Scripture Reading: Gal.5:22-23.
Memory verse for the week: Heb 1:1-2
Long ago God spoke to the fathers by the prophets at different times and in different ways. In these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son. God has appointed Him heir of all things and made the universe through Him. (HCS)
4) LONGSUFFERING: This also means patience or endurance. It is the ability to hold-on. Holding-on to the promises of God even when it seems such promises won’t come to pass (Hab. 2:2). Also, a patient person has the ability to exercise revenge but instead, exercises restraint. Are you patient with your friends in school?
5)GENTLENESS: Gentleness means more than being a quiet person. It refers to the work of Holy Spirit in the heart of a believer that makes one calm in the spirit, mild in correcting others; and defending an argument. Consider Jesus in Mat 23:37.
6)GOODNESS: The state of being good; having hatred for evil. It means living a life of moral excellence, all by the power of the Holy Ghost. It also means kindness. A believer who is kind renders a particular service without expecting anything in return. Kindness is respect and helping others without waiting for anyone to help back. As the Spirit helps you, learn to give free services.
ACTION WORD: OUR CHARACTER BEST DEFINES OUR CHRISTIAN LIVING.
PRAYER POINT:
- Holy Spirit my special friend, perfect your work in my character, in the name of Jesus
I receive grace for impeccable character in my thoughts, words, and actions in Jesus mighty name
