Topic: Proof of Discipleship

Text: John 13:35
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

The proof of our discipleship is not the fact that we pray in tongues for hours.

It is not fasting for a whole year. Neither is it studying the entire Bible 5 times back to back.

Funny enough it is not by the number of souls we win.

The fundamental and foundational proof that you are a disciple is that you practise love.

It is the practise of love that makes all we do acceptable services unto God.

It is not that you have love but that you practise it.

Every child of God, every believer in Christ Jesus has love.

"And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us" Romans 5:5

At the new birth, love is sent into our hearts by the Spirit of Christ.

We are not trying to have love; we already have it.

God is Love. We are now sons of God; therefore we have the love nature.

It is then up to us to show this love to others intentionally.

A believer has love, but a disciple practises love.

Showing love can be difficult, that's why only disciples of Jesus who know the cost of discipleship can practice love the way Jesus did even when He was crucified.

Here's a test for us: Intentionally reach out to someone who might have hurt you and show that person genuine love today.

I pray that the Love of God will permeate our entire being and cause us to practise love in Jesus name.

Have a Graced day.

If you've been blessed or have a question, please let us know. It helps to know that folks are being blessed by this from time to time.

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
