MY BROTHER! MY SISTER!

25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home (John 19:25-27)

This statement of Christ epitomizes the power of the Cross, in breaking the dividing walls of hostility or division and building in Christ one new family. The statement seeks to create a new family based on his sacrificed body. Mary the Mother of Jesus was to see John as her son and John to see Mary as his mother. By extension, therefore, all the other disciples are to see themselves as brothers and sisters. A family united through the blood of the lamb.

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:26-29),

No matter where we come from, our background, achievements and failures, experience or naivety, male or female, race or colour, rich or poor, educated or illiterate, foreigner or indigenous, Greek or Jew we are all one in Christ. A warm FAMILY

Indeed the bond of unity by the blood of Jesus is stronger than bond of unity from our biological parents. We should therefore do every thing possible to keep the unity of the body of Christ. Jesus makes it clear that whoever does the will of the father is his brother and sister.

For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. (Matthew 12:50)

In Christ therefore a new family has been established. One family bonded by the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.

It is therefore amazing when sometimes some believers treat each other as enemies and strangers. Let us, therefore, watch those who produce discord and division in the body of Christ.

Let true brothers and sisters of our Lord and savior come together to build one another up, rather than tearing each other apart. Let us learn to forgive each other and help restore our brothers and sisters who have backslidden. Let us show so much care for each other even when we disagree. Let us back our faith and confession with action.

We have only one enemy, the devil. Let us not even see those brethren who disagree with us as enemies. Even in extreme cases where they may stab us in the back, betray or work against us, let is still not in our heart see them as enemies. May we learn not to harbor hurt or bitterness in our heart no matter how much we feel shortchanged. Let us fight back with LOVE and BLESSINGS. May we not give the devil a foothold at all. For indeed God is able to work out all things for our good.

May the Spirit of brotherliness sweep over us and bring our hearts together in an awesome bond of unity and affection for each other.

YOU ARE MY BROTHER! YOU ARE MY SISTER. I LOVE YOU

Translation 

I have Jesus who lives in Me

He lives in me always

He lives in my heart always

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12 KJV)

Our world today is one that is full of darkness. According to the Long man dictionary; darkness can be said to be a moment or an instant when there is no light. And from the text above, we can deduce that anyone who does not know Jesus or a follower of him is automatically walking in darkness, meaning, there is the absence of light in that individual’s life.

Now, whenever you are in a place with no light what happens? There was a time when the lights in my room went off and I tell you, I kept hitting my foot against anything in the room because I couldn’t see. Whenever there is the absence of light, everything becomes a mess.

The sinful act of the world has made the world so dark. This also means that men and women living in the world are all walking in darkness but the good news is that whoever accepts Jesus Christ as his Lord and personal savior is transformed from darkness to the light, halleluJah.

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe in his name” (John 1:12 KJV)

They that believe in Jesus Christ, walks with him and follow him will automatically receive the light and not just any light but the light of life, thus, the light to see through in this dark world.  The light that will guide you to walk through in this dark world. I believe that darkness is not a permanent thing that occurs in one’s life. The choice to continue living in darkness lies in the hands of each and every one of us. I say this because whenever the lights in your room go off, it is your choice to choose whether to light a candle, put on your generator or continue to stay in the dark.

Jesus is the greater light, the light we need to see through and continue our walk with him in this dark world.

I recommend the greater light (Jesus Christ) to you. Receive Jesus and receive the light of life, ignore him and walk in darkness. The choice is in your own hands but I wish you make the best choice of being with Jesus.                                                From the Media team
