DIVISION IS THE PROOF OF CARNALITY PART 2

 DIVISION IS THE PROOF OF CARNALITY PART 2
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:3
TOPIC: Division is the Proof of Carnality Part 2  
 
“For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?”
                                                                                                                                     1 Corinthians 3:3
 
One of the last prayers of Jesus for His disciples and for those to come after the disciples to the Father was that they might be one, not divided. Jesus and the Father are one, He therefore desired for the disciples to also be one in them.
 
“Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.”
                                                                                                                                          John 17:20-21
 
This prayer was answered in the New Testament church in an amazing way. The bible says;
 
“And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.”
                                                                                                                                                   Acts 4:32
 
It is time for the church to root out all forms of division. It is time for the church to fight to be united in Christ. We must do this of ail. We must accomplish this or be consumed by one another.

“For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.”
                                                                                                                                    Galatians 5:14-15
 
If we do not fight to love one another, but we choose to bite and devour one another, be warned; the end result is the consummation of ourselves by one another.
 
“Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:”

                                                                                                                                                      1 Peter 3:8

Clearly, all pastors of the first century church fought for the members to be united and in love one with another. Today leaders barely bother with the unity in the Body. We do not care who dislikes who, we are not perturbed about who disdains another. Yet you see throughout the scriptures how all these first century pastors and apostles fought for the Body to be united and live in love.
 
“Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;”
                                                                                                                                     Philippians 1:27
 
The church must not apologize in this fight to root out those who bring contention; there is mischief in their hearts. They only gather for war, to leave them to the mischief is their heart is to continually have war and division in the church.
 
“Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.”
                                                                                                                                            Psalm 140:2

REASONS WHY YOU MUST REDEEM THE TIME - PART 4

Scripture: Psalm 90:9-12 Topic: You must redeem the time because that is the only wise thing to do with your life. Unfortunately, many people do not treat time and opportunity as a special commodity. Time is something rare and precious, which God gives to all of us. It is the only thing you cannot regain or get back. When it is gone, it is gone forever. God’s admonition to us is to use the time we have on earth to do as much for Him as possible. We must work while it is day. The only wise thing to do with your life is to redeem the time for the work of the Lord. "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts un...

THE POWER OF BEING THANKFUL - PART 6

Scripture : Romans 1:21 Topic : Unthankfulness in a person is a door to many evils.  "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED..."  Romans 1:21 The scripture above shows us clearly that many of the evils and perversions in this world came through unthankfulness. When men discovered more about the creation and discovered the beautiful earth that God had made, they were not thankful.  When they discovered planets, when they discovered the moon and when they discovered the stars, they were not thankful to God. And because they were unthankful, they became vain in their imaginations. Your imaginations become more vain, the more unthankful you are.  When people are unthankful they become almost mad. Their unthankfulness is a form of insanity. Why would you not be grateful for the oxygen you breathe, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the life t...

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  Topic: Why Prayer is Mysterious Part 3.  Prayer is mysterious because God is mysterious! God is mysterious and there is nothing we can do about it! If you think you will ever know everything about God then you must think again! God is not a man and we cannot know everything about Him. It is precisely because of the mysteries surrounding God that a lot of people do not pray.  In this series of our quiet time we will see the mysteries surrounding prayer and we will learn that these mysteries should not keep us from prayer but rather draw us closer in search of answers. 3. Mysteriously, God seems to want us to keep asking about the same things even though we have asked Him before.  "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17  If God did not know about our problems on the first day, He must know our problems and our needs by the third day of our prayer. If He knows all things so well, why does...
