DIVIDED BECAUSE OF CHRIST

Having received Christ and living for Him as ambassadors of the Kingdom makes us unique as Sons of God. This confuses the kingdom of darkness; in retaliation they divide those around us, being weakened in the Spirit, with uncertainty concerning our identity in Christ (John 7:12). Sometimes our calling brings about denial or separation between loved ones because many are not ready to change and in their minds, those who are born again are deemed different, undeserving of their favor and support (Luke 12:52-53).

Being rejected by others shouldn't stop us from living to the fullest in God's service, for it's only a trial of our faith. Besides, the LORD is with us and no harm will befall us, for He is our strength and shield, being our very present help in times of need, protecting and delivering us from all evil so that we may live solely to the fulfillment of His Divine mandate on Earth (Psalms 28:7-8 & 46:1).

PRAYER: In Jesus' name, thank You, Heavenly Father, for keeping me safe from harm, captivity and every manipulation of the wicked, as I endlessly declare Your Salvation to the World. Please, continue to gracefully preserve me so that I may never fear men nor fall, yet remain vindicated as the Redeemed of the LORD,

Amen.

From John 7:43-44

THE PROPHET & KING'S SEED

The Divine knowledge of God's Word makes all who abide by it realize the truth that Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah, Prophet, and Seed, given by the LORD for the Redemption of mankind (2 Sam. 7:12, Gal. 3:16, Deut. 18:15 & 18). This builds our faith in the Savior of the World, even as we listen to the Good News proclaimed through His vessels while we faithful and true Christians know and experience His Love and presence in our lives (John 6:69). 

Being the promised Seed who defeated Satan, He is also the righteous King ordained by the LORD to rule over principalities and powers, sworn to subdue the kingdom of darkness for the Salvation of all who believe and receive Him (Gen. 3:15, Psa. 132:11, Jer. 23:5).

PRAYER: Thank You, Heavenly Father, for granting me the grace to keep on experiencing Your Love through Your Word by the Holy Spirit who lives in me; for in this I have a blessed assurance of Divine Salvation, overcoming doubts and fears as my faith is strengthened, in Jesus' mighty name,

Amen (1 John 5:13).

From John 7:40-42

SOURCE OF LIVING WATER

Receiving and being sustained by the Living Water can only be achieved by believing in Christ Jesus - acknowledging Him as our Lord and the Redeemer of our souls. Our Saviour is always ready and willing to grant everlasting life to everyone who thirsts, freely, without cost. Still, the one named Faithful and True seeks our fervent desire to live faithfully for Him - being the Fountain Of Life bringing forth the Living Water sustaining all who keep trusting Him (Isa. 55:1, Rev. 21:6-7 & 22:17).

Furthermore, the Living Water is the gift of the Holy Spirit which Christ Himself baptizes us with so that we, blessed and favored Children of God might be completely reborn in the Spirit, drawing joyfully from God's Well of Salvation to live forever; while on Earth we remain poured out for others to experience True Love, yet have our thirsty souls quenched and continuously revitalized, for His glory (Isa. 12:3).

PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, Jesus Christ, for I'm Divinely preserved by Your Grace, being filled with the Living Water which restores my soul and strengthens my spirit as I abide in Your Word; please use me according to your will, solely to glorify Your name,

Amen.

From John 7:37-38

VESSELS READY TO GO

Everyone ministering for God's Kingdom in Christ Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, is meant to live a fulfilled life in the short period of time assigned by the LORD. As we minister with all dedication and commitment in Truth and Spirit, overcoming every challenge that comes our way through Christ who lives in us, we will surely be received by the LORD our Heavenly Father and counted among the saints on the last day (Mark 16:19).

Since no man truly knows when the LORD will request the return of his spirit, we need to remain active as Ministers, ready to be at peace with the Father at all times, so that we may graciously be accepted by Him when He demands our presence (Luke 12:35).

PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, Heavenly Father, for giving me the grace to be found acceptable for Your glory, in this lifetime. Please, keep me motivated both physically and spiritually to live to the fulfillment of Your Divine mandate, on Earth as it is in Heaven, so I may be welcomed home in Christ Jesus, Your Son whom I follow, as a faithful and true servant,

Amen.

From John 7:33-34

CHRISTIAN FAITH IN ACTION

The determination to receive Christ and remain abiding in Him no matter the challenges and persecution, comes as a result of our unwavering faith in God's Word written in our hearts and affirmed through our mouths with great assurance, in the Spirit of our minds, that no one in Heaven or on Earth can be compared with Him (Matthew 12:23). Knowing this, we live for Christ, seeing His works made manifest in and through us, vessels of His awesome wonders, glorifying the LORD (John 14:10-12).

Furthermore, the actualization of our Christian faith brings forth breakthroughs and victory over the kingdom of darkness, which also grants peace to our souls, as the Body of Christ, having been gracefully favored and blessed with the abundance of His Love and Divine substance (Isaiah 35:5-6).

PRAYER: In Jesus' name, thank You LORD, for Your glorious and marvelous works in my life which strengthen my faith; as I testify of Your magnificence, souls are being transformed - submitting to Your Love which brings Salvation to them, forever,

Amen

From John 7:31

GETTING TO KNOW THE FATHER

We can only know the LORD, our Heavenly Father and Creator through Christ His Son, the revelation of His Word and Love to all (John 1:18). He originates from the LORD and knows Him well so we too may see the Father and walk with the Holy Spirit through Jesus (Matthew 11:27). By His Spirit, abiding in Christ, and He in us, the confidence comes to boldly say that we are growing to know God more each passing day, reflecting His glory and being transformed into His image with intensifying glory - even as it may appear foolish to others as He increases while our fleshly identity falls away (John 8:55 & 3:30). 

Although we've heard the Gospel of Salvation and received it by faith, being one with Christ and knowing the LORD still requires living in the Spirit to have more intimate knowledge of God's presence, which empowers us to leave other agendas behind and declare Him to the World, for the Salvation of souls (Matthew 11:44-46)

PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, Righteous Father, for helping me to know You better each day as I remain in communion with You in the Spirit. Please, guide me to those who lack the knowledge of Your Word and Divine presence, so that souls may be redeemed and mindsets transformed as I reach out, for Your glory in Christ Jesus,

Amen.

From John 7:28-29

ACCURATE DECISIONS STAND

As Royal Priests chosen by the LORD for His glory and the fulfillment of our Divine mandate on Earth, advancing His Kingdom, we are ordained by Christ for greater than it seems and empowered by the Holy Spirit to always judge honestly and without favoritism so that we may correctly receive the Father's Love and reveal Jesus to great and small (Deut. 1:16-17). This makes those who hunger and thirst for Righteousness wisest amongst men, having been filled with Divine Wisdom, exercising true justice declared by Christ who lives in us (Prov. 24:23, John 8:15-16).

Moreover, while exercising our faith in the LORD, the Church must not encourage more respect for some than others, based on appearance; rather, it stands with the Truth, God's Word and the sword of the Spirit, granting justice to the Righteous and pure in heart (James 2:1-13)

PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, for calling and choosing me as a priest ordained to judge by the Spirit and not the flesh, so I may proclaim Your Love with fairness. Please help me to use discernment and continue to keep my mind focused on Your Heavenly Kingdom where my treasures lie, so that I may not be influenced by fading appearances, yet declare Your Truth and rejoice in Your Righteousness, in Jesus' mighty name,

Amen.
