Prayer before the Word:

TODAY’S TOPIC: Brotherliness in Christ
Text: 1 Cor. 11:17-26 (NIV):
"11:17. In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good.
11:18. In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it.
11:19. No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God's approval.
11:20. When you come together, it is not the Lord's Supper you eat,
11:21. for as you eat, each of you goes ahead without waiting for anybody else. One remains hungry, another gets drunk.
11:22. Don't you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? Certainly not!
11:23. For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,11:24. and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me."
11:25. In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me."
11:26. For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
SHOWER (Reflection):
We, the children of God must set examples to the world through our lifestyles. That is how the world can learn from us how to love, cherish and relate with others in Christ Jesus. This can be done when we feed one another, provide helps to those in need, inter-relate and so on. But it is painful that the church today is filled with people who are after their mouths alone. That is bad. And probably one reasons the world hates the righteous.
