O Father Thou art evergreen

Praise the Father for His everlasting love.  He is ever new; ever fresh.
Hallelujah He lives forever. Amen.

1.  Our Father, as the evergreen,
Thou art forever new;
Thou art the ever living Lord,
Thy freshness as the dew.

O Father, Thou art unchanging,
Thou never hast grown old;
Thru countless ages, ever fresh,
Thy newness doth unfold.

2.  O Thou art God, and Thou art "new";
Without Thee all is worn,
But all with Thee is ever fresh,
Though many years have gone.

3.  Each blessing Thou hast given us
Thy newness doth contain;
Thy covenant, Thy ways are new,
And ever thus remain.

4.  Now we Thy new creation are
New spirit and new heart;
We're daily from the old renewed,
New life Thou dost impart.

5.  The earth and heavens will be new
And Thy new city share;
New fruits each month will be supplied,
For all is newness there.

6.  O Father, Thou art ever new,
And all is new in Thee;
We sing the new eternal song,
New praise we give to Thee.

Love one another

Let there be no divisions among us.

I beseech you brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing and that there be no division among us (1Co 1:10).  Let no one bisect the church which is the body of Christ.  The church is universal.  There is only one Body and it is the universal Body of our Lord Jesus Christ comprising all the believers (Ro 12:4-5).  As we all know that there is no separate Christ for Protestants or Catholics or Presbyterian or Brethrens.  Let us ask ourselves who created the denominations, and the divisions among the believers.  The Bible clearly says that there should not be division among us.  We should not be called as of Apollo’s or of Paul or Cephas or of Christ (1Co 1:12).  It is Satan with the help of immature man.  There is one Lord (Eph 4:3-5) and His body is universal.   Bible even forbids divisions in the name of Christ. 

Let us ponder upon an illustration.  Say a group of believers have come together in the name of the Lord and sometime later they give a name to that group and call it a ‘so and so’ church.   Then after a while the same group becomes successful in establishing a group of believers elsewhere and gives the same name, ‘so and so’ church to it.  Now it is obvious that this particular group of believers want others to know that they are separate from the other Christians.  For example, ‘Church of Christ’ is a phrase which explains the universality of the church.  Now if we take this phrase and claim it to be ours and name our church then it becomes a group out of the universal church who has separated themselves with the name ‘church of Christ’.  If you still don’t get it then my question for you to think about is ‘Will this group of saints name the church established through them in another locality as ‘church of Lord Jesus’ whereas the meaning is the same as that of ‘Church of Christ’.  The saints don’t do that because they have their own little ambition behind it.  They want ‘their church’ to grow and become great among the many groups of Christians. 

Do not name the church as the church is universal and we the believers are the members of the same and the only Christ.  It is the Lord who calls individuals into the sheepfold.  As the saints come together, they try to give an identity to their church.  The church is and should be identified by its locality.  By learning the scriptures we understand this great truth that there is one universal body and it is identified with each locality.  For example church in Rome, Church in Ephesus, Church in Smyrna, church in Corinth and so on. In Revelation 2, the Lord Himself identifies seven churches according to the locality and this is the church ground, Amen Lord for this great vision.  Church is identified with locality.  We don’t say church in Asia, but churches in Asia (1Co 16:19).  No matter who you are, if you do not see this vision of the universal body, then you are one among the divided group in Christianity.  It is not the Lord’s work but the work of men.  The Lord when he sees a locality, He will not see separately at the Pentecostal Christians and Methodist Christians, but He looks in the locality (Rev 2:1- 3:22) and the church in the locality which is beyond all this denominations and divisions.  There may many dramas going on in the name of the church, but our dear Lord who looks into the hearts of men (Ac 1:24, Pr 21:2, Mt 9:4) has an account of His true lovers (Joh 10:3), cares and nourishes them in the Holy Spirit (Eph 5:23-28).  Hallelujah.

Faith initially is produced by the working of the Triune God.  God the Father chose His sons before the foundation of the universe (Eph 1:4), God the Spirit sanctified the chosen ones (Joh 14:26, Ro 8:14) and God the Son made His home in the chosen ones (Ro 8:9, Gal 2:20).  But over a period of time, the church is corrupted by satan, man’s natural self, and the world.  I will try to give two illustrations to enlighten you. 

1)       If by the love of the Lord and my love for Him, I get up at 0430 am for worshipping, praying, and praising God or for a quiet morning fellowship with the Lord.  It is a very good blessed thing which the Spirit has revealed to me.  Now this is grace, a free gift of the spirit.  We do things in the liberty of the Spirit because where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2Co 3:17).  I do it willingly because the Lord’s grace.  If I tell the next generation to get up 4:30 am, this is my addition to the Spirit’s revelation.  This becomes an act of my Self.  Not only that but I progress in my Self and lay down rules and procedures for this morning spiritual time.  Though this was a Spirit’s revelation to me and I used my natural mind and made it into a tradition.  The next generation gets up 4:30 and does the worship as I had instructed them to.  And then they pass it on to the next generation.  They too get up in the morning and do the rituals.  By this time men do this as a tradition or as a ritual without exercising the spirit.  There is not fruit in such a thing as it is not in the Spirit.  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth (Joh 4:24).  Then a few more generations later, this becomes a full-fledged religion.  The people start to think that if they didn’t get up 4:30 am, they have wronged God and God will hate them.  They will condemn one another and starts to persecute one another.  Lord the Spirit is inexhaustible.  Let us worship Him in love, even if we follow the traditions of the fathers, let us be in the Spirit then there will be life and no burden; love, no condemnation; peace, no guilt.  Everything happens for good to those who are in Spirit (Ro 8:28). 

2)      This was an actual experiment performed to study the behavioral pattern of an intelligent species of monkey.  A cage had seven of these monkeys, a water sprinkler on the top of the cage and some bananas hanging next to a ladder inside it.  One monkey jumped up the ladder to grab a banana but suddenly the water sprinkler was operated inside the whole cage.  The monkey was frightened jumps down the ladder.  A few times more, the monkeys understood that something was wrong when they climbed the ladder to pick the bananas.  Now the water sprinkler was disabled and a monkey out of the seven was also replaced with a fresh one.  This new monkey when it saw the banana unaware the previous sprinkler ordeals, tried to climb the ladder, but the remaining 6 pulled him down and thrashed him.  Then a little later another old monkey was replaced with a fresher.  This one too tried to climb up the ladder, but the remaining monkeys thrashed the hell out of him.  Then another fellow was replaced and he too had a similar fate.  Then it happened after sometime that all the monkeys were replaced progressively.  At this point the scene was such that there was bunch of ripe colorful bananas hanging near to a ladder.  None of the new monkeys knew anything about the sprinkler.  No monkey dared to climb the ladder.  They knew one think, if anyone tried to climb the ladder, he should be thrashed. 

Isn’t this today’s scenario in our churches with denominations.  “Everyone is doing and so I am doing” attitude is the experimental monkey’s attitude.  It is just plain ignorance.  The priest wearing fancy robes and peculiar accent doing some acts in front of the altar is more like a drama than a desirable worship for God.  These altars are immediately covered with veils after the so called worship which is a complete eye was.  The actual veil is rent by the Lord Almighty at the cross, and now who are these men to put new veil between the altar and the Lord’s believers.  They do certain priestly acts in a particular way.  Ask them why they do it, you will hear reply like a heathen temple priest.  Praise the Lord, for we are recovered from such futility and bondage.  Hallelujah, now we can enjoy and experience God, Amen.  Hallelujah our God is enterable, experiencable and enjoyable, Amen.

Divisions are from Man

God unifies His beloved and scatters the unrighteous.  He is our Almighty Father who has chosen us before the foundation of the universe.  Unrighteousness and ungodliness has caused separations and divisions among the Christians right from the Apostles time.  This is the work of Satan who is the father of deception and lies.  Sin and Satan divided mankind from God right from the beginning in the Garden of Eden.  Cain was scattered because he was deceived by Satan and made him want independence from God.  He didn’t care about God’s need and his upliftment from the fallen state and worshipped God according to his way.  He didn’t offer sacrifice like Abel.  Then the next fall came when people built the tower of Babel, the ultimate proclamation of independence from God.  By this time you know what God would have done; He scattered them. 

There is one body, one church, one baptism, one Lord. (Eph 4:4-6) Do not say that you are of Apollo’s or of Paul’s or of Christ (1Co 1:12).  For Christ is not divided.  If you try to raise a building independent of the universal body, then it is your tower of Babel and you will be scattered shortly says the Bible.

God’s way is recovery.  He recovered the Earth from the waters (Gen 1:2).  He recovered Israel from Egypt.  The church from the apostle’s time until this day travelled through persecution and corruption (the Greek mythology mingling with the pure word of God soon after Constantine became a Christian).  Though the church suffered yet it marched even through the Dark Age by the grace of our dear Lord Jesus Christ.  It was a period when the scripture was locked up by the enemy for nearly 400 years.  All the while the Lord worked, spoke and moved to unify and raise His beloved church.  But Satan created more and more divisions through man’s self and sin.  When persecution and killings couldn’t deter the move of the Lord through His beloved saints, he posed as a friend of the saints.  Even to the extent in the last days, when he will understand that this tactic also failed, he would post as an Angel of light (2Co 11:14).  Hallelujah the church will march because the Lord is marching.

The Scripture is opened to all today more than any time of the history.  The truths are manifested for all to see; it is no more a mystery or pieces of puzzle.  The word is in abundance and the means are numerous.  There was a time in History when dear saints waited for years and walked miles to get a hold on a copy of Bible.  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Jones_and_her_Bible) Now I have at least more than a couple of dozens of Bible in different formats all around me.  O Lord how blessed we are! This is the age of grace, abundance and oneness.  The Lord in these last days is recovering the church.  There are no natural qualities or worldliness in the recovered saints, but they share the divine quality of the Lord who is in them.  These dear saints have very thin outer shell which had been broken (Read this wonderful book ‘The breaking of the outer man and the release of the Spirit’ by Brother Watchman Nee http://www.ministrybooks.org/books.cfm?id=26EA)

There outer man of these broken saints does not prevent the Christ in them to flow out into others.  It is no longer they live but Christ living through them and in them, Amen.  This is the ultimate purpose of God’s creation, God and man mingling together in their spirits.  These are the ones who had undergone the sanctification of the Holy Spirit and have been dealt with their sinful and worldly part.  They love the Lord and His body which is the church.  They are builders of the church.  When I say they are ‘builders of the church’ do not think that these builders are architects, brick layers or building constructors.  They are the church builders.  Church is the spiritual home of our God in the world.  The church is the dwelling place of Lord Jesus.  What works of hands can accommodate this great God.  Is there s a building which can contain God? (1Ki 8:27)  So it is a spiritual home, the church. If the members are gathered in the name of Lord Jesus in a football ground, then it doesn’t mean that there is no church but the gathering is the church.  The church is the group of vessels holding the Lord coming together.  This is the work of the Lord (Mt 21:42) and how marvelous it is to behold when men come in Spirit to worship the Almighty in spirit and truth (Joh 4:24).  ‘In spirit’ does mean that everyone shout and jump and also ‘in Spirit’ doesn’t mean that everyone shout and jump.  In spirit is in spirit with the Lord’s Spirit and enjoy the liberty that it brings forth (2Co 3:17).  There is no hypocrisy in it.  It isn’t a tradition or a law.  We are joined to the Lord’s Spirit (1Co 6:17).  The worship will be God led. 

The ones of God will be in the Body caring for the unity of the Body in these last days.  Our churches may be many because of Satan’s intervention, but the saints wherever they are should come to the Lord in prayer, praises and worship.  Our King will break gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron and flow into us the ultimate joy and abundant life (Psalms 107:16).  Any so called Christian seeing other brothers and hates him have not God in him (1 Joh 4:20).  Your knowledge in the doctrines may be superior and you may talk in tongues, but if you don’t have love.  You are inferior to all.  Love is above all.  Let us love one another. 

Let us talk of the recovery; Let us talk of the Body of Christ.  Let us be in the unity of the Spirit.

From the comfort of the pastures through the Calvary,
Shepherd, Lead us while we sing the song of eternity,
To the mountain of pleasing breeze and life shining,
sons and the hosts sing glory to the everlasting king.
Amen

May the Lord’s name  be glorified.  Amen

A Triumphant Entry

 

A colt’s Story

The Lord instructed His disciples to bring a donkey and a colt to Him (Mat 21:7) for His triumphal entry to Jerusalem before the Passover.   A colt is a young foal of an ass (Zech 9:9, Mat 21:5).  Riding on a colt, the Lord displayed His meekness and lowliness to His creation.  In a Broader sense, the Lord Almighty left His eternal abode descended in to the midst of mankind and displayed His love and meekness.  His deeds and words were according to His great wisdom (1 Cor 1:24) for the glory of the Father.  The Lord could have just entered the city of Jerusalem riding a shining white horse followed by thousands of white horses.  The religious disbelieving Jewish people would have wanted to see such a spectacle while they sought signs from Him (Mt 12:39).  Instead the Lord chose a colt as His ride during His triumphal entry.  He gave no signs to mere amusers and faithless spectators (Mt 16:4).  Man is in a fallen state and his salvation is the Lord.  The Lord and His crucifixion is his only cure (Nu 21:9, John 3:14).  Looking unto the Lord alone will alone remove many veils from his heart blinding him from seeing the glory of God.  The Lord has reserved the shining white horse's part for the future (Re 19:11) and He attended the immediate need of man that is to dispense Himself to man.   Our need today is this pure and holy Heavenly Portion without any element of religion, law or burden which is the Person of God, the Lord Jesus Christ.  Hallelujah. 

The donkey signifies the church (entire believers of the Lord).  The colt is a foal of ass signifies the Overcomers produced by the church.  The Lord chose the colt not directly, but by sending his disciples in search of it.  Even in this age, we received Lord's word through some disciples who are sent by the Lord.  This is known as election.  God’s elect throughout ages are chosen according to His foreknowledge (1Pe 1:2).  The Lord sends the word through His disciples to bring the elects to the triumphal entry throughout the centuries and He is still doing it.  So becoming the Overcomers of the Lord does not mean that believers are chosen by the merits of their labor, but they are simply chosen by the Lord.  And this position of being the Lord’s choice will produce the required merits.  These are the people who…. overcame him (Satan) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death (Rev 12:11).  So to be the Lord’s Overcomer is to become His choice and to become His choice we need more and more grace and cover ourselves with the blood of the Lamb.  Second is to have a strong testimony for the Lord and third is not to love one’s life even unto death.  Hallelujah what an election!

The Lord’s triumphal entry to Jerusalem highlights that how in a short while He was about to put an end to all religious and satanic rule with one strike on the Cross.  It is a celebratory march to mark the beginning of the new age of grace, Hallelujah.  Young colt, the Lord’s Overcomers which He produced through the church are the undefiled ones which the Lord chose to enter into the city.  The Lord was not ashamed of the colt because He knows who He is, a triumphant King.  He is beautiful without any outward make up.  He is the real royalty without outward proclamations.  His Overcomers are not defiled by the idols of the world.  No man has ever sat on it means that for this Lord’s chosen group, there is absolutely no one, no saints, no statues, no rituals, and no religion other than the Lord Jesus Christ.  The young colt and the overcomers of the Lord today are the same.  The Lord loves them and chooses them out of the world.  When they (disciples) said to the people that the Lord has need for this colt, no one opposed.  The Lord’s chosen ones are separated from the world in such a wonderful manner.  There is no one in between the Lord and his loved ones.  They are a mingled spirit born to be glorified.  Hallelujah.

When the Lord entered Jerusalem, the people welcomed Him laying their garments and olive and palm leaves.  The Lord was not actually walking on their garments, but the colt.  If the Lord is in us, people may receive us just like this.  We should understand that we are just His colt and the glory is to the Lord who is in us.  Today many priests and pastors are praise themselves and boast as though they had done something great for such praises.  They are forgetting that they are just the colts and the actual glory and praises are for the Lord if they believe that the Lord is in them.  People are singing to welcome the King who is great and powerful and not the colt.  The Lord’s chosen never boast and they know that the glory and praises belong to the Lord.  Likewise the Overcomers of this age carry the Lord in their hearts and their spirits is regenerated and give Him glory.  When the Lord will come again at the end of this age, the Lord will be on a white horse (Re 19:11).  Hallelujah, the colt is transformed into a shining white horse.  Likewise the Overcomers of the Lord too will put on (1Cor 15:53-54) glory along with the Lord in His second coming through living a life of colt undefiled by the world in this age.  They too will shine (Re 5:10; 20:6).  Hallelujah. 

Let us desire to be the colts of the Lord and carry Him in our hearts wherever we are.  Let the Lord’s name be glorified always.  Let nothing other than the Lord enter us and we may be the Lord’s ride when He enters triumphantly the New Jerusalem.  When the colt is ready the Lord can enter Jerusalem triumphantly and we know that the colt is nothing and King is everything.  In the same way, in Rev 12:5-10, there is a mention of a man-child which is the Overcomers. Here after the man-child is raptured, the woman, signifying the church during the tribulation period, is driven to the wilderness.  There she is being protected and nourished by the Lord (Rev12:14).  Soon after this Satan is thrown out of the Heaven permanently (Rev 12:9).  The Last time when he was thrown out, he however had an access to the Almighty along with the sons of God when they reported to God (Job 1:6).  Hence the Overcomers are a bad sign for Satan.  Whoever Satan is threatened of being an Overcomer today or has a potential to become one in the coming days, then don’t be surprised when he frustrates and demoralizes this person.  But Hallelujah like always after the negative things, God brings His blessings and recovery.  After the old serpent that is Satan is thrown out of the heaven, Christ is glorified and the Kingdom is God is come. Hallelujah.  See what a colt can do to Satan.  Let us live a life of purity and holiness resisting the flesh and soul.  We are chosen by the Lord not because we were different or talented but we were simply His choice.  Let us overcome by the blood of the Lamb, have a great testimony and not love our soul life even unto death.  This is grace.  Oh what a grace.  Hallelujah.  Amen.  

The Living Bread

God’s Invitation to the disciples and the multitudes to His heavenly feast

The feeding of the five thousand

The feeding of the five thousand is an amazing incident in the Bible which always has something new to offer every time one reads it.  There is grandeur in this portion of the scriptures where the King is out in the middle feeding the multitude.  There is no mention of what the Lord exactly taught the people.  For whatever He taught was for the multitude present at that time since it is not mentioned for us.  But what we have here is the Lord’s work which gives glory and eminence to the Person of Christ Himself.  So the events in this riverside deserted place with our dear Lord as the centre unveils the wisdom and purpose of the Holy Spirit to put it on record for us who are reading today.  The whole incident is a prophecy of the coming grace age where we will feed upon the heavenly bread (John 6:35) until the Lord’s second coming.  It was a foretaste of the Heavenly feast with the King of kings. 

The Background

the world today

The Lord withdrew along with his disciple to a deserted place after the religious people rejected him and the death of the forerunner, John the Baptist.  The notes from ‘The Holy Bible the recovery version’ give us a good understanding about the significance of the Lord’s withdrawal from the city to a deserted place. 

Matt. 14:13 ‘withdrew’

                Because He had been rejected by the people in religious, cultured, and political circles, the heavenly King departed from them and withdrew to a deserted place privately. This indicates that thenceforth He would hide Himself in a deserted place, in a place without culture, away from the religious, cultured, and political circles. He did this by means of a boat, implying that He would do this through the church. Because He has been rejected by the civilized world, the Lord, through the church, has always hidden Himself in a realm without much culture, away from religious and political circles.

                   The Lord though rejected by the religious hard nuts was a joyous and mysterious person who attracted crowd like a magnet.  His yoke is easy to bear and His presence so warm and loving.  His words were few but full of life and grace.  What a wonderful person is our dear Lord!!  His life was not only words and doctrines, but full of wisdom, love and glorious deeds.  The Lord took a boat ride towards this deserted place with His chosen disciples.  When the people came to know about this, they followed on foot from the cities to meet Him.  This is an excellent prophetic message from God the Spirit for this generation.  Today the Lord is in a deserted place withdrawn from the religious society and the sin infested world along with His disciples.  Hallelujah, people from the city are on the foot to meet the Christ who is in the deserted, lowly place.  The city is a worldly place full of earthly entanglements and sin.  Satan has penetrated every system of the city.  This was already left by the Lord and His few faithful lovers.  The city people are leaving on foot (paying the price) to meet this great Christ who is full of grace and joy on a daily basis.  Mark 6:33 says that people ran to meet the Lord.  We need to run to meet this great Lord who is the only meaning in this futile fallen world.  People speak about investment and security for future while there is no surety about their tomorrow.  What meaninglessness!

                The King of kings seeing the multitude moved with compassion because they were like sheep without Shepherd (Mark 6:34).  He began to teach them and heal them out of His great compassion.  Time passed by and the hour became late.  The hour was late signifies the age of darkness and dangers with scarcity of food.  In such a critical situation, the disciples suggested the Lord to let the people go, but the Lord sought earnestly to glorify God the Father, told the disciples to give the multitude something to eat.  He was not mocking the disciples as He knew the disciples ability.  Today the Lord instructs us in the same way as He told the disciples.  He wants His disciples of today to feed the multitude of this age.  You might think that He knows my ability and then how can He ask such a formidable thing from me.  Hallelujah, because He knows our ability He asks this from the disciple.  It is never the ability of the disciples but His strength and power of the Triune God behind the disciples.  Amen. 

                The disciples gave some brilliant suggestions to the Lord which He discarded immediately.  The Lord is steadfast and stuck to His demand.  He said to disciples, “You give something to eat.” Mark 6:37.  Let us see the abilities of the disciples when the Lord said that.  They had 200 denarii.  It was definitely not possible to feed a multitude.  Their second ability was finding a boy with 5 loaves and 2 fishes which was again meager.  The Lord didn’t permit the disciples to go to the market to buy food for 200 denarii and then do the miracle with it.  It was already late.  The real need of the multitudes of all the ages (John 6:31) was the pure heavenly bread which is the Lord Jesus Christ (John 6:33-35, 6:48) without the mixture of any human elements.  He didn’t directly make bread and fish out of nothing.  But instead He took the five loaves and two fishes, blessed it and broke the loaves of the bread and then gave the pieces to the disciples.  Then the disciples gave it to the multitude.  The Lord’s earthly life was sacrificed to give us our real food in such a manner to feed the multitude.  His body that was broke is our heavenly manna which will give eternal life (John 6:54).  This is particularly mentioned in all the gospels that the Lord made the disciple distribute the bread to the multitude (Luke 14:15).  The disciples of today are filled with the life giving Spirit (1 Cor 15:45 Rom 8:9)

                The Lord gave thanks to the Father and broke the bread which signifies that the Lord is the living bread (John 6:51) who had broken Himself willingly (John 6:51) on the cross to be distributed because they were like people without a Shepherd.  He also instructed to break bread in remembrance of Him (1 Cor. 11:24, Mark 14:22).  The Lord gave thanks to the Father for the glory He is about to receive from the creation.  The hour was late indicates that there was still time for the feast to take place before the actual darkness.  The green grass and the orderliness indicate how the Lord recovered the same rest and orderliness which Adam through sin had lost.  The multitude for ages were wandering and seeking the Lord.  They travelled from the city to the wilderness.  Finally they met the Lord and now they were orderly seated in the green pastures in the deserted place.  It was a grand event.  Food came from nowhere in abundance.  The multitude was filled, every one of them.  In this age the gospel will be preached throughout the world, and they will be filled until the Lord will outweigh the multitude.  The Lord is infinite and inexhaustible.  Who ever goes to Him will never go hungry (John 6:35) and He will never drive anyone away even though the hour is late (John 6:37).  The bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. 

                Today He is seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven.  He is giving the bread to the multitudes through his lovers.  He needs disciples to fulfill this task, a few ordinary people who will set this heavenly bread before the multitudes.  Our ability is just 5 loaves and 2 fish which is nothing when you have some 20,000 mouths to feed.  So when He breaks our effort which is almost nothing, it is increased by a 10,000%.  His riches will never get exhausted, but after everyone ate and filled, they still gathered many baskets of bread in abundance.

                The faster we realize we don’t have a Shepherd, the faster we will run for Jesus.  The faster we reach Lord Jesus (on foot, effort) the sooner the Son of God will have compassion on us.  The sooner His healing work and the feeding of the heavenly bread begins through His disciples of this age whose ability is nothing.  The sooner you ate and get filled, the quicker the abundance of the Lord can be seen when the baskets of fragments of heavenly bread is left in excess. 

Now you don’t stop there, but answer the heavenly calling and love the Lord (disciple), the sooner you admit that all you have is a portion which is nothing compared to the portion the Lord needs, the sooner you take it to the Lord, the sooner He breaks it and give it back to you.  You will distribute it to the multitude for their salvation.  At the end you will still be carrying the remaining baskets of heavenly bread.  The Holy kingdom is a place of abundance, and The Lord’s hands will never cease giving.  You will be tired taking the bread from Him, but He will not be tired giving it to you. 

Disciples said to the Lord

This place is deserted and there is a multitude without Shepherd and the hour is late.  The hour is late means there will be a time of darkness soon, but still there was time when the Disciples of Christ realized this.  The hour is late but there will be time ahead, which will be full of dangers from beasts, and robbers.  If they don’t act now, they will be exposed to dangers, will not find a place to sleep and will not find food.  The hour is late now, but it will be too late soon.  The fig tree (Israel) has blossomed; the summer is going to come (Mt 24:32, 33; Mark 13:28; Lu 21:30).  Are we a Christian with great doctrinal knowledge without love or deeds of Christ?  Our Lord was a person with warmth and love.  Are we like the Lord or are our words full of condemning doctrines without love?  When it comes to the real life situation do we behave like the worldly people? 

The end is nearing, let’s be filled with the bread from heaven, be it one from the multitude or the disciples let us be filled.  Let us love with the love of our Lord.  Let us not condemn one another but build one another with pure heart full of our dear Lord Jesus Christ.  

Hallelujah, Christ is the way.  Amen
