DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  1 JOHN 2:7-9

(7)  Brethren,  I write no new commandment unto you,  but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning.  The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
(8)  Again,  a new commandment I write unto you,  which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
(9)  He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

THE LIGHT IS ON!

Brethren, we all know that by words of our Father, all things manifested both in the heavens and on the earth;  however, what is the major reason why during creation, he said;  let us make man in our image, after our likeness to have dominion over things of the earth? (Genesis 1:26);  it is because of his spirit of love:  when our Father created all things, everything looked perfect, but the earth was missing an overseer to love and enjoy his creation; therefore, he created man in his image, called his name Adam, to rule over all things of the earth; and for the fact that he wanted man to dwell in love, he formed Eve out of the ribs of Adam, to become his wife: that humanity will interact with one another in love;  after creation, he gave the old commandment; saying, "Thou shalt not avenge, not bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself:  I am the LORD." (Leviticus 19:18);  therefore, our Father created all things out of love for humanity to enjoy and expect humanity to also love one another as themselves and live peaceably with all men.

Again, our Father gave a new commandment which manifested his love in the flesh, which is Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  because of our Father's love for humanity, though Jesus was immortal being, he became mortal to show what our Father's love is all about unto his children on earth, and by his sufferings, death and resurrection; humanity receive salvation, free grace and eternal lives; the same love dwells within each and every soul on planet earth;  all we have to do, is to activate love within our innermost spirits towards one another;  if we love one another, we will not wish evil works of darkness upon any soul, spread rumors to discredit people we resent or hold animosities and grudges against our offenders, but rather, show fruits of righteousness, love one another still; forgive our offenders as our Father forgives our offenses;  when Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior set humanity free from the enemy bondage, we are free indeed; though we live in the darkness of this world, we are no longer parts of fruits of darkness, we are children of lights belonging to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  when we receive him into our hearts, it is not just ascertaining words of our faith, but we receive his lights as well;  therefore, if we claim to be lights of this world, but live in darkness, it is time to shine our lights;  when light is turned on in the dark, darkness must disappear into the oblivion;  point to ponder on;  what would the world look like if every soul lights are turned on to shine in the darkness of this world?

Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is the true Light of this world, his light shines brightly than ever before in the hearts of believers;  therefore, let us shine our lights, reach out and touch someone with love lights;  if we are in the lights of Jesus Christ, and he lives within our innermost spirits by the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit; then, let us emulate love to the fullest degree, not resent fellow brothers and sisters; but rather love all souls, believers or unbelievers embrace one another with love, forgive trespassers and leave all judgments to our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; if we claim to love our Father, but hate other people, we lie to ourselves, the truth is not in us, and are in darkness still;  "If a man say,  I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can be love God whom he hath not seen?  (1 John 4:20): the enemy knows what is rightful for humanity and devises evil to take away the peace of this world, if humanity love one another, look up for each other and are in one accord, the world will be peaceful and love will reign supreme;  therefore, he roams around the world like a wounded lion looking for preys to devour, torment, and take away peace and joy given by Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; therefore, let us beware of his evil devises to cover our love for one another with troubles of this world; he lost the battle over our souls, when Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior died and rose again from the death and seized the keys of hell and death, we are more than conquerors forevermore.

CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, we are lights of the world of darkness, let us shine our lights to overshadow the works of darkness, love one another, be outstanding personalities of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; though enemies will pester, we are more than conquerors;  therefore, let us not pay any attention to what enemies do, but rather pay attention to the one who delivers our souls from our enemies, pray all our troubles, fears and anxieties unto him; trust and believe in him, he is merciful and compassionate, and will rectify all our shortcomings, make our lives peaceful and joyful by his grace forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!
