Daily Devotional – The Simplicity that is in Christ

August 9, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

“For I am JEALOUS over you with GODLY jealousy: for I have ESPOUSED you to ONE HUSBAND, that I may PRESENT you as a CHASTE VIRGIN to CHRIST. But I FEAR, lest by any means, as the SERPENT BEGUILED EVE through his subtilty, so your MINDS should be CORRUPTED from the SIMPLICITY that is in CHRIST.” (2 Cor 11:2-3)

Did you know that the Apostles, unlike philosophers etc., used great plainness of speech? “Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:” (2 Cor 3:12) Did you know that the scriptures as spiritually discerned? “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Cor 2:14) Have you correctly applied the plan of salvation given to all of mankind? This is the simplicity that is in Christ. “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” (Jn 3:5) “Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” (Lk 24:45-47) The plan of salvation for all of mankind is “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” (Acts 2:38) “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;” (Jn 17:20) “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.” (Col 3:17) This is the simplicity that is in Christ. “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:” (2 Cor 4:3)

Daily Devotional – Their Minds were Blinded

August 8, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

And not as Moses, which put a VAIL over his FACE, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look TO THE END of that which is ABOLISHED: But their MINDS were BLINDED: for until this day REMAINETH the same VAIL untaken away in the READING of the OLD TESTAMENT; which VAIL is DONE AWAY IN CHRIST. But even unto THIS day, when Moses is READ, the VAIL is upon THEIR HEART. (2 Cor 3:13-15)

Did you know that God has a separate covenant with the children of Israel after the fulness of the gentiles come in? “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.” (Rm 11:25-28)

Daily Devotional – When Moses went in before the LORD

August 7, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face. But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded. And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him. (Ex 34:33-35)

Moses, the man of God, received the two tables of stone containing that which was to be abolished in Christ. That stone the builders rejected! The same stone became the head of the corner! “Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;” (Eph 2:11-15)

Daily Devotional – When Moses came down from Mount Sinai

August 6, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

“And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.” (Ex 34:29-30)

When developing a closer relationship with Jesus Christ in examination of your walk with God, how close of a relationship do you have with God? Are you trustworthy like Moses or others in the Bible? Do you place God first in your life above all others and all else? Moses did. Abraham did. The patriarchs did. The prophets did. The apostles did. We are to be Christ like. “But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” (1 Jn 2:5-6) “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.” (Jms 4:8)

Daily Devotional – The Olive Tree

August 5, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

“For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.” (Rm 11:16-18)

It is important that as Gentiles you don’t boast against Israel as your branches came from a wild olive tree and were ingrafted in among them. “Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;” (Eph 2:11-19)

Daily Devotional – Those who Obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ

August 4, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

“And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.” (2 Thess 1:7-10)

Do you see how important it is to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ? To obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ you need to understand what the Bible teaches us. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Tim 2:15) “Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:” (Isa 28:9-10) If you are disobedient to the gospel of Jesus Christ and have not a love of the truth we are told that when the anti-christ comes God will send strong delusion to believe a lie and be damned. “And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2 Thess 2:8-12)

Daily Devotional – The Day of the Lord so cometh as a Thief

August 3, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

But of the TIMES and the SEASONS, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For YOURSELVES KNOW perfectly that the DAY of the Lord so cometh as a THIEF in the night. For when they shall say, PEACE and SAFETY; then sudden DESTRUCTION cometh upon them, as TRAVAIL upon a WOMAN with CHILD; and they shall NOT ESCAPE. (1 Thes 5:1-3)

Did you know that the Apostle Paul is referring back to the Old Testament prophecy from Isaiah? However, he adds to it that the day of the Lord comes as a thief. We know from other passages of scriptures that this is referring to the catching away of the saints better known as the rapture. Look carefully at what the Prophet Isaiah says and you will see that this is what the Apostle Paul was speaking of. “Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt: And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.” (Isa 13:6-8) This also is what Luke was speaking of when he said, “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” (Lk 21:25-27)

Daily Devotional – To Execute Judgment upon All

August 2, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

HOWL YE; for the DAY of the LORD is at HAND; it shall come as a DESTRUCTION from the ALMIGHTY. Therefore shall ALL hands be faint, and EVERY man’s HEART shall melt: And they shall be AFRAID: PANGS and SORROWS shall take HOLD of them; they shall be in PAIN as a WOMAN that TRAVAILETH: they shall be AMAZED one at another; their FACES shall be as FLAMES. Isaiah 13:6-8

Did you know the that this is speaking of the wrath of God that is to be brought forth? “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” (Jude 14-15)

Daily Devotional – That Prophet

August 1, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken.) Behold the Lamb of God! Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. (Text from: Deut 18:15, Jn 1:29 , Lk 13:35, Zec 14:3)

Did you know that Jesus was that Prophet that would be raised up like unto Moses? “I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.” (Deut 18:18) “For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.” (Acts 3:22-23) Jesus came to take away the sin of the world. “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (Jn 1:29) Jesus just two days prior to his death spoke of Jerusalem saying, “Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.” (Lk 13:35) When Jesus returns again the second time to the earth, at the Mount of Olives with all his saints with him, is when the nation of Israel will be losing the battle of Armageddon. Knowing this prophecy from Zechariah it will come to pass they will discover who their Messiah is and will say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Daily Devotional – Let us Cleanse Ourselves from All Filthiness of the Flesh and Spirit

July 30, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (2 Cor 7:1) Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: (Heb 12:14) for he is faithful that promised. (Heb 10:23b) Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? (Lk 18:8b)

Did you know that without living a holy life as well as following after peace that you will not see the Lord? “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:15-16) “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” (2 Tim 2:19)
