Daily Bread – November 17, 2022 (The Fifth Day – Genesis 1:20-23) John 17:18 – Just as you sent me into the world, I also send them into the world. Dedication To The Ministry Of Jesus In Our Lives We must be dedicated to the ministry of Jesus, and understand the fundamental principles of what we must do to have it. We must be willing to deny our own logical thinking if we are going to have the mind of Christ. We must be willing to press in for divine revelation, and not walk in our own understanding if we are going to walk like Jesus. Our major hurdle is that we have to risk everything to remain faithful to God in order to believe and live the way Jesus has shown us. We are more comfortable just figuring things out along with a few prayers rather than fasting and praying until we know what to do. We are comfortable with someone else telling us that they can cure us, or remedy our problems, rather than making a stand for the miracles of God and not backing down. Too many ministers think that because they can preach a good sermon, they are doing what Jesus did. Too many people think that just because they show up to Church on Sunday and give an offering, they are doing what Jesus did. It’s high time we take the things Jesus has spoken seriously and start really believing the Bible! Let us consecrate our lives to the ministry of Jesus and begin to give ourselves to being faithful people who wholly trust in God. What will it cost you to live out a life of obedience to Jesus? Everything! Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
