Topic: Work Worthy Of The Lord 9
Text: Ephesians 4:1-3  
"I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."

Reflection: 
Paul moves from doctrine to duty. Here is a challenge (command) to practical Christian living. It is putting our faith into action. It is turning beliefs into behavior.

The word “calling” is vocation. It does not mean job but to walk the “Jesus life”. It refers to living a life that reveals and reflects Jesus. It is a striving to walk as Jesus walked. What all does that involve?

I. Walk in Humility and Gentleness
“Lowliness and meekness” (KJV). “Humility” = putting Christ first, others second and self last. Don’t think more highly or less highly of yourself. Know yourself, accept yourself, and be yourself to the glory of God. Don’t be a person with an arrogant, pushy and disruptive spirit.
“Meekness” = gentle. This is not weakness. It is power under control.

II. Walk in Patience
“Longsuffering.” This is a “hang-in-there” attitude when life is at low ebb. No one is constantly on the mountaintop. Some situations are quiet demanding. Human relationships will prove to be disruptive at times. Be an overcomer (Ps. 27:14). The word means “long-tempered”. It’s the ability to endure discomfort without fighting back.

III. Walk in Forbearance
Walk in love. Seek to understand and live at peace with one another. Be compassionate, warm, approachable, kind and loving. Quit analyzing everyone. Max Lucado wrote these words about Jesus:
“Jesus was approachable by the common people. People enjoyed being with him. The Almighty wasn’t high and mighty. The Holy One wasn’t holier than thou. The one who knew it all wasn’t a know it all. The one who made the stars didn’t keep his head in them. The one who owns all stuff on earth never strutted it. His faith made him likable, not detestable.”

Be a Good Samaritan. Help people up. That’s the Jesus way. Don’t be pious, condemning and self-righteous. Quit tearing people down.

Prayer: 
Father, please help me to live a life of Christ In Jesus Name 🙇🏽‍♂️

Peculiar People. Part 2 THE RIGHT TO BECOME THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

THE RIGHT TO BECOME THE CHILDREN OF GOD.  John 1:12-13   But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. It is a common thing for a child to call someone his Father or somebody called a child his son. There are lots of things to consider before someone could be the real Father or real son . Sometimes there may be a need for DNA test to be sure. We remember Chief MKO Abiola of blessed memory. In his WILL demanded a DNA test for all his other children apart the children of his first wife. When he was alive he take them as children but now he wanted to prove that they are truly his children. For the prove of the right of God children, apart from Our Lord Jesus Christ, all other children of God will undergo DNA test. Matt 3:16-17 Let us break the Topic into two parts. The Right to become.... Children of God. What i

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional Monday 25th March 2024 Topic: Hidden Treasures 25 - Divine Treasure Text: Matthew 6:19-21   "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Reflection:  “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth…” What is our “treasure”? As God’s children, do we know what should be our real treasure? The word “treasures” refer not just to money, or material wealth, but also to anything that we highly value, or we greatly enjoy or delight in. Not only gold or our bank accounts, but we can greatly value our job, family, hobby, friends, ambitions, or whatever material possession. We can also treasure our own personal beliefs, behavior, lifestyle, or even our lifetime i

April Online Seminar  Theme: God's Workmanship.  Text: Ephesians 2:10  "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them" INTRODUCTION  God calls us His workmanship or His artwork, from the Greek word poiēma. We are something crafted, with skill and a purpose, by God, for His purposes. Specifically, we are "created in Christ Jesus for good works." Good works do not give us salvation, but they are absolutely meant to be the result of salvation. THE TRUTH  The truth that Christ’s believers are God’s workmanship reflects His works of creation, redemption, provision, and sanctification in every believer’s life. This workmanship displays the greatness and the goodness of the loving Creator. IN CHRIST JESUS The words “in Christ Jesus” is the ground upon which salvation rests. When God makes a new creature out of a sinner, He does it in Christ Jesus. He and He alone is the only w
