CHRIST IS ABOVE ALL

Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Word of God, is above all, being the only one who came from Heaven, living as the Son of Man, to reveal God's Love, and ascended into Heaven as the Son of God, glorified by the Father (John 1:14 & 3:13). He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, unlike every other man who has been made from the dust, so that He might serve as, "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the World" (Luke 1:34-35, John 1:29 & 8:23, 1 Cor. 15:47-49).

Therefore, God has also highly exalted Him, and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the mention of Jesus' name, every kneel should bow, confessing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, even as "He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places," to rule over all principalities, power, might, and dominion, for eternity (Phil. 2:9-11, Matt. 28:18, Eph. 1:20-21). With this, we should never relent in being submissive to the LORD in Christ Jesus, by aiming to gain more souls, while we worship Him in truth and in Spirit, so that we may remain fruitful in God's Kingdom and deserving of His loving embrace on the Last Day.

PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, Jesus Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith; I give You all the glory, honor, power, and majesty, for only You deserve all praise.

Blessed be Your Holy Name, forever and ever,

Amen!

From John 3:31

FULFILLED JOY

The joy of every faithful and true Minister of the Good News is fulfilled as they continuously see all whom they're discipling moving closer to the LORD, in full submission to the arrival of Jesus Christ - the Bridegroom, whom they proclaim God sent into the world. It's also our Calling in Christ to seek lost souls to disciple, who are willing to put Jesus first, enticing them to be made presentable, as chaste and wise Virgins, to the one who paid for the redemption of all mankind to be made available (Matthew 25:1-4 & 28:19-20, 2 Cor. 11:2).

This is necessary, that we may continue to serve as vessels of His Divine will; advancing His Kingdom, which will never cease to exist, yet abides forever - so, "today, if you hear His voice, don't harden your hearts," for His Faithfuls have been granted a reason for eternal Joy, prevailing Justice, and Peace, hallelujah (Psalm 95:6-9)! Accordingly, we shouldn't relent in listening for His return, being committed to our Christ's calling, and we will remain deserving of the welcoming embrace of Jesus Christ, the Bridegroom, on the Last Day (Isaiah 9:7).

PRAYER: Thank you, LORD Jesus Christ, for calling me Friend, and choosing me to advance Your Kingdom, while I continuously disciple souls for Your glory, asking that all may humbly come to be graciously deserving of Your welcoming embrace, as Stewards and the true Bride-to-be, making much of Your Holy Name,

Amen.

From John 3:29-30

SENT BEFORE CHRIST

Ministering in Jesus' name doesn't make anyone the Messiah, for no one can ever take the place of Christ; rather, we are only vessels chosen to reveal God's Love, as we follow the Way lived out by His Son. Even then, as faithful Ministers proclaiming the Good News of Salvation, we are called to make a straight route for His second coming, just as John the Baptist prepared the way for His arrival in the flesh (Malachi 3:1, Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 1:2, John 1:20, 23 & 27).

Therefore, we must not look upon any Minister as the Messiah; rather, we should understand that each part of the body is equally commissioned to declare the Gospel of Truth for Salvation so that, as a Bride is adorned for the Bridegroom, each heart may be prepared for His second coming. The calling of a true Minister requires his commitment to advancing God's Kingdom, and willingness to reach out to more hurting humans who are poor in the Spirit, encouraging them to change their mindsets to receive Jesus Christ as the one and only Redeemer of lives, that people we love may be well preserved for eternity in the Kingdom of Heaven.

PRAYER: In Jesus' gracious name, thank You, LORD, for making me useful in Your Vineyard, to get people prepared for Your second coming. Please, send more laborers for Harvest and strengthen me so that I may continue to disciple more souls, even as I remain preserved with enough of Your Spirit to reach eternity in Your Heavenly Kingdom,

Amen.

From John 3:28

GIVEN FROM HEAVEN

All that we are, own, or possess through inheritance naturally, the painful labor of our hands, or bearing as gifts, are from Heaven, given by the LORD, Himself, for our good and His glory. Lest we come to nothing by going on in mortal sin, disappointing God's desire for His Children, we need not be boastful of ourselves or our achievements, as His humble and faithful servants, Divinely favored to help others, while giving Him all the glory (2 Peter 3:9, 1 Cor. 4:7).

Furthermore, as we receive from our Heavenly Father, both spiritually and physically, we shouldn't resist others, but help with their needs, "as good Stewards of the manifold grace of God," doing everything "with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever, amen" (1 Peter 4:10-11).

PRAYER: Thank You, Heavenly Father, in the most humble King Jesus' name, for Divine Grace to eat of the Tree of Life and Your blessings in my life, which keep me sustained and highly favored to reveal Your Love, sharing it from the abundance of all I receive from You, for without you I have nothing, including this Ministry. Please, never give me enough wealth that I question Who You Are, yet continue to provide for our finances, and the needs of the Church being built together in You,

Amen (Proverbs 30:5-9)

From John 3:27

HONEST IN THE LIGHT

We, the Righteous in Jesus, have come to abide in the pure Light. The Truth revealed in Christ, keeps us in right standing with God by faith, while He who lives in us, makes even branches which have been grafted in, fruitful in His Vineyard (John 15:4-5). This is made possible through God's Grace in our lives, which makes each of our efforts productive in advancing God's Kingdom, by the Holy Spirit dwelling with us (1 Cor. 15:10).

Our integrity is shown by the Light shining through us, revealing loving deeds clearly to all, so that the world may know who God is, testifying that we are consistently empowered as Christians to walk openly on the Highway of Holiness (Mat. 5:14-16, Isa. 35:8). So, let's keep on living honestly, which reveals God's Light in us, and by Grace, we will always live to advance the Kingdom of the one called Faithful and True - bearing fruit that remains, for His Glory.

PRAYER: In Jesus' glorious name, thank You, Heavenly Father, for Your Light leading me, which gracefully reveals the Truth that I have no power of my own; yet, I am strengthened to live for Christ! May I glorify Your Name, while I keep practicing that which is only possible with You in authority,

Truly.

From John 3:21

THE LIGHT EXPOSES ALL

The Light of God, Jesus Christ, exposes the true nature of every man; for no matter how well an evil deed is being kept secret from others, the Truth always prevails, in due time, taking away every form of darkness and deceptive force positioned against that which is right before the LORD. As a result of his wandering away from the path of righteousness in Christ Jesus, walking contrary to the will of God, one may feel intimidated by the Truth, exposed in God's Light, and react hatefully; yet, when he meets Love and returns in repentance, He will be forgiven and healed by the LORD, our Merciful and Ever-Loving Father who never forsakes those who are humble to pray and seek Him (2 Chronicles 7:14, Job 24:13).

However, Children of Light "have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them," through Divine discernment and Christ's manifestation which subdues every power of the wicked coming against His Faithfuls (Ephesians 5:11-13). Even when, for merely shining in a dark world, we are hated, Jesus shared fellowship by going ahead and allowing Himself to be murdered for an excellent cause (John 15:18-19). So, we should always abide by the Truth - walking in the Light of God, which reveals our right standing with Him, as ambassadors of Christ, and every one of our endeavors will clear the way to bear more fruit that remains, for God's Kingdom.

PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, our Gracious Father, for the example of Your Holy Son, keeping me humble to abide in the Light of Your Word, who has redeemed me from darkness so that I may remain a vessel of Your glorious work - revealing the Truth of the Gospel for the Salvation of souls in Christ Jesus,

Amen!

From John 3:20

THE LIGHT HAS COME

The presence of Jesus Christ, God's Word, is a Lamp everywhere we go, and a Light to our preordained path, which sustains us on Earth, with the grace to overcome every form of darkness in and around us as chosen vessels of the Light Who arrives right on time (Psalm 119:105, John 1:9). Jesus Christ, being the Light of God, gives life to all who believe in Him, even as He dwells in us - who once had not received mercy - being made beautiful vessels of His glory, subduing every power of darkness on Earth (John 1:4).

Moreover, the rejection of the True Light, Jesus Christ, creates a barrier to one's Divine Salvation, as a result of his unbelief; yet, full submission - in repentance from loveless, dead works - through trusting in Him, keeps us richly graced and protected with eternal Peace, which reveals our total freedom from sin, shame, and separation, as well as the kindness of God in giving His Son to raise up His masterpiece (John 1:10-11, Eph. 2:4-10). So, let's keep on testifying of His glorious presence in our lives to all watching, showing God's Love to each other, which attracts souls seeking His redeeming Grace, so that they may be drawn to the True Light, exchanging mourning for festive oil of gladness, and the Kingdom of God will continue advancing, in His Glory and Majesty (Isa. 61:3).

PRAYER: Thank You, Heavenly Father and Glorious LORD, for making me a vessel of Your Light, through Christ who lives in me, that I may never be condemned for my past dead works, but may I bring those Your Spirit jealously yearns for, to Your presence in Love, who would come out of darkness, yielding to the morning light, for the Salvation of their souls in Christ Jesus,

Amen.
