Mattthew 18:15

Matthew 18:15 - Moreover, if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.

: This verse talks about how if our brother sins against us or says something untrue about us, we should confront them about it and tell them what they did was wrong, if our brother in the Lord hears us and confesses that what he said was wrong, we should forgive that person so that all will be well between you and your brother. But if we talk to them about what said or did, yet they won"t confess  and they keep on doing it, thats when we should get a elder or someone who  is put in authority over us, and confront our brother with that person as a witness. Here in Ignite, the rule is, if a brother does us wrong, we should have a R.A ( room assistant) or another one of our Team mates our the pastor with us so that they could be a witness of what we are exactly saying to our brother or sister. This is a very good rule that we should live by during that certain frustrating time, nevertheless we should also talk to God about it and pray for that person as well.

APPLICATION: For now on, if my brother or sister ever does me any wrong, I'm going to go straight to one of the authorities and tell them about it; I also will pray to my Father in Heaven for that person, and leave that person in the Lord hands.

Luke 21 ;19

Luke 21:19 - By your patience, possess your souls. : Here Jesus is talking about patience. " By patience, possess your souls." Patience is key in a believers walk with our heavenly Father. If we are patient, and wait on Him, He will certainly back us up in our spiritual walk with Him, especially in our troubling  times. Our God is a just God, a awesome God who delights in the patience of His children. If we are not patient and don't wait on God, this will grieve our Father immensily . Being patient in tough circumstances is beneficial to the christians way of life. we must always remember that , our Father has our back , no matter how hard the day may be or how loud the spiritual warfare in our heads may get. APPLICATION : Tomorrow, I will be patient if spiritual warfare or conflict comes my way. i will give all my frustrations and worries to my Father in Heaven and will always keep in mind that in tough trials, He has my back, if only I cry out to Him.

Ephesians 6:1 / Colossians 3:20

Ephesians 6:1- Children, Obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Colossians 3:20 - Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. : These two books contain two verses with the same exact rule that all children(and teens) should know. Both tell us to honor our mom and dad. This rule is not only mentioned in these texts, but also is one of Gods Ten Commandments that is therefore found in the book of Exodus. Exodus 20:12 says: " Honor your father and mother, that yours days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you." What do these texts mean by honoring our parents? It simply tells us that honoring our mom and dad here on earth, pleases the Lord. The Lord smiles when we obey the parents that He placed in our lives. Obedience towards parents is the most beautiful thing under the sun. If we obey our parents, we also in the long run are obeying God as well. Now, let's think about this. Is it better t

Faith

Hebrews 11:1- Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things unseen : In this verse .it talks about how faith is the substance of things hoped for . Jesus said "If we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountains." This is very true !!  if we believe in the Lord our God , whom is very much real but yet unseen , and if we put all our faith in Him, He can help us in the thick and thin of our every day life . Believe it or not, I learned that during my childhood. I had a childhood experience that I will never forget. I know this may sound very far fetched, but, it is the truth that I know most people who have had the same incident happen, would definitley believe. I must have been 7 years of age at the time when this took place . It was a week after my 7th birthday that me and my friend were playing with a flying disc, or as it is called ,frisby at the time in the backyard and were laughing and carrying on like children do, when my frien
