DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  MATTHEW 10:27-28

(27)  What I tell you in darkness,  that speak ye in light;  and what ye hear in the ear,  that preach ye upon the housetops,
(28)  And fear not them which kill the body,  but are not able to kill the soul;  but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.


OH!  THOU MISSIONARIES

Brethren, that which the Lord reveals secretly in darkness, that which he whispers through our ears, or reveals through dreams or visions, should not be kept in secrets but be brought to light: therefore, whatever we hear in our ears from the Lord;  let us proclaim abroad in our preaching, counselling and ministry to all humanity;  and let us not be afraid or worry about those who can kill our mortal bodies, but cannot kill our spiritual, moral and emotional natures;  however,  let us rather be afraid of him who can cause destruction to both emotional and physical aspects of our lives in everlasting punishment, the LORD of hosts.

Brethren,  as believers in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, we are not to be just believers alone; for we receive his blood redemption and rebirth to prepare us ahead for greater assignments in the faith as disciples to continue his good works on planet earth;  therefore, we receive spirits of boldness, and not of bondage again to fear,  but when we receive Jesus Christ, we receive spirits of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father;  for the Holy Spirit bears witness in our spirits that we are redeemed children of the most High God;  therefore, we need to be bold and courageous, and not fear our foes, for the LORD of hosts is with us forever.

Case in point,  Jesus is saying;  (i)  whatever I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light;  when we receive messages from the Lord,  we are to reveal them to appropriate individuals, not keep them to ourselves, or tell wrong individuals, or use revealed messages to cause mischief among brethren;  if we refuse to deliver messages given to us by the Holy Spirit,  and as a result, bad things happened to those individuals;  the scripture says, we will be held accountable for those lives, (Ezekiel 33:6);  (ii)  what ye hear in the ear,  that preach ye upon the housetops;  when the Lord sends us out as disciples, we are not alone,  for he is always with us, though we do not see him, whatever we say is not coming from us but from the comforter the Holy Spirit;  for he is with us to teach us all things;  therefore, we are to speak truthfully and boldly whatever we hear from him;  for it is the spirit that quickeneth;  the flesh profiteth nothing;....(John 6:63);

Points to ponder,  (a)  And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul;  as disciples of the Lord, if we are of the world, the world will love us, but because we are not of the world, and are chosen out of the world, therefore, the world will hate us, (John 15:19);  let us not fear anyone or pay attention to what people say about our faithfulness to the Lord, but persevere to the end and receive eternal glories from Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  (b)  but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell;  let us be bold in our service to the Lord, and not be frighten by our persecutors;  but stand still and see the salvation of the Lord;  let us fear him only, for he is able to destroy all things including mortal and immortal bodies in Hades forever.
 

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT:

Brethren,  our commissions to discipleship are to allow ourselves to be used mightily to preach the gospel of the second coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to do his will on earth as it is in heaven, without fear of enemy reproaches or persecutions and speak the truth with boldness to all;  regardless, of who we minister to, we are not to be afraid of their faces, for they cannot do any harm to our souls, unless powers are given to them from on high;  however, if he chooses not to prevail against evil situations, it is in his own prerogatives, not ours;  for our physical death in his perspective is harmless;  for, if we die in his will, we will rise again and receive eternal lives; therefore, we only need to be afraid of what will happen to us when we disobey, deny or refuse to do his will;  that we ought to be afraid of,  for he is able to destroy our immortal souls after death forever.

Brethren,  today, whose voices are we listening to?  if we receive messages to destroy, kill, commit adultery, steal, gossip and slander one another;  let us rebuke those provoking spirits, they are not of the Lord;  for the spirit of the Lord will not advise anyone to go against one another but to love one another and seek after peace and righteousness;  therefore, let us connect our hearts to the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, by reading of the scriptures, and walk in faith thorough his righteousness, speak truthfully and boldly with the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!


QUOTE OF THE DAY:

(KJV.)  John 16:13  Howbeit, when he,  the Spirit of truth,  is come,  he will guide you into all truth:  for he shall not speak of himself;  but whatsoever he shall hear,  that shall he speak:  and he will shew you things to come.
