*Spirit Breakfast* 🍞☕ _14th March 2019_

*Theme:* *Wandering sheep*

*Anchor Text:* 1 Peter 2:25 (New Living Translation)
2:25 Once you were like sheep     who wandered away. But now you have turned to your Shepherd,     the Guardian of your souls

I have come to discover that it is quite easy for most Christians to draw on the 'goat analogy' as a description for those not in Christ. However, a careful study of the Bible will reveal to us that this is actually the opposite.

The scripture never refers to the lost as being goats. That reference is found only once in Matthew 25:32&33, and this was speaking of when the Lord will judge the Nations after the dispensation of Grace is over.

All through scripture, the lost are also referred to as sheep. *In the mind of the Father, we are all sheep;  it's our location from Him that varies.* Some are the sheep of His pasture. While other sheep have simply gone astray.

This understanding reveals to us that no one is far from the saving Grace of salvation. This is why Jesus died because we all were once lost sheep but He found us and is now our Shepherd.

To we who are saved, this should cause us to reach out more to those who have wandered away. Our Father sees them as simply misguided sheep that have lost their way and not stubborn headed goats. Let's reach out in love and compassion the same way Christ reached out for us when we were wandering sheep.

And if you're reading this and you're still not in Christ, I urge you to stop wandering. You're not a goat as some may make you believe. You're a sheep and you just need to find your way back to the fold. Jesus is ready to receive you today. Stop wandering, there's a place for you and Jesus wants you be your Shepherd.

Stay Graced...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
