The word for today is - Sheep !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Sheep !

 

Lets read John 10:1-10,Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. There is only one way in through Jesus ( I AM THE WAY). So, the first question is this, are you a sheep or a goat? This is the word of God, read Matthew 25:31 it says that the Son of Man, as a shepherd, will separate the sheep from the goats.The separating of the sheep from the goats is a foretelling of the sheep that are Christ's followers and the goats that chose not to follow Christ. So,do you think that there is another way to God? There is not, you must follow Him.The real point of the message, is the difference of the behavior between the sheep and goats. The word says get understanding first, the sheep are Christ's followers and do whatever the shepherd tells them to do. But the goats are rebellious,self leading or being lead my the wolf ( Satan). Ask yourself, are you being lead by God or Satan? You see sheep are loving and giving people always helping others  just like Jesus, but goats are selfish and self -seeking people never willing to help someone, just like Satan very fools. Now lets read Matthew 25:31-43, When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Do you want to hear the Lord say, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Lets hear what Jesus has to say to us,now read John10 verse 11-18,I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. Wow, Jesus says, I AM the good shepherd, there is no one like me ! We must learn that the sheep knows who is the shepherd by his voice.How can you know the voice of God? By studying God's Word, and pray for understanding, He will help you to better understand Him and His will. You can never stop studying God's Word to get greater understanding, of who you are and who He is. Jesus said that he's going to come back. When he does, we shall all be brought before him to be judged. This judgment will lead to a separation between those who are his people and those who are not.Read Romans 1:16-17,For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Now thats how a sheep walks, for God, I live and for God, I die. Nothing and no one can change my heart, I am one of His disciples, I have deny myself to follow Him. Read Mark 8:34-35,And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.The goal toward which He is beginning to guide you is absolute perfection; and no power in the whole universe can stop it. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

 

 

The word for today is - Lie !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Lie !

 

Lets start with Numbers 23:19, God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? God is the only being who is incapable of lying. Everything that God said would happen has happened, just as He has said it would. Since God knows all things past, present, and future all things will workout for your good, its the word of God. God has never “gone back” on a promise or His word.  Paul, who said it so boldly in his letter to Titus that God cannot lie, read Titus 1:1-4, Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. Now get this, Jesus was always completely honest, even when telling a hard truth meant putting Himself in danger. Can you do that? The question is this ?are you honest with yourself, or are you living a lie?  We must be honest with ourselves, and with others. Humans often lie, why? Because, sometimes, people know the truth, but choose to relay false information to others, they are not comfortable with frankly telling people what they need to know the truth. Now lets read what Jesus said about liars. Read John 8:42-44, Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.  Get understanding first, God is the Father of truth,the devil is the father of lies.So, who is your Father, is it the one true living God or the Devil ? Read Deuteronomy 32:3-4,Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.We should be grateful because we serve a God who will not go back on His word. God will fulfill everyone of His promises for those who serve Him and believe in Him ! We serve a powerful God ,God is the God of truth and a loving God, an awesome God that we serve!  If you need anything go to your Heavenly Father an ask Him for it. His word says in Isaiah 46:10-11,

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. Thats powerful to me, I hold God to His word everyday in my prays and my daily walk, He can not lie. ( I always say, Father you said in your word......... and your word is truth)! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

 

The word for today is - Spiritually !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Spiritually !

 

 

 

The word says, Wake up !!! Read Ephesians 5:14,Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. This means your walking in the dark. Read Galatians 5:16-18,This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. The Lord says, walk by the Spirit of God. Lets read about Nicodemus.You see Nicodemus came to Jesus in the night, afraid of being seen,seeking the truth  read John 3:3,Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus was confused, why? Jesus explained that he was not talking about a physical new birth, but a spiritual rebirth. Read John 3:5-6,Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. The new birth is total transformation, why because from the beginning we are spiritually dead. Read Ephesians 2:1-3,And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. You must be born of the Spirit of God. You must be renewed by the spirit read 2 Corinthians 5:17,Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. The word of God tells us that God is a Spirit, read  John 4:24, God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Are you one of His disciples, then you should know the truth, read John 8:31-32,Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.You are free, if you are in Christ Jesus. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen!

 

 

 

The word for today is - Giving !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Giving !

 

Do you know that giving is a command? Read Deuteronomy 15:7-11,If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth. Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the Lord against thee, and it be sin unto thee. Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. Now get understanding read Proverbs 29:6-7, In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it. So, the wise man does the right thing he or she gives their best, but the wicked man thinks of himself or herself more then others.  Read Acts 20:35, I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. The word of God says, I the Lord has told you what to do. Are you listening to the word? The word says give from your heart. What is in your heart? According to the Bible, a person's heart reveals his true nature and motivation. Jesus pointed out when observing the widow woman's offering, the significance of the action was driven by her heart. Read Luke 21:1-4, And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had. She gave her best and her last, can you do that? Ask your self, would you give your last to help someone? Read 2 Corinthians 9:7, Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.So, are you a cheerful giver in, giving money, in giving help to others, in giving time to listen, in giving your last? Read Luke 12:34,For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Father forgive us for not being obedience to your word.Thank you for your word. Amen !

 

 

The word for today is - Journey !

The word for today is - Journey !

Do you not know that your set apart for a good work ? Your in this world but your not of this world, read John 17:15-18, I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. Your sent by God, your in a race, your on a daily journey. When your journey or assightment is done, then your work here of this world is over. Read John 18:36, Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from here. The kingdom is Spiritual, your of the kingdom of God. Read Romans 12:2, And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. You must be transform, by the renewing of your mind, think of the kingdom of God first. Read Romans 8:9,But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Our journey is about the kingdom of God, preach and teach about the kingdom. Read Ephesians 2:10, For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Now this is the key note, read Jeremiah 29:11,For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Do you understand that it is the plan of God for you to move forward. There is an assightment that is giving to only you, by God. Read 1 John 2:27,But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. Have you ever broken God's laws? Perhaps you think that you are a "good person" and that God should let you into heaven based on how good you are. Not, true ! If, we take an honest look at how guilty we truly are, we would be horrified. The Scriptures tell us that we must individually receive Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, then we can have our sins forgiven and experience eternal life, in the kingdom. Read John 1:12-13,But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the children of God, even to them that believe on his name: Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. The anointing is giving to you for a purpose, read Isaiah 61:1-3,The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. Get this, the Lord’s Favor is upon His children, He has anointed you to preach to the nations. So, go and do the will of the Lord.You have a mission, a command giving to you by God. Your journey is not done, helping someone or helping even one person to find or hear about (God) eternal life is of more value than anything else you could accomplish in this world. Your not done yet, your still here ! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The word for today is - Judging !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Judging !

 

Is it good to judge someone? Read Luke 6:37-38, Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. God requires forgiveness, else He will not forgive you. If we are unwilling or unable to forgive anyone, God will not forgive you. Read Mark 7:5-6, Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. That means your judging! Read Luke 6:26-29, Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.So, the word of God tells us to love your enemies, and pray for the people that use you. Pray for them, give it to Jesus, He will take care of everything. Peter asked Jesus a question about forgiveness, in Matthew chapter 18. He asked how many times should we forgive somebody. Jesus said, not 7 times but 77 times, the point is that forgiveness is to be a lifestyle. That is where the challenge comes in, it might be easy to forgive someone a couple of times, but how do you keep forgiving someone who then turns around and does the same thing to you time and time again? Now read Matthew 5:19, Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. The word is saying, if you are teaching something, you should be living it also. Amen ! We all need to pray and ask the Heavenly Father to forgive us all. Read Matthew 6:12, And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. First ask the Father to forgive you, and then forgive others. Just say, Father forgive us for the wrongs that we have done to others, as we forgive the wrongs others have done to us. Lets look at Mark 11:25,And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Thats how its done !!! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

 

The word for today is - Help !

Good morning,

The word for today is -  Help !

 

Read Philippians 1:5-7,For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. The grace of God, is with thy! If you need help, go to the word of God. If you believe in Him, He will protect you and help you. God's protection is what keeps us safe, it is not our own power or intelligence. God never ever goes to sleep, He is always watching and He is always right there! That does not mean that some bad thing are not going to happen in your life, because that is not true, many times God allows trials and tribulations to come into our lives to teach us a lesson to help us understand something and to bring us closer to Him. We need the protection of the Lord, why ? Because we do not have the power to do it ourself. Read 2 Thessalonians 3:1-3, Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. God's word is true ! God, thought of us before we were in our mothers wombs, you see your birth was not a mistake, God has a plan, because he has a purpose for your life. Life maybe difficult right now, you may be going thru a lot of things, but the Lord never said life was going to be easy, but he said it will work out for your good. What God wants for us is to keep a positive attittude and know that he will see us through.  No problem is permanent, God said He will never give us more than we can handle, or God will not put more on us than we can bear. Do you have faith? Faith in God must be from the heart. Read Romans 10:10, For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Do, we talk what we really believe, or do we act according to what we really believe? Why must we believe God?  Inorder for God to help you, you must believe in Him. Read Hebrews 11:5-6, By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Are you seeking the help from the Lord, or do you think that you can do it another way? Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
