Honor and Obey.

                                                                         Honor and Obey. First Commandment With A Promise; God Cannot Lie. Be ye therefore followers of God, “As Dear Children”; and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour.   (Ephesians 5:1-2) Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother-which is the first commandment “With A Promise”-so that “It may go well with you” and “that you may enjoy long life on the earth”.   (Ephesians 6:1-3)   As Adults we Honor and Obey God,  as Children we Honor and Obey Parents. In Our Daily Nugget Paul is telling the adults to be followers of God, “As Dear Children”, and he is telling the children to Ho...

Condemnation Brings Condemnation.

                                                       Condemnation Brings Condemnation. The Wisdom in “Refusing To Condemn”. Being Slow to Speak and Quick to Listen; will Avoid Condemnation. Do not say what is wrong in other people’s lives.   Then other people will not say what is wrong in your life.   You will be guilty of the same things you find in others. When you say what is wrong in others, “your words” will be used to say what is wrong in you.   (Matthew 7:1-2) What is the Purpose for Condemning? Words Have Creative Power That Leads to “Life or Death”. Our Daily Nugget, “If Obeyed”, will be Salvation for us from a Great Deal of Calamity.   Our Words “will” bring forth “life or death”.   When we “Say” what is wrong in other people’s lives, our words will be used to “Say What Is Wrong In Our Lives”.   When we fini...

Servants.

                                                                               Servants. “Serve” The Lord “First”, by Serving Others. Not so with you.   Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave to all.   For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.   (Mark 10:43-45) When we “Serve The Lord First”, “Everything Else Falls In Place”. In our Daily Nugget we have Jesus’ reply to two brothers, James and John, two of Jesus’ Disciples, who had asked him to let them sit next to him, one on the right and one on the left, when he sit on His Throne in Heaven.   The other ten disciples were mad at them for asking this.   Maybe they were mad bec...

Say The Word.

                                                                          Say The Word. Jesus has given us the Authority to “Say The Word”.. So Jesus went with them.   He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him” “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof".   That is why I didn’t even consider myself worthy to come to you.   But “Say The Word” and my servant will be healed.   For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me.   I tell this one ‘Go’ and he goes; and that one ‘Come’, and he comes.   I say to my servant,’Do this,’ and he does it.”   (Luke 7:6-8) The Centurion Knew that The Word is Enough to “Bring Deliverance”. Our Daily Nugget is an example of what “Exercised Faith”,  ...

Live The Life.

                                                                           Live The Life. You Love the Lord; “Live The Life”. As a prisoner of the Lord, then I urge you to “Live A Life” worthy of the calling you have received.   Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another “In Love”.   Make every effort to keep the “Unity of the Spirit” through “The Bond of Peace”.   (Ephesians 4:1-3) No One Lights A Lamp and Puts It Under a Bush. Our Daily Nugget is about Unity and Maturity In The Body of Christ. Anything that is Born, Must Grow and Mature; “Including Christians”. The Bible describes “What Unity and Maturity” look like when Christians “Live The Life”; Religion nor Tradition describes this.   Different Religions and Different Traditions have their rules an...

The Blood Cried.

                                                                           The Blood Cried. The Blood of Abel “Cried To God”, for Justice. The Lord said, “What have you done”?   Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.   Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.   When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you.   You will be a restless wanderer on earth.    (Genesis 4:10-12) Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that “There is No Such Thing As A Secret. The Cry of Justice is Heard by God Today; when we do wrong to One Another. Justice - Acting in harmony with God’s Holy Character.   Rather than an abstract, punitive legal concept, it is a relati...

Rewards.

                                                                             Rewards.   Our Conduct and Our Deeds, Earns Us “Rewards”. The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.   Who can understand it?   I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to “Reward Each Person According To Their Conduct”, “According To What Their Deeds Deserve”.   (Jeremiah 17:9-10) We Shall Reap, What We Sow! If the action was right, the reward will be enjoyable. For every action there is a reaction; the Bible calls the reactions, Rewards. Rewards - God’s recompense for human actions.   Good and Bad actions. Our Daily Nugget is a Warning to us about our Heart (Mind).   Our Heart (Mind) is not only Deceitful, but it is Deceitful “Above All Things”.   Our Heart (Mi...
