DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  1 JOHN 3:1-3

(1)  BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons  of God:  therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
(2)  Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be:  but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him;  for we shall see him as he is.
(3)  And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.


WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT:

Brethren,  the Lord loves us so much that he calls us by his name;  the world does not know who we are by nature, for they knew not who Jesus Christ was until they crucified him on the cross;  until this day, his adversaries are still challenging his authenticity;  though we are in his likeness, called by his name, and bear the mark of salvation, the world does not know who we really are, for our blueprints have not been revealed yet until the second coming of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, when  it shall be revealed unto all men, that we are in his likeness, joint heirs and belong to him;  for all eyes shall see him in his glory on that faithful day, coming to receive us into eternity:  and, we that anticipate his second coming should resist ourselves from all ungodliness, cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the spirit and walk in faith through the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ;   for he is Holy!

Brethren,  when we call ourselves children of the LORD, we are joint heirs with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior:  let us always walk and do everything with the mindset of Jesus Christ,  (i)  let us in turn love him with all our hearts, souls and bodies;  because of his love and redemption, we bear marks of salvation wherever we go on this planet earth;  (ii)  let us love our neighbors as ourselves, and help those who are in difficult situations all over the world, and pray for those who are being persecuted for righteousness sake;   (iii)  let us love our enemies and do not curse them, though they hate us, we still have to love them, for we are in Christ and his spirit lives in us; therefore, we ought to love them;  regardless, for Jesus prayed for all his enemies when dying on the cross of Calvary;  (iv)  let us be patient with one another, and remain calm when dealing with difficult people, for the LORD, is long suffering and of great mercies forgiving our iniquities and transgressions everyday;  (v)  let us show kindness and be merciful to others, help one another, rescue those who are perishing from persecutions, pray for the sick and dying in hospitals, share our blessings with poor and needy;  for we ourselves receive grace everyday through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Brethren, today, we are called by the name of Jesus Christ, that alone is enough for enemy forces to torment our lives, they first persecuted and killed Jesus Christ in whom we believe:  sometimes, we wonder what we did wrong to our enemies who plot, plan and torment our lives; we cannot figure out why our presence alone becomes problems for those we associate with everyday;  may be, because we are lights of this world and they may be still in darkness, and where ever we go, we bring along our touch lights, and their darkness cannot prevail against our lights:  for we all know that lights do shine forth in darkness and enemies forces will identify us by our lights, and hell will break lose to trouble and try to quench our lights;  for they would rather continue in darkness so their evil deeds could not be known abroad;  when light comes in, darkness must disappear forever; therefore, let us not take these physical evil manifestations personally, because they are spiritual, but rather, pray for the Lord's, mercies and deliverance from our attackers, and plea the blood of Jesus to come to our rescue and grant victory forever.

Brethren,  today we have an identity in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, we belong to him, and no darkness should prevail over our spirits, soul and bodies, if there are any evil gatherings against us, whether in spirit, thought or deeds, they shall not stand but shall be broken down in the name of Jesus; we shall not die but live to proclaim the good news of the second coming of the Lord to all nations of the earth, no darkness shall prevail over our lives, we shall remain blessed children of lights forever and evermore.    Amen and Amen!
