Topic: Christian war
Ephesians 4:2 KJV
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Why do we contend with each other under the same covering of Christianity?
"James 4:1 KJV
From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?"
These wars, strife, fighting does not come from God. We need to beware of the horses of darkness matching into the churches. Someone wrote openly on the social media, that "finally islam is the way" because the Christians are already confused.
"Romans 2:24 KJV
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written."
"James 4:1 KJV
From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?"

"Romans 2:24 KJV

When wake up in the morning and your delight is in writing a misleading post on social media as a bait to get some people to fight and insult, you're not a christian but a cultist.
From our text we're admonished to possess lowliness and meekness in our relationships. Jesus gave the same admonition,
"Matthew 11:29 KJV
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
The scripture further warns that we should possess longsuffering, and forbearance one towards another in Love. The rate of intolerance for one another in the churches is alarming, people practically insult, disregard and abuse each other. The christian virtues are fast diminishing amongst the Christian community.
"Love" as seen in our text indicates that correction of wrong teachings or ideologies can be done politely, in lowliness, meekness, with longsuffering and forbearance for one another.
Let's take this word of God and put it into action from today.

Prayer: Oh Lord I receive the grace to learn of you, to be meek and lowly hearted in Jesus name.
Remain blessed
