Improving Our Spiritual Understanding
Memory Verse
“Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered”(Heb 5:8).
Dearly Beloved
Let’s emulate Jesus and LEARN from our challenges. The trials and challenges we go through are for our learning. As the beloved Son of God, the bible says Jesus himself learned through what He suffered.
There are Christians who know very little about Jesus. Christianity without Jesus Christ is an empty religion. He is the Word of God. He is a Spirit. He was with God in the beginning and He is God (John 1:1). All things were created by Him for himself (Colossians 1:16).
Some seemingly hard teachings from the Word:
“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” (Matt 5:44);
“Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets” (Matt 7:12);
“It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35);
“There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth” (Prov 11:24);
“Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head” (Rm 12:20);
Beloved, only true learning can bring us to a perfect state of obedience to the Word. It does not come easily . No wonder Saint James admonished us:
“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing” ( James 1:2-4).
How easy is it for you to rejoice when faced with challenges. Only the grace of God(Jesus) can accomplish it.
Stay connected to JESUS, the Word . Be knowledgeable. Be wise. Be enlightened. Align your thoughts to His (Isaiah 55:8-9).
Stay Active!
Keep your thoughts & mind positive/ healthy.
Ensure you think no evil against anyone.
Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
Be compassionate, merciful and kind to one another.
Good morning my beloved.
