Iron Sharpens Iron

Relevant Bible Verses

1) Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

2) 1 Corinthians 14:26 What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church.

3) Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

4) Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

The above verses emphasize the basic principle for Christians to build up one another, not only for ourselves. Hence we must consider others when we meet up, be it in cell meeting, church service, over a cup of tea, etc. It is not how much we say that matters, but whether or not what we say builds up others. Be sensitive to one another and your speaking must be for the benefit of the meeting.

Always seek the building up of others. Remember "Let all things be done for building up."

So, let everybody come to the meeting with a goal in mind,

I AM THERE FOR ONE ANOTHER, NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF.
