DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ST. JOHN 6:26

(26)  Jesus answered them and said,  Verily, verily,  I say unto you,  Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

THE MOTIVES!

Grace be unto you!

Interestingly, the revolving doors of life consist of the cause and the effectiveness of motives and behaviors:  every aspect of life has a motion that prompts to action;  case in point, when we work, it is to make a purposeful life; we visit a medical doctor's office for physical examination; stop by Grandmas's house after church service on Sunday afternoons to visit her, but inwardly crave for her piece of apple pies, lol, etc.

Jesus, while on the earth, performed numerous miracles, including the feeding of multitudes with limited resources, refer to the following narratives of the scriptures, St. Matthew 14:15-24; 15:32-38;  after the feeding phenomenon, a lot of people followed him, not only because of his teachings but also desired to be fed by him;  therefore, may I ask you this question;  what is your motive for worshipping God, following Jesus Christ?  Is it to gain the riches of this world?  To gain promotion in the workplace?  To seek a spouse? For showmanship?  Ponder over these things, endeavor to give your heart to Jesus!

If your motive is not of salvation and life everlasting, be encouraged to reset your attitude, seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all your heart desires shall be added to you, St. Matthew 6:33; for there is nothing impossible with Jesus Christ;  many times, prayers are not answered because of the motives of the heart;  assumable, if someone prays for the opportunity to rob a bank, would this prayer be answered by God?;  Not a chance!  first of all, who is this thief praying to, God or Satan?. secondly, is the prayer request channeled through the name of Jesus or that of a necromancy?  the fact is, if Jesus, will he allow his holy name to be defiled with such an evil prayer?  I guess not!  Therefore, in all our endeavors, whether personal, secular works or faith outreach programs, it is important to pray first, search our hearts for the motives of what we desire to endeavor so that after we might have done the works, our efforts would not be counted as worthless because of wrong motives.

Beloved, wherever Jesus went, multitude followed him to listen to his wisdom, some look for his faults to allegate him to authorities, while others eagerly followed him for food to eat,  today, he is offering you his words for free to eat and be full of life;  you do not need to worry about the menu, is right there with you, open up the scriptures, choose any book, read its contents, you will feel his presence with you in the spirit, to enlighten your eyes of understanding, be strengthened by the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit, and lack nothing else, but be content, with happiness, for the joy of the Lord is your strength, cf. Nehemiah 8:10;  there are no necessities in Christ, but the abundance of blessings to enjoy in forever more.  Amen and Amen!

Continue to Love one another as yourself!  Jesus is coming back again soon!  Peace and Love be unto you!
