DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  LUKE 21:17-19

(17)  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
(18)  But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
(19)  In your patience possess ye your souls.

TAKE OWNERSHIP!

Brethren, during the ministry of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; he did good works, preached the kingdom gospel to multitudes, healed sick people, the blind saw, lepers walked and forgave sins;  in spite of all that, he suffered persecutions, trails and reproaches, to points of scourgings, bleedings, crucifixion and death upon the cross, but rose again from the death, redeemed souls from bondage of iniquities, grant salvation and life everlasting;
.
Through his ordeal Jesus was not alone, the Holy fold was with him, to strengthen him to endure his sufferings, forbear and complete his assignment successfully; for his assignment would have been aborted without his sufferings, death and resurrection, the most important parts of his assignment; though our Father knew what he had to go through; regardless, he turned his face away from him, did not answer his prayers requesting mercy, to release him of his burdens;  because our Father's bowels yearns to see his Son's sufferings, hear his cries;  but he knew the end results of his ordeal that more souls will benefit from his predicaments, receive salvation and life everlasting,  therefore, Jesus went through it all, endure his sufferings, shed his blood, died on the cross, was buried but rose again from the death to complete his assignment successfully, ascended into heaven, receive crown of glory, seated on right hand of our Father, as an advocate for humanity forevermore; the question is;  as believers, can we do the same for one another?;  this is a point to ponder on!

As believers and followers of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who were called out of darkness into his marvelous lights, we are not of this world, though we live in this world in darkness of this world, we have lights surroundings our souls, wherever we go, darkness moves out of our ways; therefore, people who are in darkness will resist our lights, they cannot explain reasons why our presence bothers them;  but they do hate our presence for no apparent reasons;  let us not take it personally, it is not about us, but the lights around our souls, they are resisting;  therefore, knowing the truthfulness of matters, about who we are in the lights of our Father;  let us not get offended by evil people's reactions to our presence among them;  for we are blessed and highly favoured of our Father;  even if they hate or cast us away from their circles, gossip, reproach and call us evil names because of who we are in the faith of the righteousness of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  let us not get angry or fight back; but rather pray for forgiveness and change of hearts for them; for Jesus prayed for his enemies on the cross, at the point of his death; saying, Father forgive them for they know not what they do. (Luke 23:34);  and be very happy and delighted to know that we are in the lights of our Father, his banner is over our souls, and are parts of his eternal kingdom, and will be rewarded for our sufferings and reproaches in heavenly places forevermore.

When our Father turned his face away from his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, while he suffered, he knew what he will do for him after his ordeal was over; he resurrected him back to life to prove to his enemies that he is not just an ordinary person, but was the Son of the Living Father, with supernatural powers, who gave himself as sacrificial lamb to save humanity from bondage of iniquities to grant salvation and eternity; when he rose again from the death, his enemies were put to shame, though they tried to formulate lies to cover up facts of his resurrection; until present time, their lies has never been proven, but the ministry of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is spreading throughout the whole world;  when Jesus ascended into heaven, he receive greater rewards from our Father; as the King of all Kings, and Lord of all Lords, the most powerful name above all names, he lives and reigns forevermore;  therefore, the world hates believers who believe in Jesus Christ, not because they did wrongful deeds, but because of who they are in his righteousness;  however, there is nothing they can do to believers that has not been done in past generations;  therefore, let us not fear their persecutions and reproaches, but stand firmly in what we believe, in the faith of his righteousness, suffer if we have to suffer for righteousness sakes, and not give up, Jesus Christ is with us; they can trouble our souls to points of martyrdom;   let us not fear, worry or be dismayed; for it is written in book of Matthew 10:28:  "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.";  therefore, if they destroy our mortal bodies, they cannot destroy our souls, our souls lives on, and will rise up again on day of judgment, with immortal bodies and dwell with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior forevermore.

Therefore, if we suffer for righteousness sakes, let us be content to wait upon our Father, not be hasty and give up our faith in him, though, enemies will pester with our souls, while we wait upon him, let us exercise patience to gain experiences to do his will, and hope that we are not ashamed because of the love of our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, which strengthen our hearts by the Holy Ghost powers within our innermost spirits, our Father is faithful in all his ways; let us have greater faith in him through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, persevere and forbear in all our undertakings, successfully finish our assignments on earth and receive eternal rewards, crown of glories and be joint heirs with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior forevermore.

CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, let us be encourage to know that we are not alone in this world of darkness; Jesus Christ is with us at all times; regardless of where we are in life currently; whether on mountains tops of blessings and prosperities or downcast in allies of sorrows and despairs;  pray without ceasings, beware; the enemy is roaring around like a wounded lion looking for whom to devour; let us not fall into his temptations, have faith in our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, that he sees and knows everything, and will work all things together for those that love him, and for those who are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28);  our Father will supply all our needs according to the riches of his glory; therefore let us be strengthen with his might by the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit within our innermost spirits, be steadfast in prayers, read and meditate on his words, have hope in him, there shall be showers of blessings upon the face of the earth;  it shall well again in Jesus Mighty Name!  Amen and Amen!
