Scripture is read from the king James version of the Holy Bible with some explanation; followed with a quote made by some of history’s prominent and famous individuals, and the closing is with prayers. The hope here is to brighten the day for some and hopefully inspire others about the intended purpose of Christianity and that is to seek God for salvation from this untoward generation made possible by our resurrected Lord, Jesus, the Christ.

Here we should learn that when we the people of God seek Him in sincerity and in truth He gets joy. When He gets joy He will grant unto us the petitions that we require of Him. God rewards righteousness and reverence and obedience to Him. However, when we go away from following His instructions He will recompense us with His vengeance.…

Here we should learn that when God enables us to recognize that He is making a change, and He is making choices in our life, we should not become bitter, but become aggressive in promoting God‘s plan. David went above and beyond in giving to build the house of the Lord, and he blessed the Lord for allowing his son to succeed him as king. Let us tak…

When there is rebellion against God and His people, and rejection of His instructions, it is fruitless to think that God will demonstrate mercy; unless there is true repentance. The king was sick, and rather than seeking God, he sought to idle gods. Therefore, the word from the Lord that he would not be delivered was proven true because he did not …

The wisdom here is to never allow yourself to be lured into philosophy or doctrine that contradicts what has been proven in your life. That is the truth of God learned from His Word, by the indwelling of the Christ of God. By this wisdom we learn and understand the intended purpose of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the courage to stand firm.…

We can learn here that God does not appreciate boasting and bragging. If we follow through with God’s commands and desires and if we make reparations for violations of the rule God he will turn away the indignation imposed upon humanity. As with the current indignation/pestilence/COVID-19 and inclement weather like hurricane Laura can be turned awa…

Saul goes after David, who again spares Saul's life. David exhorts Saul and Saul acknowledges his sin. We learn here that as believers we cannot and must not allow non-believers to make us act like them; in not following the desires of God. When we refuse to conduct our lives in ways that do not reflect reverence and respect for the will of God we …

Sometimes life seems so cold. But don’t give up on God; for in the case of the righteous, better days are coming. God is the all seeing eye, and is everywhere all the time; knowing everything all the time; and has the power to do anything; all the time. When Noami thought that she had lost it all she never waivered in her character causing her daug…

This is another example of the agape’ love of our God. Even after he had punished His people for disobedience, idolatry, and rebellion with captivity by their enemies He provided a way for deliverance. The way of and the leader of deliverance was very unlikely, but look, we are talking about God. So hold fast to your faith and be courageous, you co…

Obedience to God is the absolute answer for all that we do and be. Hide the word, the commandments of God in your heart and God will always be there for you; in the furnace, in the den, in the water, in the wind, even in quiet; with healing, deliverance, prosperity, and most importantly, salvation. God never fails.…

In this passage of scripture we are reminded that when we walk in obedience to the charge and the command of God He will always be there for us. God uses, as always, His spiritual leaders to speak to His sheep by the Holy Ghost. When we humble ourselves and walk in obedience to the commands of God we shall do well.…

We learn here that we can know how to manage our lives now, as God was so kind in those days to let His people know that He would always be there for the righteous and that He would punish those that go contrary through disobedience to His instructions. God rewards obedience and when we delight in Him He will give us our hearts desire. And as we kn…

This part of history speaks much wisdom to humanity. Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law took his daughter, Moses’ wife, and his grandsons to Moses in the wilderness after Israel’s deliverance from Egypt. This created the opportunity for Moses to let the people see him as a father and husband. Then Jethro realized the burdens upon Moses as he met to instr…

The apostle John salutes the seven churches of Asia; and declares when, where, and how, the revelation of Jesus Christ was made to him; to declare it to the Pastors of the seven churches in Asia Minor. We see that God allowed the Apostle, who was caught in the presence of God that he would understand what God wanted man to understand. He gave it to…

Here the apostle exhorts the church to stedfastness in the faith. He warns the people of the potential danger of being infected by false teachers and preachers, of the dreadful punishment which shall be inflicted on them and their followers. The man of God here provides some insight and an awful description of gospel seducers and their deplorable e…

Here again we learn the importance and power of effectual and sincere prayer. This prayer is for brother Gaius to regain his health and possessions that were wrongfully taken. The wisdom of this prayer is for us to follow the doctrine of Jesus Christ, no matter what and God will be with us. Our God is the restorer and repairer of all breaches, and …

In this letter of commendation to a particular mother in the church for her demonstration of love and obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ. She is praised for her nurturing her children in the same fashion in that they too, demonstrate love and compassion. As opposed to inciting division among the people. We are today admonished by the Lord to w…

Brotherly love is the effect of the new birth, which makes obedience to all God's commandments pleasant. Reference to witnesses agreeing to prove that Jesus, the Son of God, is the true Messiah. The satisfaction the believer has about Christ, and eternal life through him. The assurance of God's hearing and answering prayer. The happy condition of t…

The wisdom here is a reminder of Christ's final coming to judgement; and that He will appear and when he does the people won’t be ready, and I might say, even now by what we see and hear and are experiencing it is very rare to find readiness for the Lord Jesus Christ. As we know God destroyed the whole world by water, except for Noah and his family…

This scripture today helps us to understand that we are to clean up our lives from walking after the flesh, and seek to understand the charge that God has put on the regenerated believer. That is to be demonstrators of the scriptures; because we have been chosen by God with the indwelling of His spirit to perform the things that the flesh cannot do…

In this chapter we learn that God was using the Apostle to address the issues in the lives of the believers. Believers are charged by God to follow His plan of salvation, and be encouraged to not entangle themselves in the folly of non-believers. God’s controversy with the people is after all He has done the people are adhering to rudiments of the …

God‘s inspiration for the writing of this excerpt of scripture is to remind us of the extent to which He went to affirm the redemption of, and salvation for, all of humanity. He gave his only begotten son, made in the form of a man, and not an angel. This was His wisdom for us all to know that He is not a respector of persons. Whosever will, let hi…

This story epitomizes true love. Paul praises the brethren for their love for him is thankful for how they constantly aided him. But now he is asking them to demonstrate that same love to brother Onesimus who has been born again now, and helping him. This is a story of love and trust, and more importantly, forgiveness. When one has been forgiven th…

Here Apostle Paul greets Bishop/Pastor Titus and provides instruction and wisdom from experience as to how he should move forward in his ministry. Paul admonished Titus to address the issue of false teaching by those that are doing it for personal financial gain; rather than teaching the truth of the gospel; that then, and even now, a severe hindra…

Here Paul solemnly charges Timothy to be diligent, though many will not hear nor accept sound doctrine. He enforces the charge by mentioning his martyrdom, soon to come. He asks Timothy to get in a hurry to get to him and be sure to bring his books and his notes and writing materials. He cautions Timothy, and complains of how the brothers he depend…

During these times as were in the era of the Apostle Paul and his spiritual son Timothy we should give earnest heed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. There were then, as now, some that are teaching from the gospel of Jesus Christ, but they don’t know that they don’t really understand the intended purpose of the gospel, which depicted by their life sty…

We learn here how Paul blessed the Thessalonians for their faithfulness and their concern for each other. He also requested their prayers for him as he would against much opposition go on to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He also then as we should today beware of the people we allow into our lives; people that make it obvious that they don’t re…

The apostle is speaking to the household of believers and reminding them that as Gentiles they were not wanted as being a part of the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. But through the teaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ the Gentiles received salvation as well as the Jews. Paul reminded them that he and the ones that laboured with him preaching th…

We should learn how we are admonished from experience how to treat others; whether believers or not. Persons that have supervision over others should be very mindful of the wisdom of Jesus Christ; as you would that others do unto you do ye also unto them. When we remain faithful in prayer and demonstration of the gospel of Jesus Christ we please Go…

The apostle cautions the Philippians against judaizing false teachers, and renounces his own former privileges. Using the wisdom demonstrated by Paul we today should be cautious when others try to get us to turn away from the truth God has allowed us to understand when they won’t repent and let God save them. Paul’s earnest desire to be found in Ch…

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. The apostle here also desires their prayers, as we today should be praying for our spiritual leaders; that are trying to help us prepare and…

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 a…

In this we understand that the apostle was telling the Corinthian church that at one point when they failed to see about his needs, he wrote a strong letter to them, but now he praises them, because they like he didn’t allow friction to come between them. All because of the love of God, with the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. We can learn here what …

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 …

This scripture teaches us that God is not concerned about our ethnicity, nationality, race, sexual gender, or possessions, but he is looking at our righteousness, to see if we are living by faith in Him, through his word and His instructions. When we find ourselves living by the instructions of the word of God, and have the indwelling of the Christ…

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,…
  continue reading
 
We learn here an example of godly wisdom. Jesus choose a man born blind and of a common life to perform a miracle. So we see here that socio-economic status in life doesn’t move God; but faith in him is what moves him. The chosen people of God, it seems, are the ones that complained and still complain about who, what, where, and how God chooses to …
  continue reading
 
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; fr…
  continue reading
 
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…

God gave the Levites instructions to teach the people, His laws and His judgments, and His statutes. But God was angry then and also now because spiritual leaders were not and are not doing their assignments appropriately, which provokes God to anger which causes Him to release His judgments, His fury, His anger, and His wrath in the land. There mu…

As It was then and is now, Satan does not rest from trying to oppress and distress the church, the professed people of God, from walking according to the desire of God. Even now, as it was then the church was in a great struggle when it came to and now comes to obedience. Satan will rest some times from oppressing God’s people further, because they…

Consistency is one of the greatest attributes of God. He always has warned before he sending destruction and devastation. Destruction and devastation would only only visit the people of God after constant disrespect and and disobedience to him. He did then and still now has proven that when the people that he blessed and prospered exercise repentan…

What we should learn from this message is that we should be patient and wait to understand our leading from the Lord. Then do what he tells us. That wisdom is in the scriptures. He lets us know here that even though the enemy may for a time ride over us and take advantage of us; the day will come that the Lord will deliver us by exacting his judgme…

Again here we see the agape’ love of God in action. Even though God punishes wrong, even with his people, but when the adversary rises up against them to suppress them even more, God will, when He decides, come to their rescue. Satan is relentless at manipulating God’s people. He uses people against people. But don’t worry you righteous ones, God i…

In this scripture, I think we can capsulize the wisdom intended for humanity and particularly the people of God, by applying another scripture; which compounds the love of God, and that is: Galatians 6:7, Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Also, we can not walk as other gentiles walk; in the va…

Selfishness can produce an unhealthy and harmful attitude. From this divine demonstration of compassion let us learn that the most effective way to perform the tasks set before us each is to simply follow instructions. And let’s be prudent enough to follow God’s instructions learned from the word of God by the directions of God’s spirit.…

God said then and we can believe that he is saying now; because he is God that cannot change; woe to the heathen or nonbelievers that won’t or don’t try to help the believer in a time of distress, but take advantage of the believer and mock them with boasting and bragging God is coming for you. He is going to exact upon the nonbelievers that laughe…
