PHANEROO~DEVOTION 19th October 2015 THE LOVE OF THE BRETHREN Apostle Grace Lubega

[Romans 12:10];  Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another.

There is a man who once had a misunderstanding with his wife. He beat her up, tied her to the back of the car and drove off, dragging her on the ground. That man is in prison right now.

Regardless of what someone has done, you cannot tie him or her to a car  with a rope and drag them on the ground. The children watched as this was being done. She got too bruised that she almost lost her life.

This is a man who walked to this woman years ago and told her, ‘I love you, I will be there for you. I want you to be the mother of my children’. A few years later, something happened and he did what he did.

That is a man without God. But like that man did to that woman that day, Christians do it to fellow brethren in the body of Christ every day, spiritually.

We think that our wrath is the Lord’s wrath or that our understanding of love is the same way God understands love.  That horrific picture of the man and wife is what is happening in the church of Christ today. Pastors are dragging fellow pastors to the courts of law, mindless of the people that follow them; assassinating each other's characters with no care as to who they destroy in the process; taking spiritual matters and leaving them to the judgment of natural men. It is sad. God help us.

Now then, I ask the question; what happened to the love of the brethren? That love that covers a multitude of sins? That thing that makes the Christian different from the Buddhist or the Muslim. He said that by this testimony, men will know that we are his disciples.

God has dealt with me enough to understand this one thing; knowledge never saved us, mysteries never saved us; depth never saved us but love saved us for the bible says God so loved the world that he gave his son that whosoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. So, we choose to love men. It does not matter how much they fight us; we made that choice. We will love men.

Excerpt from the sermon: THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE by Apostle Grace Lubega

God has dealt with me enough to understand this one thing; knowledge never saved us, mysteries never saved us; depth never saved us but love saved us.
