WORD DIARY: SATURDAY JULY 21, 2018

Matthew 19:27-28 Peter answered him, "We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?" Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Faithful followers of Jesus! #PastorBasil

Matthew 19:29-30 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.

Abundant earthly and eternal rewards! #PastorBasil

 

The Bible

Matthew 19:30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.

Grace to finish well! #PastorBasil

Mark 4:8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, multiplying thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times."

Let us pray: O Lord, may your word prosper our lives in Jesus name #PastorBasil

Postscript

Ecclesiastes 7:29 This only have I found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes.

God, more than earthly manufacturers, created a perfect mankind; and like every manufacturer, He gave the Bible as the manual. As we brush our teeth and eat every day, so much do we need to look into that manual for daily living and thereby prevent a malfunction inherent in seeking our many devices.

These verses and the accompanying nuggets are meant to start you out every day. But you need a personal relationship with God and the Lord Jesus Christ. It will help to contact a bible believing church near you.

WORD DIARY: FRIDAY JULY 20, 2018

Matthew 19:20-21 "All these I have kept," the young man said. "What do I still lack?" Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Grace for sacrifice! #PastorBasil

Matthew 19:22-24 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.  Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

Seek heavenly riches! #PastorBasil

 

The Bible

Matthew 19:25-26 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, "Who then can be saved?" Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

Have faith in God! #PastorBasil

Mark 4:7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain.

Let us pray: The worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things will not steal our salvation in Jesus name #PastorBasil

WORD DIARY: THURSDAY JULY 19, 2018

Matthew 19:14-15 Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."  When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.

Needed: A touch of Jesus! #PastorBasil

Matthew 19:16-17 Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?"  "Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments."

Obey divine commandments: QED! #PastorBasil

 

The Bible

Matthew 19:18-19 "Which ones?" the man inquired. Jesus replied, "'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and 'love your neighbor as yourself.'"

Grace to obey these and more! #PastorBasil

Mark 4:5-6 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

Let us pray: Father, may we be deeply rooted in your word and overcome temptations in Jesus name #PastorBasil

WORD DIARY: MONDAY JULY 16, 2018

Matthew 19:7-9 "Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?" Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."

Wanted: A heart of love! #PastorBasil

Matthew 19:10-12 The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry." Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."

Marriage 101! #PastorBasil

The Bible

Matthew 19:13 Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

Free access to Jesus! #PastorBasil

Mark 4:2-4 He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said: "Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

Let us pray: Father, prosper the work of our hands in Jesus name #PastorBasil
