Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough? (1 Corinthians 5:6). Paul was writing to those who wanted to ignore this problem. They didn't realize that allowing public sin to exist in the church affects all its members. Paul does not expect anyone to be sinless - all believers struggle with sin daily. Instead, he is speaking against those who deliberately sin, feel no guilt, & refuse to repent. This kind of sin cannot be tolerated in the church because it affects others. We have a responsibility to other believers. Yeast makes bread dough rise. Blatant sins, left uncorrected, confuse & divide the congregation. While believers should encourage, pray for & build up one another, there must also be intolerant of sin because it jeopardizes the health of the church. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, we thank you for Jesus. He dealt a severe blow to sin & death on the cross. He made it possible for us to be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ. We are now at peace with you. We are now your children. Help us to deal with sin in our lives head on. Help us to confess it & to repent of it. You have made us royal, help us to live as royal. Forgive us our sins. Purify us from all unrighteousness. Lead us in the way everlasting. In Jesus mighty name we pray & believe, Amen. God bless you all.
Business God's Way: During this annual shutdown for most businesses, i urge you to rest, have quality time with the family & connect with God. Go for a holiday with the family if you can afford. After that, spend some quality time with God in a quiet place for an hour or so & seek His guidance. Carry your note pad & write the points down. Read your Bible, do meditation & pray. Present your plans to the Lord for the coming year & let Him approve them in His own time & in His own way. Be calm, quiet & composed, in order to hear that small still voice, gentle whisper from God. Result: The voice of God will give you guidance & direction for the coming year 2023. If things have not been okay with you in business, the Lord will enable you to have peace & joy in the midst of such storms. He will give you a way out. Do not panic no matter what comes your way. Remain focused on the perfomance & growth of your business. Do not murmur or complain...
