THEME: KEEPING AND MAINTAINING GOD’S APPROVED RELATIONSHIPS III 8th July 2020
TEXT: Gal 6:10, John 1:12 - 13

INTRODUCTION:

We thank God for the last two teachings on the theme. We have being studying. We have studied four types of relationships and how to maintain them because they are relationships that God approved. We have also seen that not all relationships are God’s approved. Today we want to study another type of relationship and how to maintain it.

GOD’S FAMILY:

This is the relationship that connects us to the one who orchestrated our new birth and with those born in the same manner. God’s family is the family of believers where God is our father 1Cor 8:6, Mt 6: 9. And Jesus is our brother. We become part of the family at the new birth when we receive Him John 1:12-13. Having become a child of God, we become fellow citizens with the saints Eph. 2:19-22, the household of faith Gal. 6:10, household of God, 1Tim. 3:15. Hence all of us become one with the same father where there is neither Greek or Jew but one in Christ. Gal, 3:28. In other words, no discrimination. Acts 10: 34-35.
God is interested in this relationship because the family will continue here after. John 14:1-2, Eph. 1:9-10, and we are fellow citizens of heaven with the saints Eph. 2:19.

01) How are the members of the family related?

We are all born of God. John 1:13, Born of the spirit John 3: 5-8
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ Rom. 10:9, 1John 5:1 for we are son of God by faith in Jesus Christ. Gal. 3:26, Acts 2:40 – 41
Mt 8:15 –We are doing the will of the father
We are heir of the kingdom and joint heir with Christ. Rom 8:17
Led the by spirit of God. Rom 8:14 and are controlled by the spirit. Rom 8:19 and the spirit that we receive is that of sonship. Rom 8:15
We are children who received righteousness by faith. Rom 4:13 and promises by faith Rom 4:16 and justified by faith Rom 5:1

02) How do we strengthen or maintain this relationship?

Love one another – No hatred, No bitterness – 1John 4:11, Eph. 4:2-3, John 15: 12-13, Heb. 12:15. Let anger be put away from you.
Submitting to one another Eph. 5:21, in the fear of the Lord, wives submitting to husbands. Eph. 5:22, Husband submitting to the wives, children submitting to the parents (Biological and Spiritual) 1Pet. 5:5, Don’t rebuke an elder but take him as a father 1Tim 5:1 and the older women as mothers.
Unity amongst brethren. Pursue courses that will unify the brethren. 1Cor 1:10, Acts 4:32, Phil 2:2-3, Ps 133:1-2.
Learn to forgive each other. Col. 3:13, keep on the fellowship of peace, 2 Cor. 13:11
Fellowshipping together: Heb. 10:25, Acts 4:42, Eph. 5:19 and we need to encourage and build up one another. 1Thes 5:11. Jesus said where two or three are gathered in His name, He will be there, Mt 18:20 and we walk in the light if we fellowship with one another. 1John 1:17
Caring for one another. Acts 2:44-57, Rom 12:10. It is the duty of every believer to care for each other. Pray for each other, support each other, comfort the distress and help the weak. Gal. 6:1-2. Don’t take advantage of your brother. 1 Thes. 4:10 and do good to the household of faith. Gal. 6:10
Speaking truth to one another: Don’t speak against each other. James 4:11, speaking truth in love, Ehp.4:15, don’t tell lies to one another Eph. 4:25, No corrupt communication, Eph. 5:29, and no filthiness nor foolish talking or jesting. Eph. 5:4.
Living in holiness: As long as we live in Holiness, the presence of God will terbanacle with us and will draw us closer to one another. As long as we obey Him together, He will not withdraw His Holy Spirit. Ps. 51:10-12 and we can all make heaven together. Rev. 21:7-8.

CONCLUSION:
The relationship of brethren is very important to God. This is the relationship that transcend to eternity. The desire of God and the Lord Jesus Christ is that we should be one. John 17:12. When we do these things that keep us together, we are able to say ABBA FATHER together.

HOUR OF MERCY.
Good morning on this 2nd day of July 2020.
Theme : Thank the author of Life
Text : Psalm 34 : 1-7
Some 7 days ago I asked us to thank God for at least one hour every day for 7 days. On Sunday night I had a confirmation from the Lord that the praises, Thanksgiving and worship was moving the hand of the Lord to work on behalf of those that believed and were part of this sacrifice unto our maker and author.
1.God created us and gave us life Gen 1 : 26-28, Psalm 139:14
2 He kept maintaining us by continually giving us life John 10: 10
3.Our lives are in His hands Job : 12: 9-10. He can kill and bring back to life Deut 32: 39, 1 Samuel 2: 6.
With these facts ask yourself how you have survived this pandemic to date? It is because He cares about us and He has encompass us with this loving kindness.
Today we shall be completing the 7 days praise , worship and Thanksgiving. If you are yet to join us please do it today. David said in the text that he will bless the Lord at all times. Verse 3 says O magnify the Lord with me. Let's honour Him the more and He will do more and honour us with more life. Hallelujah.
