(TEXT : Hebrews 13:1)
Let brotherly love continue.
FOCUS :
In a tough time like this when terrible things are happening in everywhere we turned; it’s obvious that all we need is each other to survive. As brothers and sisters (in love), we are both on a mission assignment here on earth, and on this mission it is a battlefield. Your brother or sister will be wounded and sustain many fractions, bruise and damages all over. At this point, your brother or sister at the battlefield needs your help to get back on his or her foot. We might not have this same colour of skin or speak the same language, talk the same way, thinks the same way, have the same status, or eat and drink the same way as brothers and sisters; but the truth is, our BLOOD is from the “same source” and that is the secret in our DNA. If your brother or sister falls, raise him or her up and stop looking down on them.
Proverbs 18:19
A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
In addition, the brotherly of the old and the apostles are those who we should be emulating on this path of our FAITH. The road to heaven it’s very narrow, but you will always need a brother or a sister that will keep your FAITH steady alive on this path. Nobody is useless, or worthless; in the body of Christ, we are useful, impactful and very important in the sight of God. We all need each other to survive any physical, spiritual, financial, emotional, ministerial business and even marital (storms), challenges and temptations. The brotherhood of the old, were found busy “breaking breads” from one house to another knowing fully well that they are in one accord to fulfill one common goal and with single mindset of achieving one mission.
Acts 2:42, 46 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
Acts 6:1-7 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Finally, in the body of Christ today, some brothers are for Apollo, some sisters are for Paul, and some are for Cephas or Christ. Why the division amongst the body of Christ today? We are meant to be strengthing one another in a time like this and not otherwise. Some brothers and sisters are “weak” (physically, spiritually, emotionally, materially, financially, ministerial, maritally, mentally, and academically under our watch and yet, we behave ourselves as if nothing has happened to them. Stop exposing your brothers and sisters to danger, you are suppose to be covering their nakedness; and that is what brothers and sisters in the Lord do for each other.
1 Corinthians 1:12-13 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
1 Thessalonians 4:9
But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
BE SAFE AND GET SAVED!
God bless you richly!
Jesus Christ loves you
Thank you Holy Spirit
ARE YOU SAVED?
