TOPIC: THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD "CHRISTAN" II.
TEXT: 2 COR. 5:16-20 

MESSAGE
Antioch is actually supposed to be the"mother church" in Christendome and not Rome. It is recorded that Paul and Barnabas sojourned in Antioch for one full year, teaching and grooming people from various belief about God to be under the umbrella of Christianity. There was a lot of contempt, mockery and persecutions from other professed scholars in the Jewish religious together with the hearthens and Gentiles which did not restrain or deter these true followers from sticking together in their manner and belief of worship once converted. 



There was no longer Jews nor Gentiles as all the former marks of distinction and separation were no longer visible in the new church of Christ. The name of Jesus although not used in philosophy were the followers of Plato assured and preferred to be called Platonists and other likewise, the office of Christ- the anointed magnified as it became a prefix to those who agree to become His faithful hence Christ-like or Chris-tain. Thus they believed in Him who is the anointed that through Him they shall have anointing "And God said to have anointed us in Christ" 2 Cor. 1:21. Our text in verse 17 says "Therefore if any man be in Christ,he is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold all things have become new".
 Beloved,in changing our names we must amend Our manners to suit our profess. As we must look upon ourselves as Christians so we must look upon other Christians and love and respect them because of whose name they bear and belong to. More so,no man who nameth the name of Christ should continue in any form of or things that resemble evil. Good day.

PRAYER POINTS: 
START WITH PRAISE & WORSHIP..
1. Appreciate God for a new day and for His word.
2. Pray for forgiveness in any way you made mockery of his name.
3. Pray that God should give you a new heart to start all over again.
4. Pray for the spirit of love and unity so that we can promote the gospel.

Heart Not Garment - 2

"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

The True Picture Of The Church Today II

By Date -
THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: Sunday 7th, June 2020. TOPIC: The True Picture Of The Church Today II TEXT: Rev. 3:15  MESSAGE "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot".Vs 15, so then because thou art lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Lukewarmness and indifference in religion is the worst tempter in the world. The husband of a lukewarm wife is always confused as he would not know when and how to please the wife. So are members of the church whose heart cannot be determined. They are between two opinions. We also have these in the church because they are high minded and proud, they have unknowingly overlooked the necessity of their souls as they gorgeously dressed up in Costly apparel at the expense and decay of their souls, making them to be wretched poor and miserable.  Also there is the state of blindness which the devil is using against the church today which has made them very weak and defensele...
