Born Again.

                                                                           Born Again. Ticket Into The Kingdom. Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the Kingdom of God unless they are born again”.   (John 3:3) You should not be surprised at my saying, “You must be Born Again”.   (John 3:7) The Light from the Kingdom is too bright for satan to enter. Our Daily Nugget is Jesus telling us that we must be Born Again, in order to Enter The Kingdom.   To be Born Again is to die to the First Birth; without this New Birth or to be Born Again, we cannot see, understand, spiritual things; “we will call that foolishness”.   To be born again is “to die to our own understanding”, and to “live based on God’s Understanding”. The Kingdom of God - Is not a physical geographical pl...

What Is Your Offering?

                                                                   What is your Offering? What Were the “Reasons” Cain Killed Abel? In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord.   And Abel also brought an offering-fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock.   The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor.   So “Cain was very angry”, and his face was downcast.   Then the Lord said to Cain, why are you angry?   Why is your face downcast?   “If You Do What Is Right”, “Will You Not Be Accepted”?   But “If You Do Not Do What Is Right” “sin is crouching at your door”; but “you must rule over it”.   (Genesis 4:3-7) Greed, Jealous and no love for The Lord. If we do not ...

Can You Drink The Cup?

                                                                  Can You Drink The Cup? Why Would One Want to “Drink The Cup”? But Jesus answered and said, “Ye know not what ye ask”.   Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?   They said unto him, we are able.   (Matthew 20:22) A Powerful Metaphor for   “Suffering, Sacrifice, and Experiencing”, “The Will Of God”. Our Daily Nugget is Jesus’ response to a mother who asked for her two sons to set with Him when He ascended to His Throne; one on Jesus’ left and one on the right.   Jesus gave two responses, “you don’t know what you ask” and “can you drink the cup”? Can You Drink The Cup?    Are You Willing to “Pay The Price”? A man would look at a man who what we would ca...

At The Name.

                                                                           At The Name. Every Knee, Means, Every Knee.   Therefore God exalted Him to the “highest place” and gave him “The Name” that is “above every name”, that at the Name of Jesus “Every Knee Should Bow”, “in heaven and on earth and under the earth”, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father.   (Philippians 2:9-11)   Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.   (Acts 4:12) Every Knee Should Bow, in   “Heaven and on Earth and Under the Earth”;   This includes Everybody and Everything; Physical and Spiritual. Our Daily Nuggets are given us The Fruit of “Exercising The Faith” that God has...

Devoted For Destruction.

                                                                  Devoted For Destruction. Do not desire “Things that are Devoted For Destruction”. But the Israelites were “unfaithful” in regard to the “devoted things”; Achan son of Karmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, “took some of them”.   So the Lord’s anger burned against Israel.   (Joshua 7:1) And Joshua said, “Alas, sovereign Lord, why did you ever bring this people across the Jordan to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us?   If only we had been content to stay on the other side of the Jordan!   (Joshua 7:7) God Expects and Demands Full Obedience; Partial Obedience is Full Disobedience; “It’s Still Sin”, bringing God’s Wrath. In our Daily Nugget The Lord told the Israelites to destroy all the things of...

Darkness to Light.

                                                                       Darkness to Light. We are “Saved to Save”. “YOU” Are “The Light” For The Dark World. But YOU are “A Chosen People”, “A Royal Priesthood”, “A Holy Nation”, “God’s Special Possession”, “That YOU May Declare the Praises of Him” who called you “Out Of Darkness Into The Wonderful Light”.   (1 Peter 2:9). We are to be “The Light” for a Dark World; “Without Us, They’re Lost”. Our Daily Nugget is saying to us that, we have been called out of darkness to “Declare The Praises of Jesus”.   We are “Christ’s Representatives”; commit to Representing Well; to be Light.   Each morning when we rise, it is wise to tell ourselves that “We Are Christ’s Representatives”; the world is depending on ME to Declare Christ to them. Kingdom Citizens hav...

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...
