Daily Devotional – Let their Table become a Snare

June 23, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

“Let their TABLE become a SNARE before them: and that which SHOULD have been for their WELFARE, let it become a TRAP. Let their EYES be DARKENED, that they SEE NOT; and make their LOINS continually to SHAKE. POUR out thine INDIGNATION upon them, and let thy WRATHFUL ANGER TAKE HOLD OF THEM.” (Psa 69:22-24)

Have you ever wondered what happened to the natural seed of Israel? Have you wondered why so many horrible atrocities have happened to them? They rejected their Messiah! They were continually committing whoredoms against God. King David prophesies concerning them for their rejection of God and his Messiah. “What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?” (Rm 11:7-12)

Daily Devotional – I AM THAT I AM

June 22, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

I AM THAT I AM (Ex 3:14), The Word that was with Me (Jn 1:1), The Word made Flesh; (Jn 1:14) The Everlasting Father, The Mighty God! (Isa 9:6)

Jesus claimed to be the I AM. The Jews understood that Jesus claimed to be God. “Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.” (Jn 8:58-59) God is the I AM even as God is the Word even as the Word is God’s thoughts, plan, and reasoning within his mind. The Prophet Isaiah prophesied to us that Jesus would be called The mighty God and The everlasting Father. Thus the revealed name of God in the New Testament is Jesus.

Daily Devotional – Thou hast Known my Reproach

June 22, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

Thou hast known my REPROACH, and my SHAME, and my DISHONOUR: mine adversaries are all before thee. REPROACH hath broken my heart; and I am FULL of HEAVINESS: and I LOOKED for some to take pity, but there was NONE; and for COMFORTERS, but I found NONE. They GAVE me also GALL for my MEAT; and in my THIRST they GAVE me VINEGAR to DRINK. (Psa 69:19-21)

We are told by the writer of Hebrews “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, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.” (Heb 12:1-3)

Daily Devotional – I will Declare thy Name unto my Brethren

June 20, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

DELIVER my SOUL from the SWORD; my DARLING from the POWER of the DOG. SAVE ME from the LION’S mouth: for thou hast HEARD ME from the HORNS of the unicorns. I will DECLARE THY NAME unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I PRAISE THEE. Ye that FEAR the LORD, PRAISE HIM; all ye the seed of Jacob, GLORIFY HIM; and FEAR HIM, all ye the SEED OF ISRAEL. (Psa 22:20-23)

Did you know that King David was prophesying of the declaring of the name of the Messiah? “But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.” (Heb 2:9-12)

Daily Devotional – They Pierced my Hands and my Feet

June 19, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

“For DOGS have COMPASSED ME: the assembly of the WICKED have ENCLOSED me: they PIERCED my HANDS and my FEET. I may tell all my BONES: they LOOK and STARE upon me. They PART my GARMENTS among them, and CAST LOTS upon my VESTURE. But BE NOT thou FAR from me, O LORD: O my STRENGTH, HASTE thee to HELP me.” (Psa 22:16-19)

When the nation of Israel is attacked at the battle of Armageddon, they will be looking for the promised deliverance. They know the LORD will go forth, and fight against those nations, his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives. (Zec 14-3-4) What they don’t know is in that day they will find out who their Messiah is. “And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.” (Zec 13:6) “And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.” (Zec 14:9)

Daily Devotional – They Gaped upon me with their Mouths

June 18, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

They GAPED upon me with their MOUTHS, as a RAVENING and a ROARING lion. I am POURED OUT like WATER, and all my BONES are OUT of JOINT: my HEART is like WAX; it is MELTED in the MIDST of my BOWELS. My STRENGTH is DRIED UP like a POTSHERD; and my TONGUE CLEAVETH to my JAWS; and thou hast BROUGHT ME into THE DUST OF DEATH. (Psa 22:13-15)

In the passion of Christ for a world of people in need of a savior Jesus Christ took not only the death of the cross but also the shame of all that he suffered. “And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. (Matt 27:39-44)

Daily Devotional – The Lord Jesus Christ was Nailed to a Tree

June 17, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

The Time has come!! The Hour is at Hand!! The Lord Jesus Christ was nailed to a Tree! There to Drink the Cup of Sin!! Why, Why, you may ask, would He die on a Tree for Me?? Why, Why, would my savior die on that Cross for me?? He Drank the Cup of Death, the Cup of Death He Drank it for me, for in the Cup of Death, the curse of the Law we were redeemed.

Jesus said, “Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.” (Jn 12:27) “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” (Gal 3:13-14)

Daily Devotional – Types, Shadows, and Salvation

June 16, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

Passover – Red Sea – Under the Cloud = Brazen Altar – Brazen Laver – Holiest of Holies = Death – Burial – Resurrection = Blood – Water – Spirit = Repentance – Baptism in Jesus Name – Receive Indwelling Sprit of God = Acts 2:38 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.

Did you know that the blood, water, and the Spirit which is salvation is seen throughout the scriptures? Here we see it with the Passover (Ex 12:11-13) and the baptism unto Moses. (1 Cor 10:1-2) Again we see it in the Tabernacle Plan given to Moses by God. The Brazen Altar for the animal sacrifice and sin offering, (Levi 6:1-7) the Brazen Laver to wash their hands and their feet, that they die not, (Ex 30:17-21) and the Holiest of Holies where the High Priest communicated with the Spirit of God once a year on the day of atonement. (Ex 30:6) (Lev 23:27-28) We see it again in the Lord’s death, burial, and resurrection. (Rm 6:3-7) “This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.” (1 Jn 5:6) We partake of the blood, water, and the Spirit when we apply Acts 2:38 in our lives. 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.

Come let us Grow Together: Be ready always to Give an Answer

June 16, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

Come let us Grow Together is a weekly series that deals with the many topical categories that exist within the Word of God. The purpose of this series is to grow in wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in things pertaining to God.

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. (1 Peter 3:15-16)

But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. (2 Tim 2:23-26)

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. (Titus 3:9-11)

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. (1 Tim 1:4)

As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (1 Peter 4:10-11)

Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. (Col 4:5-6)

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. (Eph 4:29) Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. (James 1:19-20)

Daily Devotional – Not Forsaking the Assembling of ourselves Together

June 15, 2018 cpministries Leave a comment

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) (Heb 10:22) Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. (Heb 10:25)

Did you know that having our bodies washed with pure water is referring to being baptized in Jesus name as just six verses earlier it was speaking of the New Testament we are living under and just four verses earlier says, “Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.” (Heb 10:18) This being fulfilled in Acts 2:38 where we partake of the New Testament. “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) We are also told that we are not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, then told we should be assembling together even more as we see the day approaching. Do you know what day is in reference? The day of the Lord’s wrath and we are given warning signs all throughout scripture concerning this day so that we may escape it.
