His Gifts – Our Service part 4
John15:7 “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” If you are abiding in Jesus and His words abide in you, they teach us to pray in accordance with the will of God. Abiding in Jesus our self-will is kept down to a minimum, and the thoughts and wishes of nature are brought into captivity to the thoughts and wishes of Jesus. Like mindedness…

John 15:9 “As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in my love.” Before Jesus speaks the word that invites us to abide in His love, He first tells us what that love is. What He says about it gives force to His invitation and makes the thought of not accepting it an impossibility: “As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you.” How can we have a right understanding of this love?…

1 John 2:27 “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” Believe that, as surely as you have part in Jesus, you have His Spirit too. Believe that He will do His work with power if you do…
Hi Gifts – Our Service part 2
1 John 2:27 “The anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you . . . and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” A life always abiding in Jesus is a beautiful thought. The more we think about it the more attractive it becomes. Yet how often it is that the words “abide in me” in John 15:4 are heard by young Christians with a sigh as if they understand so little about what…

Mark 10:28-30 “Then Peter began to say unto him, Lord, we have left all, and have followed thee. And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and…
Fellowship with Jesus – Devotional
Isaiah 27:2-3 “In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine. I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it day and night.” The second objection that we hear quite often has to do with our sinfulness. Christians are so used to looking at sinning as something that we do daily because it is inevitable that we cannot keep up an abiding fellowship with Jesus, so…
Moment to Moment – Devotional
2 Cor. 6:2 “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” To everyone that wants to learn the art of living moment to moment, I want to say: the way to learn it is to exercise yourself in living in the present moment. Every time your attention is free to occupy yourself with the thought of Jesus, whether it is with time to think and pray, or just for a few minutes, let your first…
Established – Devotional
2 Corinthians 1:21 “He which stablisheth us with you in Christ . . . is God.” Psalm 138:8 “The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth forever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.” Phil. 1:6 “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” 1 Cor. 1:9 “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the…
Follow Me – Devotional
Matthew 16:24 “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” It is in Jesus, the Crucified One that I must abide. I must look at the cross not just as atonement to God, but also as a victory over the devil; not just a deliverance from the guilt, but also as deliverance from the power of sin. I must gaze on Him on…
Righteousness – Devotional
1 Corinthians 1:30 “Of God are ye in Christ Jesus who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption.” The first of the great blessings that Jesus our wisdom reveals to us in Himself is righteousness. It is not hard to see why this has to be the first. There can be no real prosperity or progress in a nation, a home, or a soul unless there is peace. Sin had disturbed our all our…

The Fear of the Lord – Devotion
Psalm 112:1-9 “Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth forever. Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.…
