DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  MARK 10:28-30

(28)  Then Peter began to say unto him,  Lo,  we have left all, and have followed thee.
(29)  And Jesus answered and said,  Verily I say unto you,  There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
(30)  But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time,  houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions;  and in the world to come eternal life.


CALL TO SERVICE

Brethren,  when believers in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, follow his ways and serve him diligently, we will receive rewards in hundredfold on planet earth and in heavenly places forever; but to fully follow Jesus Christ, requires tougher decisions that may alter our lives; for our fleshly desires will hinder our souls from moving forward with those decisions to serve him, and if we are not in spirit enough;  there will be attacks of hindrances, obstacles and stumbling blocks placed on our ways from the enemy to derail us in the faith in his righteousness;  however, if we focus on him alone and believe in him who had called us from darkness into his marvelous light, we will be able to serve him, and receive crown of glories and life everlasting.

Fruit of thoughts; we have all been called to service the Lord and we can still do so without quitting our jobs or means of taking care of ourselves on planet earth;  however, our hearts, minds and souls should be fully situated on him and not too much on earthly and fleshly desires:  in previous verses of this text, Jesus spoke to a would be follower to go and forsake all his earthly possessions and come and follow him; but the would be follower became sad and walk away;  when Apostle Peter, saw what had happened, he said to Jesus, but we have left all and followed thee;  Jesus, was looking for followers with total dedication to service to his will; whereby one ought to be in spirit to hear his daily teachings to receive wisdom, knowledge and understanding of his Kingdom and to be empowered to do his will; (i)  to be fully dedicated to service;  we are to be readily available when called upon to go anywhere at any given time to discharge his duties and to be fully trained as workers in the vineyard; (ii)  to be prepared, we are to read his words daily, study to understand his words, to gain insights to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, who will be our teacher and guidance to know and execute his will on earth;  (iii)  to willfully pray without ceasing;  through our prayers we are empowered from above to carry the cross to the end of our days;  (iv)  to fully seek the Lord for hearts to love others as we love ourselves; for to do his will, we have to have love of others beyond our own boundaries of life;  (v)  Lastly, we are to exercise faith to the fullest no matter what trails or tribulations we encounter during our paths of righteousness for the sake of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ forever.


WORDS OF INSPIRATION:

Case in point; again as believers in the faith, we are to focus on Jesus Christ alone and not on earthly desires of the flesh, such as earthly possessions, strong feelings and affections for things of this world; when we focus on him, all our heart desires will be given unto us in hundredfold both on this earth and in heavenly places; for Jesus Christ desires to be number one in all we do and will like to know that our hearts belong to him alone, that we will allow him to dwell in our hearts and use us to reach out unto others and bring them unto him;  however, in our walk with him in the faith; (a)  there will be stumbling blocks;  attacks that are placed on our ways of righteousness to stop us from doing what he will like us to do for him;  however, if we trust and believe in him and persevere in the faith through his righteousness, we will overcome all stumbling blocks by his death on the cross of Calvary;  (b)  there will be hindrances;  attacks designed to hinder his will in our lives; e.g. when we are called or volunteer to service the Lord during church functions or gatherings; coincidentally,  there are unforeseen other fleshly events such as weddings, friends or family occasions that we may also need to attend at same times and our minds are divided and our hearts are troubled on what to do or which ways to give in on that day?  those are enemy attacks thrown in our ways to stop us from doing the will of the Lord;  (c)  there will be obstacles;  they are attacks placed before us to stop or derail our callings to service the Lord; when the enemy places obstacles as attacks on our ways, we are to fervently trust the Lord, read the scriptures and pray to the Lord for help to overcome by his saving blood of Calvary.


CONCLUSION:

Brethren, let us not have doubts in our minds when we hear the voice of the Lord calling us to come unto him;  for those he calls, he chooses and those he chooses he also glorifies;  if we are already in the faith walking with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, let us beware, that along our ways of righteousness, there will be stumbling blocks, hindrances and obstacles;  all these attacks are stepping stones designed to strengthen our faith in the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; the enemy, brings on all these attacks to derail our walk in the faith;  however, Jesus Christ, allows them as tools and thistles to shape and make us perfect in him;  today, if we are in any kinds of enemy attacks, let us be strengthened to know that all things will work out for those who trust and believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior;  he is working still in our attacks, we are not alone or forsaken in our troubles, and all our setbacks will be over shortly, and we will be restored with hundredfold in this lifetime and in heavenly places forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!


QUOTE OF THE DAY:

(KJV.)  Mark 8:35  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it;  but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's the same shall save it.
