PATIENCE

Text : 1Co 13:4.

 *Love is always patient; love is always kind; love is never envious or arrogant with pride. Nor is she conceited,* 

The very first feature of love as we have it in our text is patience. LOVE IS ALWAYS PATIENT.  

 *Your patience rope shows your Love's depth. Love is always patient. HOW PATIENT ARE YOU?* 

Humans are impatient by nature. We want everything NOW. Instant noodles, instant camera, fast foods, ready-made husbands or wives and the list is endless, these are all means designed by man to satisfy his need of urgency. 

The reason many end up in wrong marriages today is basically because of lack of patience, a little more patience will save you from lots of troubles. 

According to the English dictionary, patience is the willingness to wait for something if necessary; without losing one's temper while waiting.

 *If he is the right person for you, he will wait for you, he wouldn't rush you into ungodly practices, ditto for the girl too.* 

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: *he that believeth shall not make haste.* Isa 28:16.

 *Whenever you feel pressured to take a decision in a hurry, be wise enough to pause and reconsider, remember that he that believes will not make haste.* 

 *Patience is a fruit of the Spirit that those who follow this world system can't afford.* You need to grow in this virtue and you need to allow the Spirit work out the fruit in you. 

Without patience, you do not have hope of receiving God's promise. 

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

Bible Reading : 1Thes. 1:1-10.

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...
