DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  TITUS 3:1-7

(1)  Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work.
(2)  To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
(3)  For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
(4)  But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
(5)  Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
(6)  Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
(7)  That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.


WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT:

Brethren, many godly attributes were revealed to us through the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ; let us therefore, put them into practice;  (a)  we need to be humble and submissive to those in higher authority;  for this is the will of the LORD:  (b)  let us not speak badly of, or argue with them; for our negative reactions could go a long way in life:  however, let us apply wisdom and humility in all our undertakings;  so we could prosper in life:  (c)  we also need to learn how to work, and live peaceably with all men;  regardless of their shortcomings:  for we ourselves sometime lived an ungodly lives;  but were transformed to righteousness by the power of the Holy Spirit;  therefore, we need to show love and kindness when interacting with others;  for these attributes are fruits of Holiness already planted in our spirits, not by our works or righteousness;  but by the kindness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ;  who redeemed us by sanctification through the power of the Holy Spirit; which was poured out on us richly, to pardon all our sins and to bring us along into eternity:  therefore, let us not backslide any longer, but have the assurance to continue in the faith of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to life everlasting.
Brethren, to be humble is not an act of stupidity; but it is a Christlike attitude which goes a long way to salvation;  for our Lord Jesus Christ, humbled himself all the way, even unto death on the Cross:  for those of us in higher authority;  let us not enslave our subordinates, or degrade them; for the eyes of the LORD, are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. (KJV. Psalm 34:15):  but, let us emulate Christ, by treating others righteously and with love regardless of their statuses in society;  and let our actions be to the glorification of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ;  also, we are to exercise our duties with fear of the LORD, in our hearts, and by the saving Grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!


QUOTE OF THE DAY:

(KJV.)  Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.  For there is no power but of God:  the powers that be are ordained of God.
