Ephesians 6 (CJB) Children, Parents, Slaves, and Masters in the Land
1 Children, what you should do in union with the Lord is obey your parents, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother” — this is the first commandment that embodies a promise — 3 “so that it may go well with you, and you may live long in the Land.”
4 Fathers, do not irritate your children and make them resentful; instead, raise them with the Lord’s kind of discipline and guidance.
5 Slaves, obey your human masters with the same fear, trembling, and single-heartedness with which you obey the Messiah. 6 Do not obey just to win their favor, serving only when they are watching you; but serve as slaves of the Messiah, doing what God wants with all your heart. 7 Work willingly as slaves, as people do who are serving not merely human beings but the Lord. 8 Remember that whoever does good work, whether he be a slave or a free man, will be rewarded by the Lord.
9 And masters, treat your slaves the same way. Do not threaten them. Remember that in heaven both you and they have the same Master, and He has no favorites.
Jesus Christ/Messiah is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever—Hebrews 13:8
Enough is said today about disease, unrest, and ill will in our nation. There are all sorts of ‘so-called’ experts on the current events of today and believe it or not—most of these experts are the very perpetrators and the predators they espouse against.
We might ask ourselves; Where is all of this heading? Inwardly—WE KNOW, do we NOT? Our current pandemic is MAN-MADE and its effects are MAN-CONTROLLED. Our current pandemic of disobedience and riots in our streets (while not a disease) is MAN-MADE and MAN-CONTROLLED. You might wish to complain about me and disagree and frankly my dear sir or ma’am I do not give a ‘hoot’, this just simply means that you do not read the Holy Word of God, your disagreement is not with me, it is with God and HE DOES GIVE A HOOT!
I am not ashamed of God, nor am I ashamed of the Good News. For those trusting in His Word, there is POWER from God to everyone who keeps on trusting in Christ. Those who believe and trust will experience the Righteousness of God in their life because they KEEP ON trusting in God, alone.
On the other hand, there are those who have heard the Good News, but now suppress the truth of trusting, but they have rejected and become disobedient. This godless result of suppression opens the door to harsh discipline from God. While we seem to believe that this is a personal plight in one human we fail to see that this can result in national destruction when left unchecked. Like the Pilot who steers his ship into a reef, most preachers today have lost their way of TRUSTING GOD by trusting in self or some other prominent person in religious circles, it all starts with Romans 1:30 when Ephesians 6:1-9 is disregarded.

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 597

  The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 597 Today’s Kick Start! – (NKJV) Haggai 1 : 7  Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways! The Temple then, The Church now   – Haggai 1: 6  “You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.” JESUS CHRIST: He IS the same Yesterday, He IS the same Today, He Forever, IS God! Spiritually, the ‘called out’ church of Jesus Christ today has labored. In the past there was great success, but sadly in many churches today the spiritual food is like a famine. Much of our worship service is spent singing and praising a god of cymbal and brass, The pastors of these congregations are focused on making people feel good and about their self-worth, Psychology; a science of the mind and behavior of the person. These worships and teachings focu...

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 695 Today’s Kick Start! – (NKJV) 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.   Personal Obedience—(NKJV) The Lamb of God is THE LORD who meets our needs John   6   1 After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. 2  Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. 3  And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples. 4  Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. 5  Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” 6  But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do . 7  Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii...

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 593 Today’s Kick Start! – (NKJV) Habakkuk 2 4  “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. As we wait for God to Answer   – Habakkuk 2:5-20. 5  “Indeed, because he transgresses by wine, He is a proud man, And he does not stay at home. Because he enlarges his desire as hell, and he is like death, and cannot be satisfied, He gathers to himself all nations and heaps up for himself all peoples. 6  “Will not all these take up a proverb against him, And a taunting riddle against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases What is not his—how long? And to him who loads himself with many pledges’? 7  Will not your creditors rise up suddenly? Will they not awaken who oppress you? And you will become their booty. 8  Because you have plundered many nations, All the remnant of the people shall plunder you, Because of men’s blood And the violence of the land and the city, A...
