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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
