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...

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...
