LOVE - HALLMARK OF CHRISTIAN UNITY

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)

DATE: SUNDAY, 30TH OCTOBER, 2022 (TWENTIETH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY) 

TOPIC: LOVE - HALLMARK OF CHRISTIAN UNITY

TEXT: EPHESIANS 3:20-4:1-6

20.  Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
21.  to Him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
22. I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

MESSAGE: 
In today’s bible passage, Paul encourages the believers at Ephesus to walk worthy of their calling. It is possible to be engaged with more than one assignment or responsibility within the body of Christ but, it is another thing to demonstrate sincere love for one another. Unity within the fold may not be possible, and future hope for the body of Christ may not be realistic if we do not subject our personalities and ego to the Lordship of Christ, and embrace the love of God among brethren. In Romans 12:9-11, Paul enjoins Christians to let love be shown to one another without hypocrisy but, rather honour one another, so as to discover their gifts and build a strong united family. What personal efforts are you making to ensure that genuine love stands in your fellowship among the brethren rather than the works of the flesh?
 
PRAYER: 
Grant me grace, O Lord, to show love to people, so that unity can reign in Your Church through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

EXCERPTS FROM: 24/7 WARFARE PRAYERS AND SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH MANUAL

INTRODUCTION Right from childhood, the number “SEVEN” has always been an intrigue, an interesting puzzle, a fascination, and a great phenomenon to me. I was actually born on the seventh day of the month; perhaps this was one of the reasons why something leaps inside of me whenever I see the number. But as I grew up in the Christian faith I began to see a regular reference to it the scriptures. I was kind of saying, whoa! Holy bliss! Seven occurs 257 times, or 7 × 41 Seventh, the fractional part occurs 98 times or 7× 14 Seven –fold occurs 7 times. Seventy occurs 56 times or 7× 8 “Seventy” in combination with other numbers occurs 35 times or 7× 5. God is pleased to stamp the number “Seven” with the seal of perfection and completeness. God never down played the importance of the number, because it was the number of God. It is a carrier of God’s mysteries. It pleased God that, the Seventh man from Adam – Enoch sh...
