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)

Daily Devotional – The Cup of Life

July 29, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

The Cup of Life, being born again! The body of sin put to Death!! A New Creature the Lord has made! For obedience in His name!! The Cup of Wisdom poured out from above! Foreordained from the only Just One. Predestinated according to His Will! Purge yourself for you are part of Him! Until Time be taken out of the way! So that all things can be fulfilled! Behold, the Ancient of Days!!! World without end!!!

“Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.” (Jn 6:53) “After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.” (1 Cor 11:25) “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;” (Heb 2:14) “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2 Cor 5:17) “By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:” (Rm 1:5) “I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” (Jn 6:51) “And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.” (Acts 22:14) “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” (Rev 13:8) “In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:” (Eph 1:11) “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) “For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.” (Eph 5:30) “And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:” (Rev 10:6) “Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.” (Dan 7:22) “Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” (Eph 3:21)

Daily Devotional – Who is he that is a son of God

July 28, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

Who is he that is a son of God but he that is born of God. Who is he that is born of God but he that is born of water and of the Spirit. Who is he that is born of water but he that is baptized into his death. Who is he that is baptized into his death but he that is to walk in newness of life. Who is he that my Spirit will dwell in but he that is born of the Word. Who is he that is born of the Word but he who hears and obeys.

Do you understand how to be born again? Are you one that hears and obeys? “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (Jn 1:12-13) “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) “Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” (Rm 6:3-4) “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” (1 Peter 1:23) “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) This is the only way to be born again; by applying Acts 2:38 in your life.

Daily Devotional – Despise not thou the Chastening of the Lord

July 27, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. (Heb 12:5-8)

Are you a son of God or do you resist chastisement? “If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons”. “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” (Rm 8:14-18)

Daily Devotional – For Consider Him that Endured such Contradiction of Sinners against Himself

July 26, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross (Heb 12:1-2a) For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself…. (Heb 12:3a)

What is stealing your time away that is causing you not to produce fruit for the kingdom of God? What is the weight(s) or the sin(s)? It’s time to examine yourself and do some pruning. “And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” (Mt 3:10) As we run this race with patience we should be producing fruit continually. “But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.” (Lk 8:15) “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.” (Jn 15:4) Jesus looked ahead at “the joy that was set before him” and “endured the cross”. If we are to bear fruit we need to remember Jesus. “For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.” (Heb 12:3) “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.” (Jn 15:8)

Daily Devotional – You are the Temple of the Living God

July 23, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

YE are the TEMPLE of the LIVING God; as God hath said, I will DWELL in them, and WALK in them; and I will be THEIR God, and THEY shall be MY people. Wherefore COME OUT from among them, and be ye SEPARATE, saith the Lord, and TOUCH NOT the UNCLEAN thing; and I will RECEIVE you. (Cor 6:16-17)

Did you know that when you are born again you are no longer your own? “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1 Cor 6:20) God demands that we keep ourselves from the world. “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” (Jms 1:27) “For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;” (1 Thess 4:3-4) “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)
