Discretion is the ability to understand your way from the past and know what to do next. Discretion means the ability to make wise and careful decisions, especially when you need to decide what is appropriate to do or say. Discretion means having the good judgment to know what to do, when to do it, and what to avoid. Many people are confused. Not knowing where to turn at a time, whether to turn to the right or to the left. If you’ve been finding yourself in this kind of sit...

RAISING GODLY FELLOWSHIP

RAISING GODLY FELLOWSHIP 

Ephesians 4:1-6
Devotional – “Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (v.3)


    It is only the Holy Spirit that can raise true and godly fellowship of believers but He uses the committed members of the body of Christ who make themselves available [Ephesians 4:3]. It is by God’s power this is possible but we must choose to commit ourselves to the work of the kingdom wherever we find ourselves either in the school or in different community on earth.

To raise a genuine and Godly fellowship we must share the truth of the word of God and not of human philosophy [Ephesians 4:15]. To raise true Godly fellowship takes humility, self-importance, and stubborn pride easily destroys fellowship. Humility is the oil that makes relationship smooth [1 Pet 5:5]. To develop humility, admit your weaknesses, be patience with others’ weaknesses, be open to correction and showing others the Bible love [Rom 12:16]. Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less [i.e. to be humble is to think more of others] serving others. 

To raise a godly fellowship takes courtesy i.e. respecting our differences, being considerate of each other’s feeling and patience with people who irritate us [Rom 15:2, Titus 3:2]. To raise a godly fellowship takes confidentiality i.e. we don’t gossip one another’s needs and mistakes. God hates gossip [Proverbs 16:28]. To raise good and godly fellowship takes consistency i.e. regular contact with each other. Godly relationship is not built on convenience but conviction to be one. 

We must learn to encourage and support each other [1 John 3:16]. To raise a godly fellowship we must restore broken relationship [2 Corinthians 5:18, Matt 5:9]. Restoring broken relationship or fellowship is a lot of work. To restore relationships, talk to God before talking to people and sympathize with their feelings. Confess your part of the conflict [Matt 7:5]. Attack the problem and not the person [Proverbs 15:1]. Cooperate and emphasize on reconciliation and not just resolution. Peace! 

 PRAYERS—Lord, make me your vessel for a godly fellowship

Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

DOMINION

  DOMINION   Psalms 8:1-9 Devotional:- “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV      At creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6; Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God (Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to be in charge of all creation.
