Scriptures: Ephesians 4:1-6, 4:11-12

All of us came to Providence because we were called to come. We must be humble, must be gentle, must be patient, must love and forgive and embrace one another, understand each other, sympathize with each other’s hearts, and must work hard to maintain the unity that the Lord gave us through the Word that he gave us with peace and through the Holy Spirit.

In the world one must put in effort, hard work, and struggling in order to obtain the things one wants. The same is true in the world of faith. If you hurt your enemies because you are angry and suffering, then you will be judged on the day of judgment and you can’t travel the path of glory that God and the Lord want you to travel.

When the Lord works through a person, people see those leaders as the Lord and follow them. If the Lord works with a certain leader, those leaders may seem like the Lord but they are not the Lord. They are but disciples, apostles, prophets, pastors, and evangelists.

The Lord appears through and uses the bodies of whoever He needs as they are needed. However, that doesn’t mean that they are the Lord. He appears through them, delivers the Word through them, evangelizes through them, and makes various miracles happen also. I bless all of you to become the Lord’s body and live as the Lord’s body like today’s scriptures said.

If we want to grow and prosper, then we must testify well about the Lord, give glory to God, and serve Him preciously. We must teach well that the Lord is the Messiah, make people understand the need for salvation, preach the Word well so that the Lord will be with us and work on us.
