DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  JOHN 16:33

(33)  These things I have spoken unto you,  that in me ye might have peace.  In the world ye shall have tribulation:  but be of good cheer;  I have overcome the world.

CHEER UP!  YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Brethren, as believers and followers of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, we are not alone in this world but Jesus is with us;  for, if the Spirit of he who called us out of darkness into his marvelous lights leaves within our innermost Spirits, then he is there within us at all times; and though we do not physically see his manifestations, he is in our lives, workings, guiding our ways, out of traps of enemies, reproving us when we do wrong, encouraging us to be strong, persevere and forbear in faith, in the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; he heals our infirmities, afflictions, grants us victories over enemy forces, and shines lights of blessings, favors upon our lives into life everlasting;  therefore, let us be encouraged to know that we are not alone in this world;  for, Jesus Christ is with us, at all times; with him on sides, we have peace and joy everlasting, we just have to realized who we are in him, what has been given through his death and resurrection, and declare them with our mouths,  decree them into physical realities, because it is already done, on the cross of Calvary forevermore.

Case in point, our forefathers, tell jokes, that when babes are born into this world, as soon as they come out of their incubators, (the womb), enter into the world; the first thing they do is to cry out because suddenly, they find themselves in  a world full of struggles, torments, troubles, trails and tribulations; therefore, they cry out, in distress and regrets of ever entering their mother's wombs; in reality, that is exactly what goes on in this world of darkness!  Jesus said to his disciples, (i)  In the world ye shall have tribulations;  unfortunately,  Jesus did not deny that there are tribulations in this world, but confirm that they are realities, because he walked on this earth himself, experience the struggles, persecutions, and evil works of men;  however, he encourages believers not to worry too much, but rather believe in him, his words, and if his spirits resides in our mortal bodies, we should not fear no evil; for he is with us, and regardless of our persecutions, trails and tribulations, we will overcome by his blood, that was shared on cross of Calvary and by words of our testimonies.

Brethren, Jesus went on to say to his disciples;  (ii)  but be of good cheer;  I know how difficult it is to cheer up, when in trouble waters; regardless of what our negative situations are Jesus is saying to be of good cheer, because he knows what is going on, he is in good control of our situations; he will works all things together for good; if we trust and believe in him; whether negative or positive situations;  he is in perfect control of all circumstances; therefore, let us not be dismayed when in trouble waters, but be encouraged to know that he is in our troubles with us, pray without ceasing, read promises of his words, receive his words into our spirits, and thank him for what he has given, praise and worship him in the beauty of his holiness;  he also said,  (iii)  I have overcome the world: friends, we all know that Jesus fought our battles, and overcame the prince of world of darkness by his death and resurrection, as a result, we were set free from bondage of iniquities, shackles of the enemy upon our lives are broken forevermore;  therefore, let us know our rights as believers, stand firmly on faith grounds, rebuke the enemy in the Name of Jesus, and he will flee away;  regardless of how deeper our trouble waters are currently, we do not have to sink alone, carry our burdens on our own shoulders; for Jesus is saying, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."(Matthew 11:28);  therefore, there is rest in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, let us not try to carry our own burdens but bring them unto him through prayers and supplications, and receive everlasting peace;

Brethren, Jesus said, "that in me ye might have peace.";  for he came to give lights to those who sit in darkness, and in shadows of death, to guide their feet into ways of peace;  therefore, if we do not have peace within our souls, we need Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, to shine his lights upon our lives, that we may have peace and joy everlasting;  today, let us invite Jesus Christ into our hearts as Lord and Savior, give ourselves unto him, plead his blood shed on the cross of Calvary, to wipe away all our dark shadows, hovering over our souls and make us clean by his blood, that we may be able to receive the indwelling powers of the Holy Spirit, our companion, comforter, teacher and guidance into everlasting peace; for Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace  I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."(John 14:27);  therefore, we already have the peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; let us claim this promise into our innermost Spirits and cheer up; for we are not alone, Christ leaves within us!

CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, today's message is an encouragement to strengthen humanity to know that there are joy and peace in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior forevermore; and regardless of our troubles, fears, sorrows and anxieties of today, there is hope of eternity in him ; for, Jesus did not say that there will be no troubles in this world; he said there are trails and tribulations, but we need not fear, but rather be happy to know that he overcame the world on the cross of Calvary, by his death and resurrection; therefore, let us be happy in our trouble waters; for when we are sorrowful and lament over our troubles, our enemy, the trouble maker rejoices, because he delights in evil;  rather, let us rejoice, claim what is rightfully given through the sufferings, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  salvation, grace, hope of eternal glories, peace and life everlasting.  Amen and Amen!
