This song was a favorite among our church sang by Brother Ed Szabo of the Cleveland area.
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(Eph 4:1) “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, (2) With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;” Longsuffering speaks of “keeping on keeping on” no matter what the circumstance of reaction to individuals or by individuals. We are to be instant in season and out of season. This vocation demands lowliness, meekness, and longsuffering because we represent the Lord Jesus Christ! He is all those things.
THIRSTING SOULS BIBLE SERMONS: “Oneness”
What does the Lord means when He says, “We are one in Christ?” Is he speaking figuratively? Here we have a close look at subject in the Book of Ephesians.
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(Eph 4:1) “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, (2 ) With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;” Instruction is given on how to conduct our vocation. “Meekness” comes from an accurate view of oneself. You are the person you are because of the salvation of God upon you, the influence of the Holy Spirit, the change of your very nature. That is nothing for you to take pride in. You would be no different in thinking and desire from the lost if not for those things!
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(Eph 4:1) “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,” I love the word used here to describe the “calling” – “vocation”. We think of a vocation of some job we do. We do have a job to do for the Lord. It is to live for His glory publicly, proclaiming the goodness, mercy, and salvation of God through His Son Jesus Christ! Do you see this as a “vocation”, a calling?
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(Eph 4:1) “ I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,” The word, “vocation” there is an interesting word. It means “invitation”. So, it could read, “walk worthy of the invitation wherewith ye are called.” The invitation to be saved and thus live for His glory came through the suffering and then resurrection of His Son. To walk “worthy” of that is some walk! It means sacrifice of self, giving of ourselves to others, and supreme love for He Who saved us!
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(Eph 3:21) Unto Him (God the Father) be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” Amen does not only speak of agreement with what is taught or preached, It speaks of “gladness of the very thought of it”!Oh how sad that so many rob themselves of hearing such words by putting self before God on Sundays! Pastors and teachers are proclaiming this day such precious words that should thrill the soul of the genuine believer! May it be so with you today that you can be found in the House of God!!
REV JERRY HOLCOMB SINGS: “Only One Life”
THIRSTING SOULS BIBLE SERMONS: “There is No Limit to God’s Mercy”
The Bible always gives us an honest narrative of historical events. Not only are the successes of individuals accurately portrayed before our eyes, but also their failures. No one ever deserved mercy. Mercy is given to the guilty. Today’s sermon brings glory to the God of mercy.
DAILY DROP OF WATER
(Eph 3:21) Unto Him (God the Father) be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” If you are one that confesses before others that you are saved, yet are not actively a part of a church, then you are sinning against God. Jesus said He would built His church. The epistles speak of growing spiritually by the ministry of those in the church. It is the plan of God for this age. Throughout eternity the souls reached and ministered unto shall speak to His glory! Repent, find a good Bible believing Baptist Church, and put Jesus first by being faithful!
