PRAYERPRAYER

Walking In Harmony

( 20 ) All people that on earth do dwell,Sing to the Lordwith cheerful voice.Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell;Come ye before Himand rejoice.

The Lord, ye know,is God indeed;Without our aid He did us make;We are His folk, He doth us feed,And for His sheep He doth us take.

O enter then His gates with praise;Approach with joy His courts unto;Praise, laud, and bless His Name always,For it is seemly so to do.

For why? the Lord our God is good;His mercy is for ever sure;His truth at all times firmly stood,And shall from age to age endure.

There’s not a Friend like our Saviour Jesus:  No, not one! no, not one!None else could heal all our souls’ diseases:  No, not one! no, not one!

Jesus knows all about our struggles;  He will guide ’til the day is done:There’s not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:    No, not one! no, not one!

  No friend like Him is so high and holy,  No, not one! no, not one!And yet no friend is so meek and lowly,  No, not one! no, not one!

Jesus knows all about our struggles;  He will guide ’til the day is done:There’s not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:    No, not one! no, not one!

There’s not an hour that He is not near us,  No, not one! no, not one!No night so dark, but His love can cheer us,  No, not one! no, not one!

Jesus knows all about our struggles;  He will guide ’til the day is done:There’s not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:    No, not one! no, not one!

Did ever saint find this Friend forsake him?  No, not one! no, not one!Or sinner find that He would not take him?  No, not one! no, not one!

Jesus knows all about our struggles;  He will guide ’til the day is done:There’s not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:    No, not one! no, not one!

Was e’er a gift like the Savior given?  No, not one! no, not one!Will He refuse us the bliss of heaven?  No, not one! no, not one!

Jesus knows all about our struggles;  He will guide ’til the day is done:There’s not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:    No, not one! no, not one!

Submit yourselves to God. Resist the

devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7 )

52God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;He came to love, heal and forgive;He lived and died to buy my pardon,An empty grave is there to prove my Saviour lives!

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,Because He lives, all fear is gone;Because I know He holds the future,And life is worth the living,Just because He lives!

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,And feel the pride and joy he gives;But greater still the calm assurance:This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,Because He lives, all fear is gone;Because I know He holds the future,And life is worth the living,Just because He lives!

And then one day, I'll cross the river,I'll fight life's final war with pain;And then, as death gives way to victory,I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,Because He lives, all fear is gone;Because I know He holds the future,And life is worth the living,Just because He lives!

Christ our LORD teaches us a lesson on relationships- 5:25-32Christ loves the Church and fully submitted to her needs

Christ redeemed the Church

Christ becomes our Head and one with us “We are members of His ..

The supreme head of the church is in total submission to the needs of his bodyGod had to be totally submissive to our needs and deny himself, that He might totally meet his immeasurable need to extend His love, mercy and justice so that the relationship could flourish and becomes one with us.

How Christ demonstrated Submission in His own Life to

His Church?

It is in this profound mystery that God in Christ becomes one with us. "We are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones." It is in this relationship that we are encouraged to submit to one another just as Christ our Lord and our God submitted His very being to us. Q: What do I do as Christian, when my boss, spouse, parent or child is not a Christian? (1 Peter 2:13,18,21 & 3:1-7)
