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

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
