God’s Word And Daily Prayer For Today

Here we provided with divine wisdom as to how we should treat one another as well as how we treat our parents. All Christians are to put on spiritual armour against the enemies of their souls. The fight we fight is not against man. It is a spiritual war that requires spiritual battle armor, described here in scripture. Notice that the armor covers the front of the body; because sanctified, regenerated believers don’t turn and run in battle. For those that give up and turn back to what brought them out of will have no protection against the wiles and fiery darts of the enemy. This is how the great falling away is taking place.

Here again we see the mind and love of God as he inspires the recording of his instructions for humanity as to how we demonstrate his personality in our everyday vocations. What we do is what defines us. We cannot please God yielding to the will of the flesh. It is important and imperative that we learn the desire of God by his word for believers and then embrace them and walk in them.

Here we are blessed to have the wisdom of God as to how we are to conduct ourselves amongst non-believers demonstrating the personality of God. We are not to boast ourselves and be glory seekers. We are not to compare ourselves one with another but perform the holy and righteous commands of God; as did Jesus Christ, followed by his hand picked apostles, including this apostle, Paul. All glory belongs to God.

Here we learn of apostle Paul defending and proving his Apostolic authority, and asserts his right to continue the work God charged him and was demonstrating that he was with him. Being led by the spirit of God in performance of the tasks he was commissioned. He waved this part of his Christian liberty, for the good of others. Even so today God is still proving himself in those he has commissioned to perform the truth of the gospel until he comes to get the righteous on that great day.

This is a demonstration of how, “If God be for you he is more than the whole world against you”. “Since God is for you, who can be against you”. As God, according to Paul’s many testimonies, demonstrated his presence by delivering Paul out of them all; until God’s determination that Paul had successfully completed his course and had kept the faith, even so now God is with us; if we trust him.

This is Jesus, praying to the father on behalf of the original disciples that were made Apostles. He pray to the father to keep the apostles encouraged as they will go out to minister, against great opposition and not to give up when confronted with adversity. He told the father that the words that the He gave Him He gave them to his disciples, and they received them. Also that He sent them out as sheep in the midst of wolves. He also prayed to the father, for those that would receive the word from those apostles and from generation to generation. He prayed for us.

This is one of David’s prayers to the Lord to deliver him from his enemies, and to cause the people at large to be triumphant.

And even until these days our Lord Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, the propitiation for the sins humanity, that has provided opportunity to humanity to live life in abundance is still rejected. But woe to them that reject Him. Please don’t turn Him away!!

God reaches out to everyone with his love, his word, and his desire for their salvation. However, Jesus makes the point here that more people live their lives enjoying and giving heed to the secular pleasures of this world, that hinders; than those that give diligent heed to God’s promises, his mercy, his grace, his compassion, and his kindness; from whence comes salvation. Many hear God’s plan of salvation but don’t live so.

Here we see again the agape’ love of God through His son, Jesus to Christ. Jesus warned his disciples of the forthcoming atrocities that will be impose upon the church by nonbelievers, those that don’t know the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ and don’t know that they don’t know. These are the teachers and preachers without the indwelling of the Christ of God, by the baptism of the Holy Ghost. However the church is reminded that for those that believe and embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ in the end when Jesus comes to get the righteous at the great resurrection shall be caught up to meet Him in the air.
