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.

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...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
