DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  I CORINTHIANS 4:12

(12)  And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it.

IF CHRIST BE FOR US?  

Grace be unto you!  If we live in glass houses, never throw stones!  Believers, are pre-destined to eternity, pre-qualified by grace, as joint heirs with Jesus Christ;  metaphorically, kings and queens of eternity, live in see-through glass mansions decorated with gold and diamonds, while still living in the physical;  therefore, we need to have the same kingdom mindsets as Christ;  Jesus served physically on earth, and still serving you and me spiritually;  how?  I will say, try to call his name in any circumstance, belief, and see his manifestation;  therefore, let us serve, give our best to one another with agape love.

Jesus was abused by enemies during his trails, on his way to Calvary, the cross, but he abused not, rather he prayed for his foes, saying; Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. cf. Luke 23:34;  therefore, when foes rise up against us, send insults and injuries upon our souls, let us not defend ourselves, insult them back, rather do the same thing Christ did, pray for them that their eyes may be enlightened to love others, refrain from evil works, do good, that their lives may be spared from damnation;  Jesus Christ, the judge, is pounding at the door of every evil work! 

On the journey of faith, there are times when enemies misunderstand believers motives and will warfare, persecute them;  when foes rise up against us;  let us know that it is a package deal for believers, Jesus was persecuted throughout his ministry, not for evil works, but for doing the will of God, wanted to destroy his life, but he escape among them, cf. John 10;  therefore, whenever, in persecution, the best weapon to use against what we face is to completely ignore the situation, take on their insults and reproaches, pray;  if possible, tune off their voices, separate from them;  but never give up the good works, to save the situation or walk away neglecting the will of Jesus, replacing evil for evil.

Saints, the important thing is, to focus on our various callings, serve diligently, do the best we can to accomplish various assignments successfully, we are in this together as branches of the tree, the body of Christ, let us not see one another as enemies, we have a common goal, together we stand divided we fall, we will not fall, fail, die, but live to declare the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior in the world of darkness until the glorious day of reconciliation and forever.  Peace and Love be unto you!  Amen and Amen!   

WORD OF WISDOM:

(KJV.)  Ecclesiastes 5:6  Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin;  neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error:  wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
