True Vine Communion Ministries for All Nations [TVC] and Seer Abraham Richard introduces to you: The My Community Gospel news! In this, we are painting for you the True picture of the Love Gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ as He commands us, His Disciples in the Gospel of St John chapter 13 verses 34 to 35: A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.
This means that we have a continuing debt of loving one another. In loving our neighbours, we fulfil the law [Romans 13:8-10], in short, we strive to be perfect just as our Master Christ Jesus is [Matthew 5:48].
We observe in the Holy Scriptures that Christ Jesus our Master whom we must imitate today, painted the right picture in His Mission through teachings and prayers for the sick [St. Luke 4:38-40], and encouragement for the broken-hearted and fed the hungry even when there was hardly anything in the pocket. Check the gospel of St Luke Chapter 9 verse 13: But Jesus said, “You feed them. Impossible!” they protested. “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish. Or are you expecting us to go and buy enough food for this whole crowd?”
Vs16: Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and asked God’s blessing on the food. Breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread and fish to the disciples to give to the people.
[New Living Translation Bible]
We can clearly see Jesus’ Mission! Which is changing a Life, Changing a Community and Changing a Nation.
In the book of Acts of the Apostles Chapter 4 verses 32 to 37, we are seeing believers share their possessions and no one was needy among them. Men sold their fields and lands to take care of those in need. This means that the character of caring for the Community still goes on with TVCMINISTRIES For All Nations.
A GOOD CHRISTIAN MUST BE A GOOD CITIZEN!
The Servant of God, Abraham Richard teaches! A good Christian is a good citizen and is concerned about every matter in his community. God would love to work with men who are responsible about their communities. He,[God], will always talk to you and guide you in matters that you are concerned about as a leader, spiritual leader, and citizen.
Therefore, try as much as possible to be concerned about people near and around you so that God can involve you in His plans of development in your area.
It’s not all about money, but even your quality time! Praying for their well-being, spiritual awareness of the leaders, children, women and men plus the youths. We are seeing Daniel praying for God’s mercy and forgiveness for the Israelite’s who were in exile in Babylon for their release in Daniel Chapter 9:8, Reads: O’ LORD, we and our kings, princes, and ancestors are covered with shame because we have sinned against you. [NLTB].
The LORD through Prophet Jeremiah guided the exiles in Babylon on how they should live there This He said, Jeremiah Chapter 29:7: Pray to the LORD for that city where you are held captive, for if Babylon has peace, so will you.”. [NLTB]. God told the Prophet because he was concerned about the people and troubled by their way of living.
The more we shy away from the issues in our community, is the more God will not involve us in any matter of our community. For God is looking for men to work with!
YOUR COMMUNITY IS YOUR HOME!
A good man reports good about his home, community and Nation. As we are good prayer people, we should also be good reporters to God about the bad we see happening in our Communities.
Let’s talk well of our community to the outside world and not to paint it black because your community is your home! When you promote the good in your community, many will be drawn to come to you, and as they come, they bring treasures with them which are going to prosper you. Take the example of Queen of Sheba, when she heard about the fame that King Solomon had, she travelled all the way from Ethiopia with treasures to the king and the Kingdom, this increased the prosperity of Israel. 1 Kings Chapter 10:1: When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon’s reputation, which brought honor to the name of the LORD, she came to test him with hard questions.
Vs2: She arrived in Jerusalem with a large group of attendants and a great caravan of camels loaded with spices, huge quantities of gold, and precious jewels. When she met with Solomon, they talked about everything she had on her mind.[NLTB]
You should promote the good the Lord has done not the bad in your community for others to admire. Draw men to good not evil.
Whatever good you do for your community, you are doing it for your well-being. In one of his all-time teachings, Prophet Abraham Richard noted that, Loving and taking care your neighbour is preventing crime! When your neighbour is hungry and you have food stored in your store, they will be forced to come for it. Meaning, you cannot have peace of heart because you’re afraid and worried of thugs.
I should ensure to seek the peace of my community by taking care of those in need in my community to prevent crime so as to live in harmony.
The state of your community is the state of your home and the state of your life!
OUR MISSION:
As True Vine Communion Ministries For All Nations, it’s our mission to take care of our community for we believe; changing a life is changing a community and changing a Nation. The Prophet of God Abraham Richard Bisaso has always taught, to love and care for our neighbour. Your neighbour is anyone who is in need around you! He may not be of your same faith, colour or tribe. It is your duty to find out how your neighbour is doing in order to know how best you can be of help to him.
We have seen TVC Ministries praying for the sick community and setting them free in the Name of Christ Jesus, feeding the needy, providing scholastic materials to the pupils, repairing of our roads, reconciling members in the community and promoting talents among the youth.
Just as the Prophet says, “It’s the duty of a mature Christian to take care of his community!” See with me also in the Gospel of St. Luke 7:4-5 concerning the centurion: The men who went to Jesus pleaded with Him saying, “This man deserves to have you do this, because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”
So in this – My Community Gospel News, we are painting for you a picture from TVC Ministries For All Nations, the gospel of love from our LORD Jesus Christ.
OBJECTIVE OF MY COMMUNITY GOSPEL NEWS?
To show you what the Kingdom of God expects you do. Christ Jesus expects you to love your neighbour as you love yourself Matthew 22:39. In this Gospel of Love and care for your neighbour, we do not do it to be paid or seen by people, we do it for God; who searches the intents of our hearts and rewards us accordingly. Meaning, whatever we do for a neighbour, we do it unto God! Read Matthew chapter 25 verses 31 to 46.
