Hospitality,
is an instruction from God.
Hospitality is disappearing from our modern society. When we hear
that somebody wants to visit us, we first think about the time,
effort and expense it will require. True hospitality means to open
your heart to the visitors and make them feel truly welcome. Being
a warmhearted and generous host was highly valued in the times
past. These days it is so different, we are afraid to talk to
strangers, visitors, immigrants and anyone who looks different
then us. This kind of attitude is also in our churches and then we
complain about the membership. The new Testament shows that the
first Christians placed high value on hospitality, even it is one
of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The warmth of the early Christian
Fellowship was one of the reasons that the new faith spread so
rapidly. A kind word, a smile, and a handshake can do wonders to a
stranger.
Jesus said,
“When
you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your
brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also
invite you back, and you be repaid. But when you give a feast,
invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind. And you
will be blessed, because they can not repay you; for you shall be
repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
Luke 14: 12-14 Let love be
without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be
kind affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor
giving preference to one another, Praising God
and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the
church daily those who were being saved.
Acts 2: 47
Jesus said, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to Me.” Matthew 25: 40 THOUGHT FOR

Thanks Weekly devotion for the week of August 04, 2008 SOUTH ASIAN OUTREACH MINISTRY OF THE PRESBYTERY OF TROPICAL FLORIDA When we have relationship with a person, we like to have fellowship with that person. Fellowship is a richer word than relationship because fellowship involves deep sharing, intimacy, a common purpose and a joy in one another’s company. The Bible says that Almighty God desires fellowship with what he has created. Each individual human being is called to fellowship with the One who made us all. When we have fellowship with God we enjoy talking to him in prayer, reading His Word and singing his praises. By having fellowship with Him we know that God dwells among us. I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall be my people. Leviticus 26: 12 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call his name “Emmanuel” which means God with us.” Matthew 1: 23 Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Jesus said “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without me you can do nothing. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” John 15: 4, 5, 10, 12 THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
