Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 (KJV)
11 So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NLT)
Jesus Christ breathes “LIFE” into us.
He is the God of lights…and life. He encourages us. He doesn’t minister fear or anguish. When we follow Him and embrace Him and engraft His word in all that we do…we are walking in His ways and therefore able to encourage and uplift one another in His word and love.
Follow God…not man.
We are to encourage each other and bring His light into lives where we can…in Jesus name.
When we encourage and uplift we are proclaiming His glory and being a witness to His Sovereign Power and grace.
As Christians…we are to always have the bread of life in your homes.
We are to put the Gospel Armor on in place. What is the purpose of that armor? To stand against the fiery darts of the enemy, who seeks to destroy us.
When you have on the Gospel Armor you will be blessed and protected.
Partaking in encouragement of one another is one of the ways in which we show His glory while wearing the Gospel Armor.
Show your fruits by being in alignment with His will and doctrine. When we shine His light it becomes an example and those who see it will wonder, “how do I feel that way? How can I accomplish peace?” Then the seeds and fruit will grow and those who seek His face will prosper and be blessed.
Today encourage someone along the way. Give your heart as an example of His heart….a heart filled with love for all of His children.
Ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom and strength to do all according to His will while being a vessel of compliance for His purpose.
And, remember that “Faith comes by hearing the Word of the LORD” — so listen, hear and speak His word each and everyday of your life thereby assuring your ticket to Eternity and ripe rewards of the afterlife.
But, for now…here on earth, we still have work to do in His name.
Amen!

Romans 10:17 (NKJV) So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God

For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,
do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.”
Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear.
For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.
Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness,[f] if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.
And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
