The Fruitful Grain of Wheat
Jesus Predicts His Death on the Cross

From this passage of scripture, we learn that
Jesus had some measure of security from his disciples but his unbreachable security was from God the Father.
We learn a little about agriculture; that a seed must be planted in the ground in order for it to produce a crop, else it remains just a seed.
That Satan is the god of this world system; and for that reason the bible says in James 4:4: Do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
We also learn that the grace of God, the unmerited favor of God is not exclusive; for some and not for others. No! It is for “whosoever shall believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.

Today’s reading is from the Book of Ephesians Chapter 6
The Whole Armor of God
Children and Parents
Bondservants and Masters

From this passage of scripture, we learn That
Children must obey the godly instructions of their parents’ that they may live and be blessed by God. Deuteronomy 21:18 says:
“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and who, when they have chastened him, will not heed them,
19 then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city, to the gate of his city. 20 And they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’
21 Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones; so you shall put away the evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear and fear.
Parents must not provoke their children unto anger; this is...

23 Praise to God for His Mercy - Psalms 118

Today’s reading is from the Book of Psalms Chapter 118

From this passage of scripture, we learn That
The Lord is good and we ought to thank him for his goodness toward us. He is also merciful, and his mercy endures forever.

We learn that we can call upon the Lord in times of distress, and he will answer us.
When your enemies come against; when they try to push you down to the ground, you can call upon the Lord for strength; that you may endure in the day of trouble.
Verses 13 and 14 says: You pushed me violently, that I might fall,
But the LORD helped me.
14 The LORD is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.
There are some listening who can testify that when they were in a fight for their lives, they called upon the name of the Lord and he answered them.
Cheer up! Look up! Raise your head up high, for today is a new day; it’s the day that the Lord has made; so rejoice and be glad in it.

22 God’s Judgment then Mercy - Hosea 2

Today’s reading is from the Book of Hosea Chapter 2

From this passage of scripture, we learn That
God is a jealous God and does not want us to worship idols or any other god of our making. Exodus 20:5 says: You shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God.

That he will sometimes draw us to a spiritual wilderness where he can deal with us in a way that would be beneficial to our relationship with him.

He will draw us with lovingkindness and we will know him. We will love him, and experience his love.

Jeremiah 31:3 says: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.

Some people enter into their own solitude, a wilderness of their own making, hoping to find a door of hope; but end up in a desert of despair.

The bible says in Jeremiah 29:11-13: 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a...

21 Abiding in the Presence of God - Ps 91

Today’s reading is from the Book of Psalms Chapter 91

Psalms 91 does declare the security of the godly.
It does not guarantee security to anyone who recites these scriptures; but the obedient child of God ought to know that the promises contained therein will be honored by a faithful and just Lord who has manifested himself in the person of Jesus Christ.

The Greatest Sacrifice in all the universe was made in order for God to uphold the promises made in this Psalm. God honors his Word above His name.

The Sacrifice of Jesus Christ as payment for the sin of the world is God’s way of upholding his word which declares that the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

Psalms 91 is not a magic formula for the security of any person including the believer.

20 A Prayer of Repentance - Psalms 51

Today’s reading is from the Book of Psalms Chapter 51

From this passage of scripture, we learn that there is none righteous, no, not one; not even the king.
Every person who is born into this world is born in sin.
Romans 3:10 and 23 says: There is none righteous, no, not one; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Confessing our sins before God is the first step to repentance; and when we come openly before him, he will forgive us.
1 John 1: says: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

The Psalmist was asking God to create in him a new heart. In essence, he was asking to be born again; but that was not possible since God was not yet manifested in the person of Jesus Christ, to suffer, die and be raised from the dead.
John 7:37-39, the bible says: On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.

19 Jesus heals a Paralytic - Luke 5

Today’s reading is from The Gospel of St Luke Chapter 5

From these passages of scripture, we learn that Jesus is no respecter of persons; what he has done for others, he can do for you whether male or female.
We learn that he is omniscient so he knows the desires of your heart.
The Pharisees were absolutely correct when they said that only God can forgive sins but what they didn’t know is that Jesus was God in their midst.
We also learn that when the word of God is mixed with faith, great miracles can happen.
Let us not forget that the power of God must be present for miracles to take place.
Jesus is the Word of God (John 1:1) and the power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16). He is a Healing Jesus (Acts 10:38)

A wife and mother with this type of integrity; one who fears the Lord shall be praised.

17 Paul and Silas in jail - Acts 16

Today’s reading is from The Book of Acts Chapter 16

From this passage of scripture, we learn that we must not trust every spirit that claims to know God. 1 John 4:1-2 says: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
We learn that God will never leave you nor forsake you. When the trials of life come your way, you can rejoice, for the Lord is with you and you will find strength to face another day; for the joy of the Lord is your strength: Nehemiah 8:10
Rejoice and do not be afraid. Luke 12:11-12 says: And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take no thought how or what thing you shall answer, or what you shall say:
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what you ought to say.
We also learn that if you believe in the...

16 The Parable of the Sower - Matthew 13

Today’s reading is from the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 13

From this passage of scripture, we learn what happens when the Word of God is preached to a multitude. This is what Jesus said:
19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.
20 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
22 Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some...

15 A Woman Healed from a plague - Mark 5

Today’s reading is from the Gospel of St Mark Chapter 5

From this passage of scripture, we learn that there was indeed a woman who had suffered with a flow of blood for 12 years and the doctors were unable to heal her. In fact, she only became worse.
We learn what faith can do when exercised without doubt or wavering.
The woman believed without a doubt that if she could touch Jesus’ garment, she would be healed. She did and she was healed.
There is a passage in James 1:5-8 which says: 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, ( and this could apply to healing as well,) let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, without doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that person suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

14 The Model Prayer - Luke 11

Today’s reading is from the Gospel of St Luke Chapter 11

From this passage of scripture, we learn How to pray using the model prayer which Jesus gave to his disciples. First of all, we must honor God and give him all the praise and all the glory; for his name is the name that’s above every name and it must be hallowed.
We learn that God is in heaven just as Jesus said, and he is my father and your father; my God and your God. This he also said to Mary Magdalene (John 20:17)
We must also depend on him for our spiritual bread; for man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4)
In this passage, Jesus teaches us that we must ask God to forgive us of our sins even as we forgive others who sin against us.
When we need something, we must ask, seek and knock. The acronym for these three commands is simply “ASK.”

13 The Parable of the Lost Son - Luke 15

Today’s reading is from The Gospel of St Luke Chapter 15

From this passage of scripture, we learn that it was the younger of the two sons who wanted to leave the protection of his father and live his life according to his own dictates. Proverbs 3:5-6 says: Trust in the LORD with all your heart And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
We learn that the Father was looking and waiting expectantly for his son, hoping that he would return some day; even so it is with God the Father who waits patiently for those who depart from him; for he knows that when calamity comes, they will call upon him for help. Psalms 46:1 says: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
In this passage, we learn that the boy returned to his father who had compassion on him, and forgave him for what he had done. And that’s the way it is with God the Father who stands ready to forgive us of our sins. 1 John 1:9...

In times of trouble, he will protect us, even if he has to hide us in his pavilion, in the secret place of the Most High.
When everyone forsakes us, even father and mother, the Lord will rescue us.

We learn that there are angels who are the messengers of God.
We also learn that the Apostle John was a faster runner than Peter.
Some scholars believe that Jesus ascended to heaven after he spoke to Mary and returned that same evening to see the disciples.
“Seeing is believing”; as was the case with Thomas. He did not believe that Jesus rose from the dead; but changed his mind when he came face to face with Jesus

He was crucified between two thieves whose legs were eventually broken as they hung on the cross.
The soldiers did not break the legs of Jesus because he was already dead, but a soldier pierced his side from where came blood and water.
There were four soldiers directly responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus and they were the ones who divided his garments among themselves.

Today’s reading is from Acts Chapter 2

In Luke 24:49 he said to his disciples: Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem[i] until you are endued with power from on high.”
The same promise is recorded in Acts 1: 4-5 which says: And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.
We also learn that the disciples were all baptized with the Holy Spirit and began speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
The gift of salvation was also promised to whoever calls on the name of the Lord.

Today’s reading is from 2 Chronicles Chapter 7

In this passage, we learn that God does hear our prayers; how he answers depends on our motives.
He requires that we humble ourselves before him. 1 Peter 5:5-6 says: God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”[b]
6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time;
We must pray without ceasing, as it is our way of communicating with God. Our prayers must be a desperate cry for mercy; and we must completely depend and trust in him for his intervention in our affairs.
We must seek his face because in his presence, there is fullness of joy. James 4:8 says: Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

We also learn that Jesus does not condemn us but rather urges us to live a life that is pleasing to God. John 3:17 says: For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved

We must also use the Word of God to determine what’s right and what’s wrong; who is for us and who is against us.
And equally as important, we must wait patiently for the return of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.

A message about God the Sovereign Savior

From this scripture passage, we learn that God is the Sovereign Savior. He is our Rock, our Fortress and our Deliverer. He is our strength. When we, his children cry out to him, he will deliver us from the hands of our enemies.

Acts 2:21 says: whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:13 ; Joel 2:32
In this passage, we learn that the Lord gets angry when our enemies try to overtake us. It would be a bad day for the wicked to fall into the hands of an angry God, but not so for his children because he loves them.

God is merciful and he will save the humble. 1 Peter 5:6 says: Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

When we submit ourselves under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, God will make our enemies our footstool.
