Good morning Children of God
The Living Word of God - Disciples !
Are you a disciple of Jesus Christ__? Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples". The Bible tells us that God has a plan and purpose for each of our lives and a disciple of Christ knows and understands this ! God still desires disciples today, spiritual people, whom God can use for greater works for the Kingdom of God. The New Testament describes followers has disciples 282 times, believers 26 times and Christians only 3 times. The term 'Christian' was used to describe a follwer of Christ in terms of the world, from the world’s point of view. For it is written in 1 John 4:5,They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. As the scripture says, those who are of the world speak of the world, and use the words of the world. The pagans at Antioch called the apostles "Christians" first time in Acts 11:26, And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. If you don't belong to a certain kingdom (the world), you're labeled or named by that kingdom to be of another kingdom. We're servants (believers) of Jesus Christ belonging to the Kingdom of God only! We are not here by chance and we're not living with no purpose in mind, Amen ! God has a plan and purpose for each of us and it's for His Glory. For it is written in Luke 14:25-27, And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. Jesus was not advocating that in order to become disciples, we must actually hate people. The first principle of nature, to all humanity, God is always first before anyone and everything. How can anyone expect to fulfill the Great Commission spoken by Jesus Christ, to go into all the world and make disciples if they don't really know what a true disciple is? Understand this, it literally takes one to teach another one! Jesus is teaching and speaking to His chosen disciples. Stay with me, Jesus knew Judas would betray him, from the beginning. I (Jesus) chose Judas, for the plan of God. He spoke of the fulfilled purpose in (Matthew 26:20-21; Mark 14:17-18; Luke 22:21; John 13:18). It is written in John 6:70-71, Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve. After his resurrection, for it is written in Matthew 28:18-20, And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Also it is written in Mark 16:14-16, Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Only a true believer shall be saved through Jesus Christ. The Great Commission is the Gospel and the beginning of faith in action for all believers. This command from Jesus is significant because it's a personal instruction for believers to have a profound faith in Jesus Christ. The believers are instructed to teach others about Jesus Christ and the entirety of His truth. Heavenly Father, we seek your wisdom daily. Lord you have giving us instructions and directions to follow. You said, if any lack wisdom just ask of you. We come before thy with a open heart and a right spirit to edify you Lord. We seek unity in the body of Christ Jesus. For it is written in Ephesians 4:11-19, And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. Thank you Lord for your Living Word. Amen !

The Greater Philadelphia Celebrated Martin Luther King Day of Service Yesterday
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. quote: “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward."
Americans came together on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, Jan. 18, 2016, a day of national service and dialogue to honor the memory of Dr. King. Many people around the Bay Area spent Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day by volunteering helping one another or others. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve. For it is written in Mark 10:45, For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. How many of Jesus' disciples service others daily___ ? Read Matthew 25:35-40 !
