holy and dearly loved, clothe
yourselves with compassion,
kindness, humility, gentleness

(Colossians 3.12).

All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe
yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you
may have against one another.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
And over all these virtues put on love which
binds them all together in perfect unity.
(Colossians 3.12-14).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
EAGER FOR HAPPINESS
Be eager and strive
earnestly to guard
and keep the harmony
and oneness of (and
produced by)
the Spirit in the binding
power of peace.
(Ephesians 4. 3)
POINTS FOR REFLECTION
AND MEDITATION
1) The pursuit of peace
is only possible by the
attitude of humility,
gentleness, forgiveness
and kindness which
characterizes Jesus. His
character traits allow
us to pursue peace
successfully. These character
traits are acquired by being
filled with the Holy Spirit.
2) When we are intentional
and intense in the pursuit
of harmony and oneness
with the binding and
uniting power of the
Holy Spirit we are
able to make progress
in achieving peace.
3) If you are eager for happiness
this is the key to lasting happiness.
PRAISE THE LORD JESUS
FOR HIS MOST PHENOMENAL GIFT!
HAPPY LIVING
Living as becomes you
with complete lowliness
of mind (humility) and
meekness (unselfishness,
gentleness, mildness),
with patience, bearing
with one another and
making allowances because
you love one another.
POINTS FOR MEDITATION
AND PRAISE
1) What characterizes Jesus Christ’s
attitude towards humanity? His
character traits, attitude and behavior
are our example.
2) Happiness is doing what brings
everlasting rewards.
Happy living requires following the
example set by Jesus Christ, the
Captain of our salvation.
3) Let this same attitude and purpose
and humble mind be in you which was
in Christ Jesus: ( Let Him be your example
in humility:)
Who, although being essentially one with
God (possessing the fullness of the attributes
of God), did not think this equality with God
was something to be eagerly grasped or
retained,
But stripped Himself (of all privileges and
rightful dignity) so as to assume the guise
of a servant, in that He became a man.
And after He had appeared in human form,
He abased and humbled Himself (still further)
and carried out His obedience to the extreme
of death, even the death of the cross!
Therefore (because He stooped so low) God
has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed
on Him the name that is above every name,
That at the name of Jesus every knee must bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
And every tongue openly confess and acknowledge
that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
(Philippians 2 .5-11).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!
