FAULTS AND MISTAKES

Saying , Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm
                        1 chronicles 6:22

As a Christian we are not to be quick to judge.

A mature person is not judgmental but tries to understand the mistakes of his neighbor.

In the book of Galatians chapter 6 vrs 1 it says,

Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.

Also in Matthew 7:3 the Bible says,

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Look at things with the spiritual eye and ye shall not judge thy neighbor

"Who Is A Saint?
                         There Is None Without Sin."

LEAVE YOUR GIFT......

And forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us..

In Mathew chapter 5 v21,the Bible addresses anger, holding grudges and the need to forgive.
The verse number 23 says why it is important to forgive our brothers before we even try to make peace with God.

*five reasons why you must leave your gift at the alter
- having a good relationship means you are not a liar

- having a good relationship proves that you are not a murderer
.                  1 John 3:15

- having a good relationship proves that you are not abiding in death
                   1 John 3:14

- having a good relationship is a proof that you are no longer in darkness
.
-having a good relationship is a proof that you have forgiven those who have wronged you

ProTon

But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all other things shall be added.
                                           Math 6:33

January,  our month of proton, our month of first. First in putting God above all things, hence, Mathew 6:33
First thing to seek when you find yourself in a new environment:  purpose

*why it is necessary to put that which is first first......
1. Any thing that is not done first loses it's significance.

2. That which is supposed to be first when not done, may never be done.
It is an insult to give the second place to that which is first.

3. Problems abound when that which is first becomes second.

THE LORD'S PRAYER EXPLAINED

Sermon by BISHOP FRANCIS SARPONG

The Lord's prayer is one of the most powerful prayer every Christian can pray.

When the disciples went to Jesus to ask him to teach them how to pray, Jesus taught them the Lords prayer.
But as a Christian do you know what the Lords prayer fully entails?

Jesus gave the outline for the the Lords prayer which touches on:

Facet one: Worship and Reverence to God
Our father who art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name

Facet two: Establishment of Gods kingdom on earth
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth
As it is in Heaven

Facet three: Supply of our daily needs
Give us this day our daily bread

Facet four:A call to forgive our neighbors
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who
Tresspass against us

Facet five:Spiritual protection from the evil one
And lead us not into temptation
But Deliver us from the evil one

Nothing Jesus taught should be taken for granted.
Especially the aspect that deals with the evil one.
