from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship

Today may be a day of great blessing...


Only 123 days to the year 2027

Scripture Of The Day

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1 John 4:1

Read The Bible In a Year

Psalms 132-134 ; 1 Corinthians 11:17-34

Thoughts For The Day

The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score.

Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.

Motivation For The Day

If you let fear of consequence prevent you from following your deepest instinct, then your life will be safe, uneventful and lacking in miracles.

Personal Story Of The Day


Royalty For The Fallen

... Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. Matthew 21:5. References from Mark 11:1-26. 

After attempting to keep a low profile, the triumphal entry marked Jesus' public declaration to Israel that He had come as their Messiah. Zechariah 9:9, a prophecy viewed as messianic by Jesus' contemporaries, predicted that Israel's future king would come in righteousness and having salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. 

The action of the crowd in spreading garments and palm branches in the road before Christ reflected the kind of homage usually paid to royalty (2 Kings 9:13). As the multitude cheered, they quoted Psalm 118:26, one of the Psalms usually sung during the Feast of Tabernacles and at Passover. Sadly, some of the crowd that hailed Jesus as king on this Sunday would call for His crucifixion a few days later. 

Our Lord did not enter Jerusalem like a conquering king but as a lowly servant. He did not ride on a war horse but on a borrowed donkey. His royal procession was not made up of lords and nobles but of fishermen, publicans, and sinners. He did not come to claim a crown of gold and a royal throne but a crown of thorns and a cross.

Jokes Of The Day

The blonde's husband passed away and she called 911. The 911 operator told the blonde that she would send someone out right away.

"Where do you live?" asked the operator.

the blonde replied, "At the end of Eucalyptus Drive."

The operator asked, "Can you spell that for me?"

There was a long pause and finally she said, "How 'bout if I drag him over to Oak Street and you pick him up there?"

A week later the man returns and says, "Give me 200 baby chickens." The co-op man complies.

Again, a week after the man returns. This time he says, "Give me 500 baby chickens."

"Wow!" the co-op man replies. "You must really be doing well!"

"Naw," said the man with a sigh. "I'm either planting them too deep or too far apart!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day


Working at Blessings

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis 2:24. References from Mark 10:1-16. 

In his book Every Second Counts, six-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong laments that he did not work as hard on his marriage as he did on his racing career (he cheated on his racing): 'All I knew was that in trying to do everything, we'd forgotten to do the most important thing', he writes. 'We forgot to be married. People warn you that marriage is hard work, but you don't listen.' 

People talk about the pretty bridesmaids' dresses, but they don't talk about what happens next; about how difficult it will be to stay or to rebuild. Armstrong is not alone in his sad discovery. Recent surveys indicate that nearly half of all marriages today will end in divorce. In addition to the obvious toll such a trend takes on the partners in the relationship, there is a tremendous cost to the children of couples who seek divorce. 

While many Christians are concerned today that recent efforts to legalize gay marriages undermine the family; not enough is said about the threat to the institution of marriage posed by 'easy' divorce. Jesus recognized the danger and came to restore marriage and the family to God's original intent through His teaching. Some of the rabbis of Jesus' day taught that a husband could divorce his wife for any reason. 

Others believed that immorality was the only ground for divorce. A woman who was sent away by her husband could not challenge the divorce and was often reduced to poverty. According to Jesus, God's intent is that marriage lasts for a lifetime. A divorce, while valid in the civil court, may not necessarily be valid in the eyes of God (some are). Jesus showed a similar concern for children. Although Scripture taught that children were a blessing from the Lord, they did not enjoy much status in Jesus' day. 

It was not uncommon for unwanted children to be abandoned. Christ's disciples showed little interest in the children being brought to Jesus for blessing and even seemed to regard them as something of a nuisance. Jesus indicated that children were welcome in the kingdom. He was as eager to bless them as their parents were to have them blessed.


The Power Of A Guarantee

Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. Job 32:9. 

When we buy a product, especially an expensive item such as a car or a computer, we want to know what guarantees come with it. What does the company that made the item promise to do for the one who bought it? If it ceases to function six months after we purchase it, will the manufacturer guarantee to replace it at no cost to the buyer? What if we're simply not satisfied with the way it works? Can it be returned? Next to the price, the guarantees that come with a product can be the most influential selling point.

The fourth friend of Job, Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, made a valid observation. The youngest of those seeking to help Job during his time of trouble, he declared that there are no guarantees in life. As he considered the advice given by his more esteemed colleagues, it was obvious to him that they were off base. He realized that their reputed greatness didn't guarantee their wisdom, nor did the fact that they were older than he, mean that they understood justice. 

Nothing about life is guaranteed. Yet for those who have placed their faith in Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, life is not that gloomy. It is still true that following certain practices will not guarantee a particular result. Godly parents have raised prodigal children. Committed Christians have contracted incurable diseases. Devout believers have lost all their possessions. But God does make this guarantee... eventually everything will turn out all right. 

He promises, "All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Rom 8:28). That's the best guarantee of all. Face it... you have no guarantees in life. But God is able to assist your life and make it fit into His guarantee. Whatever happens to you, God guarantees He will use it for your good.
