Thought For Today - October 17
Light Up The World!
Let us Christians who love Christ shine as lights in the world, illuminating the darkness with our presence and put to shame every evil thing because it is God who worketh in us to perform his good works. We ought to work for God with fear and trembling. We work for earthly employers with fear and trembling; fear of loss of rewards if we fail to perform as we are expected. Much more we ought to work for God with fear of loss of much greater rewards if we fail to perform for him as we Christian are expected. We who are saved need to be diligent workers for the Lord.
“Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Do all things without murmuring and disputing; That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation among whom ye shine as light in the world, holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.” Philippians 2: 12-16.

Thought For Tpoday - October 16 - Lifestyle of Christians!
Thought For Today - October 16
Lifestyle of Christians!
The lifestyle of Christians ought to be such as becometh the gospel of Christ. our lives ought to be honoring to Christ in every way. The way we think; the way we speak; the way we act -ought to manifest the life of the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. All Christians are supernaturally bound together by the indwelling Holy Spirit, and ought to stand fast with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel. Christians ought to expect to be treated by the world and the enemies of Christ in the same manner as Christ was treated by the world. If the world did not want to accept the lifestyle of Christ, then we cannot expect the world to be engrossed by our Christian lifestyle if indeed Christ lives in us.
“Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel. And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.” Philippians 1: 27-30.

Thought For Today - October 15 - Jesus Never Fails!
Thought For Today - October 15
Jesus Never Fails!
Men will disappoint you, but Jesus never fails. Men will abandon you, but Jesus never will leave you nor forsake you. “When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.” Psalm 27:10. Jesus Christ our Lord and savior is one who sticks closer than a brother.
“If ye love me, keep my commandments and I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another comforter, that he may abide with you forever: even the spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” John 14: 15-17. “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him , and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” John 14: 23.
“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:6.
Put your confidence and trust in Christ, and not man. Christ is in control of all men ultimately and all elements of creation must obey him in the end.

Thought For Today - October 14
Have Faith In God!
“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” Ephesians 6: 16.
God honors the faith of the believer. We are justified by faith and the just shall live by faith. Faith in God is resting our confidence in him who is invisible whom we have not seen, but believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of all them that diligently seek him. Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness. Confidence in the reality of God and his goodness will enable us to put aside all doubts and fears and the fiery darts of the wicked and give us the strength and power we need to overcome the world. By faith in God the Red sea was crossed successfully by the Israelites. By faith in God many victories have been won. By faith in God we who are his children shall arrive safely on the opposite shore and see Jesus and be reunited with those who have gone before. Have faith in God, he cannot fail. Have faith dear friend in God.

Thought For Today - October 12 - Leaders In The Home!
Thought For Today - October 12
Leaders In The Home!
Christian husbands, you ought to assume full leadership of your home. All decisions should finally rest upon you as the head of your household as God has ordained it. And you ought to pray that God will give you wisdom in making those decisions, because you will be held responsible to God for what becomes of your wife and family spiritually as well as physically. You ought to love your wife even as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it.
As the church is the body of Christ on earth, so your wife is part of yourself. When she hurts, you ought to hurt. Her concerns ought to be your concerns Her spiritual and physical welfare ought to be your chief concern next to loving and serving God.
The one who walks beside you as your life companion; the one who sits at your table and prepares your meals; the one who makes your home comfortable and cheerful for you; the one who sleeps in your bed, raises your children, and nurses you when you are sick, among a lot of other things, is a precious gift from God your Father and ought to be honored and treasured as such.
“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church; and he is the savior of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot , or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord the church. For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. this is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself, and the wife see that she reverence her husband.” Ephesians 5: 22-33.

Thought For Today - October 11
To Serve Him!
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2: 10.
When God created us his purpose was that we should be instruments in his hands which he could use to fulfill his purpose, and bring glory to himself. When we yield ourselves to him to do his bidding we find great satisfaction, and our joy and happiness is fulfilled. Though we are all sinners and have come short of the glory of God, God has provided a way by which we can be forgiven and reconciled to him by our receiving Jesus Christ as our sin bearer and savior.
The word of God teaches us that every saved, born again child of God is given at least one spiritual gift whereby we can minister as ministering servants so that we might show forth the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all men see the glory of God. We ought to ask God to reveal to us the one or more gifts which he has assigned to us, and ask God to help us to develop it so that we might bear fruit for him.
It was always God’s will that the gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partake of his promise in Christ by the gospel whereof Paul says - “I was made a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Unto me who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ and to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: in whom we have boldness and access with confidence by faith of him. Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulation for you which is your glory.” Ephesians 3: 7-13.
It is God’s will that those around us in the world hear the gospel so that they too might see and know of the unsearchable riches of Christ. We are responsible to God to use the gifts he has given us to make this a reality. With the gift, God gives the boldness and confidence to utilize it for his glory. If we will yield ourselves to him - “God is able to do with us exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us.” Ephesians 3:20.
Someone said to D. L Moody - “It has not yet been seen What God could do with a man or woman who was totally yielded to him,” Moody is reported to have said: “By God’s grace, I want to be that man.” Moody went ahead and won two continents to Christ.
The power that works in us is the person of the Holy Spirit, and when one is willing to yield himself to the guidance and leadership of the Holy Spirit, he can be filled with all the fullness of God.”That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man: That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye being rooted and grounded in love, my be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth and height, and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen” Ephesians 3 16: 21.

Thought For Today - October 19 - Take Heed!
Thought For Today - October 10
Take Heed!
Jesus said: “Take heed that no man deceive you.” Matthew 24: 4 To take heed means to be careful, to be discerning, to analyze carefully what we hear from others, to see if what we are hearing is indeed according to truth. We hear many voices all the time. There are many so called experts in every field of endeavor offering their seminars of advice, but we need to be very careful when we listen to the advice of experts in the field of religion and theology lest we be led away from scriptural truth and be swayed by every word of false doctrines. Search the scriptures daily to determine if what you are hearing is indeed scriptural truth. This also applies to any other area of our lives. There are many counselors in many different areas of life. but be careful from whom you take advice on any subject.
God’s word tells us that : “Blessed is the man who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful, nor standeth in the way of sinners, but his delight is in the law of the Lord, in his law doth he meditate day and night, he shall be like a tree planted by the river of waters, his leaf shall not wither and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Psalm 1: 1-3.
The Word of God is a lamp unto our feet, able to guide us, and direct us wherever we go and whatever we do. Christians have a God given light that others do not have. Not that we should boast,, but that we should be wise as serpents and harmless as doves and walk in the light of knowledge that we have from God our Father.
“Let no man deceive you with vain words: For because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. for ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light. ( For the fruit of the spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth:) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord, and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them,. For it is a shane even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise redeeming the time because the days are evil wherefore be ye not unwise but understanding what the will of our Lord is” Ephesians 5: 6-17.
