TOPIC: FELLOWSHIP – THE MISSION LINK (TREM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 21ST APRIL 2019)
“So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” Romans 12:5 (KJV)

The Church of today has become so caught up in the jet-age syndrome that we have introduced it to every area of our lives. We are fast neglecting one of the key reasons for gathering together in a particular location for worship, which is fellowship. We have reduced fellowship to greeting some known faces after service and at best, knowing the name of the brother or sister in the same group.

Topic: Jesus Tried Her Faith [Andrew Wommack Devotional 21 May 2019]

Matthew 15:27, ‘But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it unto the dogs.’

Matthew 15:21-39; Mark 7:24-37; 8:1-10

It is very clear in scripture that Jesus was sent to fulfill God’s covenant to the Jews. However, it was equally clear that Jesus would open up faith unto the Gentiles. Jesus certainly knew this, and had already ministered to numerous Gentiles without the apparent disdain that we see here with the Syro-Phoenician woman. Jesus could not have been forced into ministering to this woman’s daughter if it was not His will to do so. Therefore, His silence and rough answer to this woman must have been designed to accomplish a positive result.

When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan; then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you…and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it. – Numbers 33:51-53

God has given you a promised land. It’s a place flowing with milk and honey, where your every need can be met. A place where you can keep sin underfoot as you rule and reign with Christ. A place where no weapon formed against you will prosper. A place where you are seated with Christ in heavenly places, far above principalities and powers—far from oppression.

Memorise: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”- Matthew 24:35

Read: Matthew 5:17-20 (KJV)

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
