DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ROMANS 12:4-8

(4)  For as we have many members in one body,  and all members have not the same office:
(5)  So we,  being many,  are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
(6)  Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us,  whether prophecy,  let us prophesy  according to the proportion of faith;
(7)  Or ministry,  let us wait on our ministering:  or he that teacheth, on teaching;
(8)  Or he that exhorteth,  on exhortation:  he that giveth,  let him do it with simplicity;  he that ruleth,  with diligence;  he that sheweth mercy,  with cheerfulness.


WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT:

Brethren,  every living soul is gifted with detailed plan on how to do something wisely on this planet earth;  we congregate as one body in Christ, but with different god given abilities for glorification of the Father, through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior:  we receive differs gifts from the LORD, not because we earn them, but by his grace they are given, to edify one another and the congregation of the LORD;  even in the secular world, we depend on each other the same; e.g. (a)  the farmers, depends on planted seeds to germinate into good crops;  (b)  the harvesters, depends on buyers to purchase the produce;  (c)  while buyers, transforms the produce for consumption; and so forth.... all humanity depends on one another;  why not we love one another?.

Brethren,  in the body of Christ, we differ in our own ways, yet there must be unity within the body, and not division;  when we are unified, and congregate in peace, love, and adoration, blessings will flow from throne of grace and our enemies will be defeated forever:  however, it is how we use these gifts to service the LORD, that matters;  (i)  If we prophecy,  let us do so according to our faith and the word given to us by the Holy Spirit;  (ii)  If we minister,  let us use our gifts to serve Jesus Christ, diligently;  for, it is the Holy Spirit that commissions his chosen vessels in this area;  he anoints, empowers and provides for them to function successfully, at whatever areas they are to minister; (iii)  If we teach,  let us impact the knowledge of truth, by the scriptures and instruct faithfully, to raise up a generation of godly people;  (iv)  If we exhort,  let us exalt one another with wisdom and grace, and encourage one another to practice what we learn from the scriptures;  (v)  If we give,  let us be simple and do so with love, not with flamboyant, arrogance and prideful attitudes, to receive blessings in return for our good gestures;  (vi)  If we lead,  we must persevere in the spirit;  leaders do become frustrated and sometimes will want to give up, but with prayers and reading of the word daily, the Holy Spirit will grant us spirits of perseverance to keep on doing what we do faithfully;  (vii) If we are merciful,  we must also be cheerful about what we do,  it difficult to show mercy and be cheerful about it;  it is a unique gift of the Holy Spirit, and the enemy is always against those who possess this gift;  for, it is an attribute of  the Father and Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Case in point, everyone on this planet earth is gifted with one talent or ability to function as souls belonging to one Father;  all people, races, and genders are all gifted:  the Father, design us this way, so we could lean on one another, and function as one body under the Sun;  if we refuse to share our talents and ideas with others, we are not in the will of the Father;  for he made everything to interact with everything on this planet earth; e.g.  (a)  our hands cannot walk, but our feet can; (b)  our noses cannot see but our eyes can;  etc., they are all parts of our bodies, and they lean on each other to function as one body everyday:.... my question is how do we identify our god given talents?  we need to ask Jesus Christ for those answers;  for, it is only when we identify them, that we are able to function successfully, enjoy what we do and impact knowledge to others, if we bury our god given talents and seek after other talents, we might get lost in transits to our destinations and might be miserable in what we do for the rest of our lives;  we might make it, and be successful but will experience emptiness within our souls that only the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, could occupy; without him, we might not be able to be happy with ourselves until we fly away to be at rest, and our god given gifts perish with the wind forever.  

Brethren,  what types of gifts do we have today?  are we functioning with our gifts?  or doing what we do now just to survive?  let us pray to Jesus, to reveal his plans for our lives;  for, there is peace and joy in serving the Lord with our rightful gifts;  he is the giver of all good things both on earth and in heavenly places;  he is waiting for our questions and concerns about our lives;  he has answers, and will help us to understand the pathways of our lives;  it is not too late for us to come unto him, with our labors and heavy laden;  he is there to give us rest in his bosom forever and evermore. Amen and Amen!


QUOTE OF THE DAY:

(KJV.)  John 16:13  Howbeit when he,  the Spirit of truth,  is come,  he will guide you into all truth:  for he shall not speak of himself;  but whatsoever he shall hear,  that shall be speak:  and he will shew you things to come.
