Spirit Breakfast 5/2/2021



Text: Hebrews 12:2 (King James Version)

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.


These days there are so many books, sermons, speeches, quotes, etc. concerning purpose. 


This is the same when the topic of the will of the Father for individuals is considered. 


However, knowing and understanding your purpose and God's will for you is not a mystery as such. 


It is achieved through an activity so common and well known albeit not many engage in it appropriately. 


The will of the Father and life's purpose are discovered in the place of prayer. 


Remember part of the model prayer says: "Thy will be done". And Jesus exemplified this when He prayed in the garden of Gethsemane for the will of the Father to prevail. 


Jesus constantly engaged in prayer, hence He was never in confusion concerning His purpose. 


Discovering and understanding purpose requires prolonged period in prayer. 


Only a manufacturer knows the reason he made a thing. And only God knows the reason He created us. Therefore, it is only logical that we go back to Him to find out. 


I pray that we won't live life without purpose or understanding the Father's will in Jesus name. 


Have a graced day...

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...
