TODAY’S TOPIC: Be at peace with all
Text: Colossians 3:15- 25 (NIV):
"3:15. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
3:16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
3:17. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.Instructions for Christian Households
3:18. Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
3:19. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
3:20. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
3:21. Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.3:22. Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.
3:23. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,
3:24. since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
3:25. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
SHOWER (Reflection):
We are charged to be at peace to all people around us. The wives are encouraged to be submissive; husband asked to be lovely; children enjoined to be respectful; slaves to be obedient; and fathers to love all. All these are necessary to build our daily lives, spiritual and physical growth. This is because no one is better or greater than another before God. He treats us equally and wants us to extend same to others. Unfortunately, reverse is the case in our country today. Let us have a rethink and return back to our factory setting Christianity.
