DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  PROVERBS 4:14-18

(14)  Enter not into the path of the wicked,  and go not in the way of evil men.
(15)  Avoid it,  pass not by it,  turn from it,  and pass away.
(16)  For they sleep not,  except they have done mischief;  and their sleep is taken away,  unless they cause some to fall.
(17)  For they east the bread of wickedness,  and drink the wine of violence.
(18)  But the path of the just is as the shinning light,  that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.


WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT:

Brethren,  when Jesus Christ redeems our souls into salvation, we are redeem forever:  therefore, we are to avoid morally bad behaviors and walk in the path of his righteousness, not mingle with ungodly assemblies or come closer to their evil doings, but walk out of their mischievous ways:  for, evildoers will always cause havoc or discomfort wherever they go;  they will not rest, except they derail others from attaining their potentials;  they enjoy partaking in morally and physically bad behaviors;  the righteous are not so, but they will shine forth with greater lights having the attributes of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Brethren,   we were in the world full of evil and have associated with children of perdition before redemption;  we need to pray without ceasing, read the scriptures daily, and worship the LORD in the beauty of his holiness;  why!  because, (a)  the devil is running around like a wounded lion, looking for whom to devour;  (b)  the devil is always sad and frustrated when our souls are redeem by Jesus Christ;  (c)  the devil will bring on a spiritual warfare to saved souls to frustrate them to go against their faith;  (d)  the devil will use crafty devises to take back what Jesus had taken away from him at all costs;  however, if we stay under our umbrella of salvation, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, we will not backslide into the hands of the enemy but will dwell in the light forever.

Case in point, seasonally, the enemy will buffer our minds with evil desires of the flesh;  (i)  he can use dubious devises to attack and invade our thought processes to yield to things of the flesh, but when we quote the scriptures back to him, like Jesus did we will conquer his evil weapons;  (ii)  he can bring on divisions into relationships by provoking one against the other, but spirit of forgiveness always prevails over his lies;  (iii)  he can invade minds of our children to rebel against authorities, but prayers will protect and grant them victories over all demonic influences;  (iv)  he can break up marriages with spirits of unfaithfulness to moral obligations, but with prayers, Jesus will resurrect all marriages back with togetherness and love;  (v)  he can destabilize denominations by raising up false accusers among brethren, but prayers and vigils will always prevail against his evil devises; (vi)  he can manipulate dreams and visions to cause confusion in our minds to hate one another, but when we pray, the truth of the Holy Spirit will prevail against his evil manipulations:  beware!  the scriptures says,  And no marvel;  for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (II Cor. 11:14);  he will decisive the whole world into destruction if he can, but Jesus will not allow him to do so, but will prevail over all his evil devises by his Holy Name;  thank you Jesus for this grace!  today, we are children of light, bought and paid for by blood of Jesus;  let us walk in righteousness and run opposite directions of evil doers, but be transformed into ministers of righteousness with good works forever.

Points to ponder,  who are our associates today?  are we in a gang of evil doers or ministers of righteousness?;  the scriptures says, ....... by their fruits ye shall know them.(Matt. 7:20);  therefore, let us associate ourselves wisely,  for birds or the same feathers flock together;  if we are saved and walk in the righteousness, let us use our time and efforts to spread the gospel of the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and bear fruits of righteousness with faith, and not waver to devises of Lucifer the devil:  regardless, of who we presently are, it does not matter to Jesus!  he does not see us as children of perdition;  let us therefore come unto him today, and dwell in his righteousness and peace forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!


QUOTE OF THE DAY:

(KJV.)  Psalm 1:1  BLESSED is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,  nor standeth in the way of sinners,  nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
