BE PERFECTLY JOINED TOGETHER

For it has been declared  to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are quarrels among you.

Now I say this, that each of you says, ‘I am from Paul,” or ” I am of Apollos, ” ” I am from Cephas, ” or ” I am of Christ.”

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my Own name.

Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether if I baptized any other.

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with the wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:11-17

WALKING IN THE ANOINTING

IMG_20131211_183753The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek;

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty (free from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority) to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He might be glorified.

And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.

And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

But you shall be Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall you boast yourselves.

For your shame you shall have double; and for confusion they rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.

For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offerings; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting Covenant with them.

And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD has blessed.

ISAIAH 61: 1-9
