Personal Story Of The Day

Making The Right Choice.
 
While visiting a contact's home, I saw these words displayed on a wall plaque: "You love Jesus only as much as you love the person you love the least." I squirmed at those revealing words. Later I found similar words in 1John 4:20, "He who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?"

After that I often caught myself criticizing others while overlooking my own glaring faults. If I served the Lord only as much as I served the people I criticized, then I loved Jesus very little. This grieved and frustrated me, as I seemed unable to serve the Lord and others as I should. 

In 1John 4:10, we learn that the key to knowing love isn't found in our love for God, but rather in His love for us. He showed the depth of His love in Jesus' sacrificial death for our sins. That's our example. "If God so loved us, we also ought to love one another" (v.11). This was done with actions, not with feelings; Jesus made the right choices at the right time... when needed.

The encouragement in 1Corinthians to not come behind in any gift and the further encouragement to use the voice gifts of the spirit to edify each other... are simply telling us how we can and should love each other. Do you desire to serve Jesus Christ more? Do you want to grow in the spirit and build faith and confidence that you currently lack? 

Start with loving (serving) the people around you. Remember, loving the Lord and loving others always go together. 

Jokes Of The Day

As the Father laid on the couch watching cable TV, his son, all dressed for Church entered the room. "Dad?" he said, "I have a question."

"What's that boy?" replied the father, never even removing his eyes from the screen.

"When am I going to be old enough not to go to Church either?"

************************************

A father was reading Bible stories to his young son. He read, "The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city, but his wife looked back and was turned to salt."

His son asked, "What happened to the flea?"

************************************

A big-city California lawyer went duck hunting in rural Texas. He shot and dropped a duck, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence from where the lawyer shot.
As the lawyer started to climb over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked him just what the heck he thought he was doin'.
The lawyer responded, "I shot a duck and it fell into this field, and now I'm going to retrieve it."
The old farmer replied, "You just hold on a dadburn minute. This is my property, and thar's no way yur comin' over that thar fence."
The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the U.S. and if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything you own!
The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we do things down here in Texas. We settle small disagreements like this with the 'Texas Three-Kick' rule."
The lawyer asked, "What is the 'Texas Three-Kick Rule'?"
The farmer replied, "Well, first I kick you three times, and then you kick me three times, and so on, back and forth, 'till someone gives."
The attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old codger. He agreed to abide by the local custom.The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and ambled up to the city feller. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy work boot into the lawyer's shins, causing him to hop on one foot. His second kick knocked the man right off his feet. With the lawyer flat on his back the farmer's third kick caused him to see stars.
The lawyer summoned every bit of his will, managed to get to his feet and said, "Okay, you old coot! Now it's my turn!"
The old farmer smiled and said,
"No way, mister, I give up.
You can have the duck!"

Answer to Yesterday's Riddle
What is the difference between a school boy studying and a farmer watching his cattle?

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day


The Name and Power of Jesus

Having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Hebrews 1:4.

There is enormous power in the name of Jesus. His name is not merely a first name nor an ending to a prayer. All that God is and has is encompassed in His name. 

To come in the name of someone means to come on behalf of that person. It means to come with all that person has. 

A name at the bank is worth only as much as what is in the account. 

To come in the name of the law means to come with everything the law represents and has the ability to enforce. 

To come in the name of Jesus is to come with the backing of heaven. All that Jesus accomplished through His death and resurrection, when He ascended to heaven, is represented in His name. 

The name stands for the person. The name represents all the person is, his values, his authority, and his ability and power.

Thus, when Jesus gives us authority to use His name; it is Jesus Himself who comes through the power of the Holy Ghost. He has placed His strength, presence, authority and ability in His name. 

Satan, and everything associated with him, must flee at the name of Jesus. Satan knows he has been conquered and that the name of Jesus represents this victory. Satan does not want people to discover the power that is available to those who follow in the ways of Christ.

Paul identified himself as an ambassador. Ambassadors represent the country they come from in a foreign land, with the real time backing of the government they represent. Ephesians 6:20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. Even though Paul was rejected, jailed and treated poorly at times; he still had the authority of God to do his will and use his power. 

He understood that the power in him was not cancelled by the unbelief of others, nor their evil plans against him... he still had the backing of Jesus, to do what he did. Not only did he bring blessing and hope to people who were failed by their worldly leadership, he managed to write the larger part of the New Testament as well.

When we pray to God, in Jesus' name and through the Holy Spirit; it is as if Jesus Himself, is conversing with God. And Jesus always received answer to prayer. Jesus did not tell us to go out and fix the world in our own strength. He told us to go out to the entire world in His name. 

In my name, Jesus said, 'you will cast out demons. You will speak with new tongues. You will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover' (Mark 16:17-18). Fantastic things happen because of the power associated in the name of Jesus.
