CONFESSING JESUS CHRIST

We should be proud of our Calling as Christians and not be ashamed or afraid of confessing before others, Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, for He is the Blessed-Redeemer of all mankind, and all power and authority in Heaven and on Earth belongs to Him. We fear the Son having to disown us. Besides, it's not always enough to simply confess verbally with our mouths, for our actions of Love, speak louder than voice.

Therefore, at every opportunity given, we need to confess Jesus Christ through our character. This is specifically to please the Father, with Faith in the Son, by living as the one sent, Christ; self-sacrificing, we love that others may see and and feel the love of God, revealed by Christ who likewise lives in us, through the Holy Spirit; the hope of glory and eternal security in God's Kingdom. By being His Bride confessing Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, He will be pleased to declare us as accepted before God and the Angels, through the Holy Spirit, who bears witness that we are brethren with Him.

PRAYER: Thank you LORD, Jesus Christ, for we confess that you are our personal Savior and God; in you we trust, and by your Grace, we have the blessed assurance of eternity with the saints, in Jesus' name;

Amen!

From Luke 12:8-9

VALUED GREATLY

As we continue to worship and serve the LORD faithfully, in truth and in Spirit, forsaking the lust of the flesh to live in the righteousness of Christ, we will remain precious in His eyes, as highly valued vessels of His glorious works, Commissioned to declare the Good News of Salvation to all. So, we need not fear, worry, nor be disturbed while doing God's will, like the silently sacrificed Lamb; peacefully, we keep advancing His Kingdom, even as we continue to declare the Truth, with love of God, and lovingly to all, who are counted worthy in Christ Jesus.

Though trials may come, and temptation may seem overwhelming, yet as we continue to hold fast to our faith in the LORD's Salvation, we will always remain numbered as people protected in His grace and glory; as Overcomers in Christ Jesus, we are each sustained and Strengthened by the Holy Spirit, to subdue every effort of wickedness against our Christ's Calling and purpose for our lives, as God's unique children.

PRAYER: Thank you LORD for your assuring Grace and sustaining Love, which keeps us preserved and protected, for your glory in Christ Jesus;

Amen. 

From Luke 12:6-7

FEAR GOD ONLY

Being born-again Children of God, Ministers, and vessels of God's glorious works, assigned to bear fruits for God's Kingdom, and commissioned to proclaim the Gospel of Salvation in Christ Jesus to all who are headed into the pit, we need not be afraid of any who stands against our Calling and Great Commission, seeking to take our lives. Yet, we need to acknowledge He who is in us, is far greater than anything controlling them. This way, we may remain courageous as Overcomers, fearing God alone, who owns the power to restore, refresh, and destroy both the body and soul. 

Also, "the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom," yet the fear of oppressors and accusers of the Brethren, diminishes one's faith, glory and dignity, while our faith in Christ Jesus, brings us closer to the Father, through the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

Moreover, all who fear the LORD, have faith in Christ Jesus; for our faith in Christ Jesus, draws us closer to the Father, through the Holy Spirit who walks with us as the Comforter, whom our spirit communes with, to remain awestruck in His Divine presence.

PRAYER: LORD, Jesus Christ, thank you for always being there for us, for your Word gives us courage to stand out as Overcomers, having no fear of death. So, we will remain, seeking to live in your strength, for your glory in the face of Christ Jesus;

Amen.

From Luke 12:4-5

GOD REVEALS THE TRUTH

Each secret deed of everyman is uncovered by YHWH, for He is the Omniscient God, who knows thoughts and sees the motivation behind every single act, keeping account of them for the day of judgement. With this, we are rest-assured that the LORD is watching over us, keeping records of our open and secret utterances.

So, we mustn't relent in our faithfulness to the LORD, being in communion with the Holy Spirit at all times, that we may continue to live in the righteousness of Christ, to fulfill the Father's will, by advancing His Kingdom as true ambassadors of Christ.

PRAYER: Thank you Heavenly Father, for you see and know the thoughts of our hearts. Please let the words of our mouths, and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, our strength and our Redeemer.

From Luke 12:2-3

HYPOCRITICAL DOCTRINE

Be watchful and avoid accepting doctrines that are against the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Word of God, which are mostly hypocritical in nature. These false teachings and unnecessary doctrines are basically instituted for ceremonial worship, mostly influenced by one's self-centered and selfish desires to make oneself appear justified before other people, through upholding their pretentious acts of religiousity temporarily, yet inwardly, the opposite of what is being claimed, is stored; false self-righteousness as dirt, and they become defiled from within their hearts, giving no room for the Holy Spirit to dwell in them.

So, let's endeavor to always allow the Word of God to be our guide, even as we live the life of Christ, in order to fulfill the Father's will and the purpose of our Divine Calling; to advance His Kingdom, bearing fruits for His glory, as Heirs of the Father, who rewards what is done in secret.

PRAYER: Thank you LORD, Jesus Christ, for you are The Way, The Truth, and The Life, and no one comes to the Father, except through you; for as we abide by your Word, and you in us, we're rest assured that we will never be deceived into accepting false teachings, in Jesus' name;

Amen.

From Luke 12:1

DISCERNING DIVINE KNOWLEDGE

The establishment of unnecessary and deceptive doctrines comes as a result of the self-seeking intentions involved in the works influenced by the devil; such false teachers, antichrists, and Ministers, who are blinded with arrogant desires to attain greater fame and undeserving honor, as a result of accommodating their lust, and pride, have allowed hearts of fat flesh to treasure things which are far from the Heavenly Kingdom. Those who are not in line with God's commandments, and the teachings of Christ, summarized as love of God and to mankind, hinder many, who ignorantly accept them, but become barred from the true knowledge of God's Kingdom, and Salvation by faith, only in Christ Jesus. There is no other Way to enter into Life everlasting, although we can agree that many paths may divert ones attention off from the Highway of Holiness; information of the head hinders Wisdom, which always was with YHWH, slaying the strays who see selfishly.

Worshipping the LORD in The Spirit and Truth, will keep us closer with Our Comforter, than followers of fantastical knowledge, who are more concerned with being ceremonially correct in their worship, which is not required of us as pure vessels of God, than communing spiritually, as those Called to declare and advance His Kingdom.

As Christians therefore, we need to be watchful, not only to enter by the narrow door Yeshua, who holds the keys, but also, by rejecting that which is against the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Word of God, we release people who we once fellowshipped with, who reject Truth, yet lie to us as themselves, that we may not be deceived, yet remain in rightstanding with God, for the Salvation of our souls, and building up of His Church.

PRAYER: Thank you LORD, for the Salvation found in Christ Jesus, freely given to us for the redemption of our souls, that we may truly live for your glory, rebuking every false teaching coming from the pit of hell, in Jesus' name,

Amen.

From Luke 11:52

DOING GOD'S WILL

To please the LORD by faithfully doing His will, requires facing the cross of His Son, self-sacrifice and our fullest affection, for it's never enough to just pay your tithes and give bountiful offerings, even of your physical body to God, because He is not a man who desires material things for His pleasure; rather, He wants us to remain just in character, by walking in the righteousness of Christ, keeping His statutes, love expressed compassionately together with all we come across in our lives, even as we bring forth our first ten percent, secretly before His presence. Although, our tithes and offerings may be necessary for the physical and material needs of the Church, without being just to orphans and strangers in disputes, and loving all as God first loved us, one is still spiritually far away, because Christianity is founded on Agape Love, demonstrated through self-sacrifice, and by living justified, in the righteousness of Christ our Lord, who took on sin.

So, we need not to neglect one type of giving for the other, that we may continue to live a life wholly pleasing to the LORD, worthy of His grace and mercy, as Sons and Daughters of God.

PRAYER: In Jesus Christ, LORD we thank you for Your Word which keeps us refreshed through the Divine Wisdom of the Holy Spirit, to live for your glory, even as we faithfully abide by it, leaving nothing undone as vessels of your Divine will, in Jesus' name;

Amen!

From Luke 11:42l
