is love,  hence, one good quality of God is Patience, 2 Peter 3:9. Romans 15:5

Patience is a virtue needed mostly in difficult and unpleasant situations.  No one needs to preach patience to a man who gets everything he needs at his beck and call. So your patience is tried when you are required to wait for or on someone or something. 1 Peter 2:20, Romans 5:3-4.

Patience is your ability to wait without losing your temper.

For you have need of patience, that,  after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise.Hebrews 10:36.

That is,  it is possible to do the Will of God without getting the promise if you lack Patience. 

To inherit the promise,  you need both faith and Patience. Hebrews 6:12. Even in the natural,  the reason people miss the plan of God for their lives,  marriage,  career,  business etc,  is because they are deficient in patience. It's not about how far you have waited,  it is all about waiting to the very end.Hebrews 6:15. 

Here is the conclusion : 

1. Be Patient towards all men. It's the proof of the seed of God in you. 1 Thessalonians 5:14.

2. Be Patient unto the coming of Christ. James 5:8, 2 Thessalonians 3:5. 

Never lose sight of this. Jesus Christ is coming back again for those who  patiently wait for Him. 

 **Remember,  only those that endure to the end shall be saved. Matthew 10:22, 24:13, Mark 13:13.* 

Bible reading: James 5:7-20

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
