DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ST MARK 13:12-13

(12)  Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son:  and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
(13)  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake:  but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

BELIEVER'S ENDURANCE

Brethren, there are two major attributes of humanity, love, and hatred, at any given moment of our lives, any of these two attributes can overtake human emotions, to strive or behave passionately towards others;  therefore, as believers, it is necessary to incorporate prayers into daily mornings routines before heading out to the world, that the Holy Spirit, our guidance, take absolute controls of daily undertakings, direct our pathways, guide our thought processes, in his righteousness, not to resent people we interact with, but love one another as ourselves.

As the end times prophecies unfold, we can testify that strange things are happening all over the world;  things that we have not seen before heard of, or read about in the scriptures;  at times, we wonder what is going on in this world?  the answer is simple, Jesus Christ is coming back again soon!  therefore, we perceive strange phenomenon such as, a brother or sister, who is supposed to love one another, betray another sibling, at times, to point of death;  in this generation, children are disrespectful to parents and would betray them to death if possible, rebellious for fame sake; these types of behaviors are abnormal, signs that the negativities of this world overwhelm human control, which is also a sign of end times;  therefore, every soul needs Jesus Christ in their lives.

What can we do about it?  let us assume control, all is not lost yet!  we can do a little more work on our younger ones; before they mature into adulthood, give them the fundamental principles, to be God fearing responsible adulthoods;  love them more, pay attention more, teach more, inspire more, encourage more, counsel more, use parental controls over the next generation before they mature into adulthood;  it is the foundation that we build upon that matters;  therefore, let us build them up upon biblical foundations, anything else will fail them at adulthood years.

CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, as believers, Jesus said, we shall be hated of men for his name sake;  therefore, many believers mention the name Jesus only when in prayer closets, anywhere else, they remain undercover, cautious to proclaim the name of Jesus among the heathens;  friends, let us be bold Christians step up to the plate, go, teach all nations, baptize them in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, cf. Matthew 28:19;  endure hardships, long sufferings, forbear all things to the end for righteousness sake, receive crowns of glories, be joint heirs with Jesus Christ and eternal lives.  Peace be unto you!  Amen and Amen!

WORD OF WISDOM:

(KJV.)  Ecclesiastes 12:13   Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:  Fear God, and keep his commandments:  for this is the whole duty of man.
