READ: EXODUS
17:8-13
The church
of the living God has a lot of lessons to learn from the godhead. Unity, love
and mutual co-existence and preferring one another are visibly demonstrated
among them. Fro example, Jesus is acknowledged as the greatest (John 14:28).
God the Father said Jesus has a Name above all other names (Philippians 2:9).
The Holy Spirit was sent by the Father to glorify the Son (John 16:14). Jesus
Christ said that if you offend the Holy Spirit you would not be forgiven (Luke
12:10). Who then is the greatest among them? Each of them honours the other personality
in the godhead. Wherever there is love there is no strife. If this is not
settled in our lives, we shall never win the world. Once we love one another,
we will be able to work as a team, in harmony and in one accord. If we go to
battle in one accord, it will be very difficult for any enemy to defeat us. It
is when we love one another with brotherly love that we will be able to harness
all our resource. A very good example is found in our text. Aaron and Hur
harnessed their resources and the children of Israel won the battle against the
Amalekites. We must learn a lesson from this. All soldiers of Christ must lift
up the banner of move. Additionally, we cannot fight the battle of life alone.
We must enlist others. There are lots of civilians among us. We must enlist
them. The civilian here means anyone who is not in the army of the Lord: anyone
who is not yet born again. Jesus Christ said we should do to the civilian as He
has done to us. John 14:12: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who
believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than
these he will do, because I go to My Father.” What were the works that
He did to us? He came to recruit us into the army of the LORD. We must reach
out to others by recruiting them into the army of the Lord.
MEMORIZE:
JOHN 14:28 –You have heard Me say to you, I am going away and coming back to
you. I you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, I am going to the
Father, for My Father is greater than I.
