(‘’walk by the same rule,….same mind’’). He enjoins all believers to follow his ‘’…example and pattern…’’ Not all of us here in Amarata Church are friends of God, so many of us are enemies of the way they profess.

TEXT: GAL. 6:2-5 BY: BRO. MIKE AZEBI INTRODUCTION In the Old Testament the English word “burden” is translated from the Hebrew word “Massa”, which is used of a donkey’s burden (Exo. 23:5.) In a Number 4:15, it is used of the items the sons of KOHATH carried as they moved the terbanacle to place in the wilderness. Another kind of burden is described in Number 11: 11, 17, where Moses bearing the burden of the people and the Lord tells him to gather the seventy elders so that they will help you carry the burden of the people.
