The Living Word of God - Disciples !

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 !

The weekend Living Word of God- Children of God !

To the beloved Children of God
The weekend Living Word of God- Children of God !

Do you not know, whose you are__ ? For we become the sons and daughters of God, by faith in Jesus Christ. For it is written in Romans 8:14-15,For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Messiah, makes us children of God, His sons and daughters! However children of God, you are not in the flesh, but walking by the Holy Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. For it is written in Romans 8:9-10,But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Now, if any man have not the Spirit of Jesus Christ, he is none of His (God's). For we're the Children of God, having accepted Christ Jesus as our Lord and Savior, and relying on him alone for justification and salvation. For it is written in Galatians 3:25-29,But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Get this people of God,by the Spirit the law of love is written upon the heart, and though the righteousness of the law is not fulfilled by us, yet, blessed be God, it is fulfilled in us by His Spirit.The Bible is clear that all people are God’s creation, in Colossians 1:16, and that God loves the entire world in John 3:16, but only those who are born again are children of God, it's Scripture ! The Scripture teaches that God only dwells in those who have put their faith in Christ Jesus. Understand that all others, are God’s offspring by creation, and have been separated from Him because of sin. When a person turns to God by believing in His Only Son Jesus Christ, they are spiritually regenerated, born again spiritual, given new life spiritual, justified (declared righteous in Christ), forgiven of all their sin, past, present, and even future, and made Children of God. And we are grateful, Amem ! For it is written in Romans 8:1-4, There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sented his one and only begotten Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. We become God’s children when we are saved because we are adopted into God’s family through our relationship with Jesus Christ. How, Awesome is our God, people___?? God sent Jesus to Calvary to die for our sin. God doesn't love us for who we are; but rather, because of WHO HE IS ( Love)! Heavenly Father, we thank you for loving us. For we give you all the honour and praise. For we worship and serve you Lord alone. For there is none like you (Lord), One God,One faith and One baptism (spiritual). For it is written in Ephesians 4:4-7,There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.Thank you Lord for Your Living Word. Amen !

                          
                        Let us meditate on Jeremiah chapter 10 for the weekend

For it is written in Jeremiah 10:6-7,Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

The Living Word of God - Faithfulness !

Good morning
Children of God
The Living Word of God -  Faithfulness !

First things first, you must have faith in God to please Him. For it is written in Hebrews 11:6,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.We cannot come to God, unless we believe that he is what he has revealed himself to be in the Scripture. Those who seek God, must seek him with all their heart and soul. People of God, where is your faithfulness to God___? We're the Redeemer's servant, are you doing a greater work for the Kingdom of God? A faithful servant points people to God, by the word of God. People are waiting to hear the word of truth( gospel) ! For it is written in James 2:17-20, Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? The Scripture plainly shows that an opinion, or assent to the gospel, without works, is not faith. There is no way to show we really believe in Christ, but by being diligent in good works. We must be faithful to God first, standing on His Word at all time. To be faithful is to be reliable, steadfast and unwavering by the Word of God. Heavenly Father, we thank you for being faith to us. When we stand before thy, we're waiting to hear, Matthew 25:23,is lord said unto him, Well done, 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. Let us pray for one another daily. Thank You Lord for your Living Word. Amen !

                                                                  The thought for today
The Lord is speaking, For it is written in Numbers 14:11-12, And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them? I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they. People of God awake from sleeping.

The Living Word of God - Your Mind !

Good morning
Children of God
The Living Word of God - Your Mind !

So many people don't realize that they can choose what they think about everyday. Get understanding, it's important for us to choose our thoughts carefully because our thoughts have a lot to do with our perspectives and attitudes. For it is written in Romans 12:1-2, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 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. Some people may be thinking, why do we need to have our minds transformed and renewed ? The best thing we can do is renew our minds with the Word of God so we can think like He thinks and experience His good plan for our lives.The only way to replace the error of the world’s way of thinking is to replace it with God’s truth, and the only infallible source of God’s truth is His revealed Word. We have to become one with God, in our mind and heart. For it is written in Matthew 11:29-30,Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Jesus Christ invites all to come to him for rest for their souls. He alone gives this invitation to all that belief in Him, "Come to Me." We are not just a brain that is stacked on a bunch of muscles, we live by faith not by sight. For it is in 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. What is in our mind is obvious to us, but God looks at the heart. For it is written in Proverbs 26:24-26, He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. God will bless those who seek to honor Him with what matters most to Him our heart. Who we are on the inside and not just what we appear to be to others on the outside. The word of God says, in Matthew 23:28-30, Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Let us pray together, Heavenly Father we your beloved children seek you daily. We come into agreement, Psalm 51:9-12, Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and  uphold me with thy free spirit. Thank you Lord for your Living Word. Amen !

                                                               A thought for today Children of God
For it is written in Psalm 13:3-6,Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

The Living Word of God - Watch and Pray !

Good morning
Children of God
The Living Word of God - Watch and Pray !

Now get understanding first, Jesus is speaking to us, And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch! This is a "Warning" from God be watchful by the spirit of truth. For it is written in Luke 21:34-36, And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Jesus is teaching, His disciples to observe the signs of the end times. I'm coming back for my sheep (people). Take heed to yourselves, that ye be not overpowered by temptations of this world, nor betrayed by your own corruptions. Awake people the day is near, ask yourself will you be found worthy to stand before Christ at the day of judgement___?  Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. For it is written in John 14:12,Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. I'll be standing with joy in my soul, waiting to hear Him say, "Well done my good and faithful servant, enter in." Our danger is, the day of death and of judgment should come upon us when we are not prepared standing before God. Those who never seek to find Him will stand before Him also, and call Him Lord. Amen ! Receiving from Christ is in order for our greater works  for him. The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. Keep watch for you don't know the day or hour the Lord will return. For it is written in Matthew 25:13-14, Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. Don't just read the bible, study for yourself Matthew chapter 25, get understanding of ,The Parable of the Ten Virgins and The Parable of the Talents. Understand, the Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily. God has spoken are you listen___? You need to be approved by God, that you're speaking the truth (gospel) ! For it is written in 2 Timothy 2:14-16, Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. The Word of God is the only source for absolute divine authority. This divine authority is for you and me as servants of Jesus Christ.There is no error in God's Word. The law of the Lord is perfect concerning our soul. The testimony of the Lord is not only infallible it is inerrant. Paul the Apostle says in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." Let's pray together,Heavenly Father, we seek your face day and night daily. Your Word Lord, reassure us and bring comfort to our lives in our times of trial daily. I challenge every person to take time to study the Word of God today. The Lord will show you wonderful things that will change your life forevermore. Let us pray for one another, daily ! For it is written in Proverbs 27:17, Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. Thank you Lord for your Living Word. Amen !

The Living Word of God -Renewed !

Good morning
Children of God
The Living Word of God -Renewed !

The gospel is a call for people of God to repent of his or her sin and embrace Christ by faith. The only way to replace the error of the world’s way of thinking is to replace it with God’s truth, and the only infallible source of God’s truth is His revealed Word, the Bible. What we know in our minds to be true forms a conviction in our hearts of that truth, and that conviction in our hearts translates into action. Therefore, we must first renew our minds daily. We need to read, study and meditate on the word daily. People can’t obey what they don't know, nor teach the gospel if they don't know the truth. Get this, God promises to “make your way prosperous” and you’ll have “good success” if you meditate on His Word and Trust Him. Let the Holy Spirit lead and guide you on the right path for 2016. Children of God, we are living sacrifices to God by not conforming to this world, but by being transformed by the renewing of our minds. Let us pray together Psalm 51:10-13, Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. David saw, more than ever, what an unclean heart he had, and sadly laments it; but he sees that it's not in his own power to amend it, and therefore asked God would He create in him a clean heart. He asks not to be comforted, till he is first cleansed; the bitter root of sorrow, be taken away, then he can pray in faith with the right spirit. Amen ! Let us seek the face of God, with our body, soul and spirit. Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. For it is written in Ephesians 4:22-24,That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Jesus was made Sin; not a sinner, but Sin, a sin-offering, a Sacrifice for sin. The end and design of all this was, that we are made the righteousness of God in him, and justified freely by the grace of God through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus. Heavenly Father, we thank you for all you have done for us. For we praise your Holy Name. For we give thanks in all circumstances to you, for you're in control. For it is written in 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. Do you not know that…you are not your own___? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit. Trust His Word for your life, people of God walk in your newness in life, and know that all things work together for your good to those who love God. For it is written in Romans 6:3-6, Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.Thank you Lord for your Living Word. Amen !

The Living Word of God - First Things First !

Good morning
Children of God
The Living Word of God - First Things First !

First things First, acknowledge the Lord God first everyday. Give thanks unto the Lord first for His goodness. Who woke you up this morning___(The Lord)?  Who started your day ___(The Lord)? Who is the beginning and end of your faith children of God ____ (The Lord) ! God Is The Author And Finisher of our Faith! The word of God tells us to keep our eyes stayed on Him ( Jesus) ! For it is written in Hebrews 12:1-3, Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Get understanding, building without him (The Lord) is foolishness. Now, understand, He is the chief Cornerstone in the foundation we live by. Have you forgotten the encouraging words God  spoke to you as his children___? The word of God is a living Word. Amen ! Let us look at Hebrews 12:5-8, And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.Our whole life here is a state of childhood, and imperfect as to spiritual things; therefore we must submit to the discipline of such a state. Understand people,our Heavenly Father has his hand in all, and is in comtrol of everything. Get understanding first, in Deuteronomy 8:5-9,Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. Let divine grace subdue our hearts children of God, everyday. The message to the children of God put first things first! Our focus should be on Seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness everyday! We shouldn't t be anxious about anything and the things that we will need, God is in control. Thank you Lord for your Living Word. Amen !


Get understanding, Apostle Paul, in his first book to the Corinthian church, states that there are sixteen distinct things about the quality of love that God has and that he wants us to have as well. Love is incredibly patient and very kind. It never brags about itself or does it envy others. Perfect love does not act vainly, behave in an unacceptable manner, is not selfish, is not very easily provoke and thinks no evil of others. It mourns sin but rejoices in what is the truth. Godly love is willing to bear and endure all things, and to hope for and believe the best. This greatest of all spiritual gifts will never EVER fail (1Corinthians 13:4 - 8)!
