Intro

Tuesday, July 7 2026
from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship

Good morning to all the saints.


Only 178 days to the year 2027

Scripture Of The Day

But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
2 Thessalonians 2:13

Read The Bible In a Year

Job 34-35 ; Acts 15:1-21

Thoughts For The Day

If I bypass prayer, my life is overlooked, if I forget to pray I forget who I am, If I feel too worthless to pray I am even less so, If I pray, heaven lights up and life fills my heart and soul... If I am shallow I will make my mind up to start praying tomorrow. The sincere are already praying right now!

A good man would prefer to be defeated than to defeat injustice by evil means.

"With God, even when nothing is happening - something is happening."

Motivation For The Day

Take that gift God has entrusted to you; and use it in the service of Christ and your fellow men. He will make it glow and shine like the very stars of heaven.

Personal Story Of The Day

I Was Not Alarmed

The silence awakened me at 5:30 one morning. There was no gentle whir of fan blades, no reassuring hum from the refrigerator. A glance out the window confirmed that a power outage had left everyone in our area without electricity just as they're getting ready for work. I realized that alarm clocks would not work, and there would be no TV news. Kettles, toasters, hair dryers, and many telephones would be useless. 

Beginning a day without power was simply an inconvenience and a disruption of routine... but it felt like a disaster. Then I thought of how often I rush into the day without spiritual power. I spend more time reading the newspaper than the Bible. Talk back radio replaces prayer. I risk reacting to difficult people and circumstances in a spirit of fear rather than the spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind that God has given us (2 Timothy 1:7). 

Leaving the Lord out of the beginning of our day is like getting up and not dressing properly, washing, or combing our hair.. Our power outage was short lived, but the lesson remains of my need to begin each day by seeking the Lord. His strength is not for my success or well-being, but so that I will demonstrate the gospel and the source of His power. 

Jokes Of The Day

Childhood: The time of life when you make funny faces in the mirror.

Middle Age: The time of life when the mirror gets even."
************************************

A mother skunk was always in a panic because she couldn't keep track of her two tiny ones. One was named Out and the other In. When Out was in, In was out. One day she saw Out but couldn't find In. She told Out to go out and bring In in. In about twenty seconds, Out brought In in. Surprised, the mother skunk asked, "How did you find him so fast?" The tiny skunk answered, "It was easy. In stinct!"

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

A man was traveling down a country road when he saw a large group of people outside a house. He stopped and asked a person why the large crowd was there.

A farmer replied, "Joe's mule kicked his mother-in-law and she died."

"Well," replied the man, "she must have had a lot of friends."

"Nope," said the farmer, "we all just want to buy his mule."

Riddle Of The Day

My silent friend
Has a face.
It has no eyes, no nose, no mouth!
Many freckles coat its face
And a patch of green hair it has.
A heart-shaped face it is said to have So tell me once and tell me here, Who is the sweet yet silent friend that I have?

Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
This is an ancient Latin riddle. Can you figure it out? A prickly house a little host contains; The pointed weapons keep back from pains,So he, unarmed, safe in his fort remains.
A hedgehog

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day


The Great Commission Is For All

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him:... Daniel 7:14. References from Luke 24:36-53; Matthew 28:16-20.

If Jesus hadn't been raised from the dead, there would be no remembrance of His birth, nor would there be a Gospel. As we've seen, God often uses one to reach many. What was true with Abraham and Israel is even more true of Jesus, who fulfils the spiritual promise to Abraham... that through him all the nations of the earth would be blessed. God's promise of redemption, begun in Genesis 3:15, is now revealed. Due to His death and resurrection, the forgiveness of sins is possible (Luke 24:47). Jesus' final words to His disciples end His earthly ministry. 

The Great Commission, recorded in today's verses, is rightly understood to be the basis for Christian outreaching. But, as we have seen, God's heart has been for all nations from the beginning. What is different at this stage in redemptive history is the command to go to all the world. In both accounts, we notice that the first response to Jesus' resurrection is worship. Next, the disciples were encouraged that they would receive power from on high (Luke 24:49), which is the Holy Spirit, and that Jesus would be with them forever (Matt 28:20).

The expression 'all the nations' is important because some suggest that the Jews have been somehow now excluded from God's plan. Yet the clause beginning at Jerusalem in Luke's account overrides this. Jesus commissioned His disciples to go from Jerusalem into all the world, making disciples of all peoples, whether Jew or Gentile, young or old, rich or poor... everyone!


Not A Secret Agent

And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD. Genesis 12:8.

Many professional athletes proudly wear a corporate logo or company colours of those who sponsor them. They have no problems at all in identifying themselves with the products and purposes of those who finance their careers. When Abraham pitched his tents near Bethel, he boldly identified himself with the Lord. God not only called him to leave family and all that was familiar, but also provided for his needs along the way.

In response, Abraham built an altar to God. This was not only an act of worship but also a public declaration to everyone who saw it that he was a worshiper of God. Furthermore, he "called on the name of the Lord"... that is, he publicly acknowledged his commitment to and need for the God of Israel. As Christians, we are to boldly identify ourselves with the Lord as well. Be prepared. This may cost you the friendship of those who prefer the praises of the world. It may mean that you will experience ridicule and rejection. But Jesus reminds us, "Whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God. But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God" (Luke 12:8-9).

Make your life sponsor known. Wherever you may be, with whomever you may be, refuse to hide your commitment to the One who loves you and provides for your salvation. Jesus suffered the shame of the cross for you; be willing to suffer the ridicule of the world for Him. We are all different and all have differing strengths; prayer and a dash of boldness will keep you in the right spot. There's no place in God's service for secret agents.
