OUR FIRST LOVE


OUR FIRST LOVE

Sunday, 4th June 2023

Revelation 2:4 KJV
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

Availability is not wholeheartedness that's why God searches the heart and test the mind. 

In our theme scripture we learn that Love is fundamental in ministry; your love relationship with God. Because before the theme scripture we see that this church was okay in everything but the issue was the FIRST LOVE 
           Ministers are consumed by a lot of programs where they over be everywhere in the name of serving God and they shorten their personal time with God.

I understand there's a place where it's your season of manifestation but you have not to lose your place of first Love; that one on one, when it's you and your lover alone.

In Mark 6:46 we see the lifestyle of our Lord that He still created that personal time with God. The didn't allow the ministry to take all His time in that He lacked time to be with His Father. 

Ministry is good in the sight of God but learn to discern what's lawful and permissible and at what time in which season. Because you can do all those activities and come out when your relationship with God is lacking.

JOT OF VERACITY
Give God time because that is one of the way you maintain your first Love and learn not to be everywhere because gifts will not stop creating rooms and bringing you before great men.

PRAYER
Loving Father I thank You for this Word today, I pray that You may teach me to do the right thing at the right time IN JESUS NAME AMEN

POWER OVER SIN

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DAILY DEVOTION Bible study department Sunday 16th June,2024 Galatians 5:24 (TLB) Those who belong to be Christ have nailed their natural evil desires to his cross and crucified them there.   POWER OVER SIN The strength for our conquering and our victory is drawn continually from Christ. The Bible does not teach that sin is completely eradicated from the Christian in this life, but it does teach that sin shall no longer reign over you.  The strength and power of sin have been broken. The Christian now has resources available to live above and beyond this world. The Bible teaches that whosoever is born of God does not practice sin. It is like the little girl who said that when the devil came knocking with a temptation, she just sent Jesus to the door. FURTHER STUDY: Romans 4:7(NKJV) Romans 6:14(NKJV) 1 John:18(NKJV) PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I Thank you for the power that continually make me live above sin, I live and move as a victor because the world finds ...

ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY ~ DEVOTIONS Bible study department Saturday 13th January 2024 John 14:15-16 NKJV "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD In this portion of scripture, Jesus is telling his disciples that they have to keep His commandments then by that is when He will ask God the Father to send them the helper, that will abide with them forever. Mark 12:30 - 31 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." There are many commandments that were given to the children of Israel but then we see Jesus Christ The Son of God enlightening us in this part of scripture that there is no other c...

Necessity Of Fasting

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DAILY DEVOTIONS Bible study department Thursday 13th June 2024 Mathew 17:21 (kJV)   "How beit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." NECESSITY OF FASTING In the book of Mathew 9:14-15,we realize that the groom left only when he spent 3 days in the grave. We all believe in His resurrection and the bible clearly tells us that when we received Him He begun to dwell in us, in other words the bridegroom is with us still. So why then do we fast?? Many christians have it on their minds that it's because they fast that they receive results simply because they received results after some serious days, weeks, months, or even years of fasting, this is a very inconsistent way to go about fasting because if you think that what Jesus did on the cross is not enough, then how much more is your fasting insufficient?? , you can't help God by fasting. Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 9:27(AMP) ".........but like a boxer, I buffett my...
