I will give you what you have not asked for—both wealth and honor—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. (I Kings 3:13) |

Dear
Friend,
If you do not already have a habit of gathering daily manna the first thing in the morning (we can look at the example given to us in Exodus 16 and find the pattern for make it a habit. Establish your life and your schedule to allow you the necessary time to do your daily collection first thing every morning to give you the strength to make it through the day. And remember that today’s manna will not be sufficient for tomorrow; tomorrow’s manna must be collected tomorrow morning. Friday, March 28, 2025
Today's Passage : Today's Passage: Exemplary Believers Bible Verse:Thessalonians 1:1 "So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia" Message:
We can only agree with Edith Wharton, the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction, who observed, “There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”
Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12). The church in Thessalonica reflected this light so much as to become an example to other believers in the whole region of Macedonia and Achaia. Apostle Paul and his companions (Silvanus and Timotheus) were glad to see the positive effect of the gospel preached by them in the lives of church members. The people received the gospel wholeheartedly and with conviction. They became followers of the ministers (sharing the same belief and conduct) even amid persecution and with Holy Spirit-inspired joy.
Producing such strong Christians does not happen by chance. In the case of the Thessalonian church, it started with the quality of the message they received and the ample work of the Holy Spirit among them. The gospel that Paul and his companions preached to them did not stem from mere wisdom of men marked by psychological and emotional manipulations. The pure gospel produced a significant change in their hearts and lives. Miraculous manifestations and Spirit-induced convictions followed, and they modelled the lifestyle of the ministers who taught them. The results are usually sound and exemplary Christians wherever these factors are present.
In these days of borderline Christianity, deception and self-delusion, it is necessary to examine our spiritual lives to ensure we are on the same page with God. Like the Thessalonian believers, we must embrace the gospel with all our hearts, not picking and choosing what tickles our fancy. We must seek the Lord sincerely and allow the Holy Spirit to work in us. We must stick with proven gospel ministers who demonstrate Christ’s doctrines through their teaching and lifestyle. This is how we can become solid and exemplary Christians.
Meditation : Prayer : Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. |
