God’s Word And Daily Prayer For Today

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 end; falling into the hands of the living God. The...

John the elder/pastor prays for brother Gaius, a very compassionate, faithful, reliable, genuine Saint in the church that was suffering with poor health and that while sick some had illegally, deceitfully, and intentionally taken his possessions. 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...

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 walk by the same rule in the same understanding of...

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 true believers, and a charge to renounce all idolat...

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, but promised it will be dissolved by fire next t...

Here Peter exhorts and encourages the elders. He also admonishes the younger Christians to submit to their elders, and to yield with humility and patience to God, and to be sober, watchful, and stedfast in faith. To cast all their cares upon God; as we should today. Lastly he Prays for their growth and establishment in obedience to the Christian doctrine.

The judgments of God denounced against rich unbelievers. Exhortation to patience and meekness under tribulations. Cautions against rash swearing Prayer recommended in afflictive and prosperous circumstances, Christians to confess their faults to each other. The happiness of being the means of the conversion of a sinner.

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 him come. Repentance for sin and belief in God throu...

The Man of God here makes request for forgiveness and acceptance of a brother, Onesimus, that had committed a wrong to another brother, Philemon. Onesimus, in a new environment with Paul had been reconciled to God and was helpful to Paul. However, Paul wanted reconciliation for Onesimus with Philemon. Paul encouraged Philemon to remember his own history. This is wisdom for all of us today; let’s u...

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 hindrance for salvation from the darkness of ignorance o...

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 depended on had deserted him; and expresses how even tho...

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 styles. People of God, follow the holy scriptures and...

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 reverence and acknowledge God. When people in our li...

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 the gospel unto them without being a burden unto the...

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 God and his favor will envelope us.

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 is to be found in Christ; also his pressing on toward perfection is...

All Christians are admonished to treat each other with respect no matter who they are or whatever their socio-economic status and 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, regener...

Here we find admonition from the Apostle to the Galatian church to be mindful of the truth that has justified them was by faith and not by the law. He reminding them of the promise Hod made to Abraham. By Jesus Christ and the in dwelling of the Christ of God by regeneration even the gentiles are saved; because of God’s promise to Abraham; the Father of Faith, according to the flesh.

Paul is writing here a second time to the same church. He is very adamant about following the instructions of the gospel of Jesus Christ. There were many of them that were falling away from the truth. He said to the church then as it applies to the church now, that we that know we have been commissioned by God to help people come out of darkness into the marvelous light of God we must not be deter...

There is admonition here to get rid of division and unite in Christianity. Jesus came and taught his followers to be of the same mind and declare the same testimony about the intended purpose of the gospel of Christ. Looking then at the division in the world and even in Christianity today we should understand the obvious actions of God. Let’s unite believers and defy division among us.

We are admonished by the apostle and reminded that we cannot please God living contrary to his instructions. But, if we live by his word, we know and have assurance by the in dwelling of the Christ of God; that in that great day when Jesus shall descend in the clouds with the trump of God, coming to get the righteous ones of God, we will be able to go back with him.

Some understanding derived from this part of scripture is that God does not forsake his own. Like then even now non-believers tried to stop the promotion of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They tried to stop it by putting Jesus own the cross; but he is our risen Lord and Saviour. They tried to stop Christianity by murdering the Apostles; but them became martyrs and furthered the spread of the gospel o...

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 demonstrate his love and compassion. Thank God tha...

Again, we see the agape’ love of God. This scripture is provided for our edification and exhortation. When and if we commit sin we have an advocate with the father; Jesus Christ, the righteous. However we go astray, true repentance made from an honest heart moves God. When people hold fast to the gospel, from this example, should not want to hold people guilty when they repent ; but rather rejoice...

The wisdom discovered here warned the believers then and warns us even now that to just talk about the gospel of Jesus Christ and not do what it teaches is what defiled them then and us now. Beware of those that teach the gospel and don’t do what it teaches and choose to follow those that teach and do. Jesus taught that a man must be born again and those that followed his teachings were filled wit...
