Elders should not shepherd out of compulsion, but serve out of love for people, voluntarily. Not for sordid greed, not for greed, and not for profit. We are here to serve the Lord. Not as dominators, but as models. Whoever wants to be the greatest must be the one who serves others. We need to … Continuar lendo DAILY IMMERSION IN THE PROPHETIC WORD Sunday | Mess. 21 – Do Not Think It Strange Concerning the Fiery Trial Which Is to Try You

Jesus learned obedience through suffering. If this was the case with Him, it is even more so with us. We must obey the faith, the word, God, and the truth; we must act according to the word of God. God is making Christ our leader, until Christ is the head over all things, but first … Continuar lendo DAILY IMMERSION IN THE PROPHETIC WORD Saturday | Mess. 21 – Do Not Think It Strange Concerning the Fiery Trial Which Is to Try You

Reproof is good for us, because it shows that God cares for us. When He reproves us, it is because He wants to approve us next time. God disciplines us for our benefit, so that we may participate in His holiness, because He always reproves us so that we may depend totally on His life. … Continuar lendo DAILY IMMERSION IN THE PROPHETIC WORD Friday | Mess. 21 – Do Not Think It Strange Concerning the Fiery Trial Which Is to Try You

God provides external situations, trials. He allows such trials to expose what is in our hearts, because they are impure and need the purity of faith. Trials have a double function: to show us what is in our hearts and to lead us to depend totally on the word of God (Deut. 8:2-3). Thanks be … Continuar lendo DAILY IMMERSION IN THE PROPHETIC WORD Thursday | Mess. 21 – Do Not Think It Strange Concerning the Fiery Trial Which Is to Try You

What we have seen and heard concerns the Word of life. Life is in the word. If there is no word, there is no life. The Word of life is the Lord Jesus Himself, the very life that we have seen and witnessed (1 John 1:1-3). The word we have received introduces us into the … Continuar lendo DAILY IMMERSION IN THE PROPHETIC WORD Wednesday | Mess. 21 – Do Not Think It Strange Concerning the Fiery Trial Which Is to Try You

God is doing a work of transformation. According to His great mercy, the Lord has caused us to be born again. Peter was clear about God’s plan; about what Christ came to do. The day we received new life, when we believed in Jesus, our salvation began.

The Lord Jesus used the apostle Peter, along with the other apostles, to do an excellent work in the early church. The outstanding elements of this work came through the church following God’s government through the word ministered by the eleven, led by Peter.

Today we follow the same principles as the early church: they persevered in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship in that teaching. They did not speak their own words, out of their own eloquence or wisdom, but followed the “oracle of God,” that is, what God spoke through the apostles (Acts 2:42). Prophesying is speaking about … Continuar lendo DAILY IMMERSION IN THE PROPHETIC WORD Sunday | Mess. 20 – Arm Yourself With the Mind of Christ for Suffering

In the present day we must be prudent, that is, have a sound mind, have good sense and be sober, of a healthy mind; to dedicate ourselves to prayer. Jesus said to the disciples: “Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Matthew 26:41). We … Continuar lendo DAILY IMMERSION IN THE PROPHETIC WORD Saturday | Mess. 20 – Arm Yourself With the Mind of Christ for Suffering

Those who suffer for righteousness’ sake receive the care of the Shepherd and Overseer of their souls. Sufferings are part of the judgment of God’s government over His church, for the purpose of testing faith, with a view to final approval, the salvation of the soul (1 Peter 2:25; 1:7-9). The Lord’s coming has become … Continuar lendo DAILY IMMERSION IN THE PROPHETIC WORD Friday | Mess. 20 – Arm Yourself With the Mind of Christ for Suffering
