DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  LUKE 15:3-7

(3)  And he spake this parable unto them,  saying,
(4)  What man of you,  having an hundred sheep,  if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness,  and go after that which is lost,  until he find it?
(5)  And when he hath found it,  he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
(6)  And when he cometh home,  he calleth together his friends and neighbours,  saying unto them,  Rejoice with me;  for I have found my sheep which was lost.
(7)  I say unto you,  that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth,  more than over ninety and nine just persons,  which need no repentance.


WORDS OF INSPIRATION:

Brethren,  what an amazing love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!   he loves all humanity, from all walks of life, nations, denominations, beliefs, races, sinners and righteous alike;  though we differ in our own ways, in his eyes we are all the same people under his umbrella of salvation:  when we err, lose focus, and backslide from him, go our different ways, and get lost in transits of salvation; he does not forsake us in the wilderness of life because we went astray from him;  he pursues us until our souls are won back into his bosom of love and peace forever.

His love and compassion for humanity manifests everyday, though there are billions of believers still following him, he does not forsake those who go astray from the faith or those who does not know yet what to do so far as faith is concern;  he still pursues souls through missionaries, preachers, prophets, seers and dreamers to bring everyone into repentance and eternal life.

Case in point,  which one of us this day possesses this kind of unfailing love spoken of in this context?  we all have families,  when a family member chooses to walk in disobedience and go their own different ways, we try as much as possible to bring them back into proper alignment with the norms, when we are not successful, after a while we lose hope and give up on them as failures or hell bounds;  sometimes we fail to realize the whole picture, that we are all spirits, living in physical bodies, possessing souls, feelings and emotions;  when we cannot reach out and touch someone who is going astray physically, it is time for us to do our home work spiritually;   (i)  let us get on our knees, and pray for divine help from the Lord on behalf of their souls, for there might more spiritual battles going on in their spirits than what we physically observe in them;  (ii)   let us not give up easily on them but search the scriptures for quotations and verses pertaining to types of issues we know needs our focus and attentions in prayers;  (iii)  let us reach out to secular programs designed to help those situations and do research on what to do for them;  (iv)  let us feel free to approach our pastors, elders, and prayer warriors for prayers to restore them back to the will of  the Lord;  (v) by all means, let us not give up on them;  for Jesus will not give up on anyone, we are all important in his eyes;  (vi)  let us not judge them on whatever might be going on but show empathy still;  (vii) let us show love, in spite of all difficulties;  for it is not too late for the Lord to change things around for his glorification and life everlasting;  he will work all things out for good for those who trust and believe him!

Brethren, Jesus will turn all our reprobates into blessings, joy, peace and we will glorify his Holy Name upon the whole earth:  when we go our different ways, he does not give up on us, but watches over our lives, to convert our failures into testimonies, so we can preach the gospel of his second coming and bring other unbelievers into salvation:  he did it for Paul the Apostle, there is no one Jesus cannot change and will do it for this generation also;  he has the master plan to work all things into proper perspectives of the Father, before the appointed time, his second coming, rapture and life everlasting.

Brethren,  there are plans laid down for everyone in heavenly places, there is still room for change before the appointed day of judgment, when we focus on him and his will, we will not miss our way but will fellowship with others who are also on the road map to salvation;  (a)  let us make a turn from walking away from him; (b)  in case we backslide by error, he will not give up on us but will still search for our souls among billions of souls dwelling on planet earth and bring us back into the faith of his righteousness;  (c)  though we might be out of his will today, we are not out of his sight,  for he still sees our movements, hears our utterances, feels our emotions, knows our breaking points and will deliver our souls back into joy and peace forever.

Brethren,  today, do we feel lost, sorrowful, broken down, or overwhelm with uncertainties;  we are not alone!  Jesus is with us, he knows what is going on, he feels our emotions, he knows we are not lost or forsaken, we are too important to him to be left alone in the wilderness of thorns, thistles and predators;  he is still searching for us in the wilderness, mountains, hills, and valleys of despairs;  let us not lose hope but continue to trust in him to find us soon and restore our lives back from the wilderness into his grace forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!


QUOTE OF THE DAY:

(KJV.)  John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,  that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,  but have everlasting life.
