You will know them by their fruits. |
LITTLE children, let
no one deceive you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just
as He is righteous.--Does a fountain send out from the same opening both
fresh and bitter water? Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a
vine produce figs? Neither can salt water produce fresh. Who among you is
wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the
gentleness of wisdom.--Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so
that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may on
account of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of
visitation.
Either make the tree good, and its
fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for the tree is known
by its fruit.--The good man out of his good treasure brings forth what is
good; and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth what is evil.
What more was there to do for My
vineyard that I have not done in it?

I shall make
the place of My feet glorious. |
THUS says the LORD, Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool.
Will God indeed dwell with mankind
on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain Thee; how
much less this house which I have built.
Thus says the LORD of hosts, Once
more in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the
sea also and the dry land. And I will shake all the nations; and they will
come with the wealth of all nations; and I will fill this house with glory,
says the LORD of hosts. The latter glory of this house will be greater than
the former says the LORD of hosts.
I saw a new heaven and a new earth;
for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer
any sea. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the
tabernacle of God is among men, and He shall dwell among them, and they
shall be His people, and God Himself shall be among them,

OUR
DAILY WALK
by F. B. Meyer |

November 19
BEARING THE CROSS
"He that taketh not his
cross, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me."--
Mt 10:38.
HOW WONDERFUL it is that in
the thirty-seventh verse of this chapter, our Lord faces the whole
race of men, and claims their supreme love, asking that they
should love Him more than their dearest from whom they have
derived, or to whom they have given life. He does not attempt to
justify His demand, and the only consideration that makes His
claim reasonable is that He is the Son of God, who died for us on
the Cross, and that each one of us has a separate place in His
Divine-human love. What a rebuke lies in the word: "is not worthy
of Me." Surely in this sense there is no one of us worthy of our
Divine Lord.
Christ asks for the
surrender not of the heart only, but of the life. Self-denial for
His sake is the badge of the disciple. It is a strange procession
of cross-hearers, following the Crucified. Each man has his own
special form of serf-denial, which is required of him, and it must
be undertaken willingly.
Of course, it must be
understood that the confession to which Christ summons us does not
consist in a single utterance of the lips; it is the constant
acknowledgment of Him by voice and life, maintained to the end,
and the context makes it clear that this will have to be
maintained in the face of opposition, and that often in its
bitterest form--the opposition of the home. Many of us would find
it easier to face outward persecution and the tyrant's frown, than
to stand against the light banter, the sneers and suspicions, the
cruel words of those who live within the home. In every age there
have been those who have had to stand absolutely alone for Christ,
not hating their dear ones, but being hated by them because of
their allegiance to Christ, and destined to find the most dutiful
love and care repaid by stony indifference or active persecution.
Nothing is harder to bear, and there is no other course for us but
to silence the enemy and the avenger by patient continuance in
well-doing, always believing that God is faithful, and that He
will not allow us to be tempted above that we are able to bear.
PRAYER
Be the corrective, the
complement, of every trouble and need through which we may be
called to pass; if we suffer for Christ, may we not threaten; if
we are spoken against, may we answer with blessing; if we are
tried by the fiery trial, may we rejoice; if we are lonely and
desolate, may the Holy Spirit make Jesus real to us. AMEN. |

From Obedience to Blessing
"From this day will I bless you" (Haggai 2:19).
Future things are hidden from us. Yet here is a glass in which we may see
the unborn years. The LORD says, "From this day will I bless you." It is
worthwhile to note the day which is referred to in this promise. There had
been failure of crops, blasting, and mildew, and all because of the
people's sin. Now, the LORD saw these chastened ones commencing to obey
His word and build His temple, and therefore He says, "From the day that
the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider. From this day will
I bless you." If we have lived in any sin, and the Spirit leads us to
purge ourselves of it, we may reckon upon the blessing of the LORD. His
smile, His Spirit, His grace, His fuller revelation of His truth will all
prove to us an enlarged blessing. We may fall into greater opposition from
man because of our faithfulness, but we shall rise to closer dealings with
the LORD our God and a clearer sight of our acceptance in Him. LORD, I am
resolved to be more true to Thee and more exact in my following of Thy
doctrine and Thy precept; and I pray Thee, therefore, by Christ Jesus, to
increase the blessedness of my daily life henceforth and forever.

NOVEMBER The Nineteenth
THE ARMOUR OF GOD
Ephesians 6:10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18.
THE Word describes the armour, and it directs us to the armoury. The
description would oppress me if the directions were absent. If I have to
forge the armour for myself I should be in despair. But I can go to the
armoury of grace, where there is an ever-open door and abundant welcome
for every person who fain would be a knight-errant of the Lord. The Lord
will provide me with perfect equipment suitable for every kind of contest
which may meet me along the road. There are no favourites among the
pilgrims except, perhaps, the neediest, and to them is given “more
abundant honour.”
Sometimes one of the Lord’s knights loses one piece of armour, and he must
at once repair to the armoury. Perhaps he has lost his helmet, or his
shield, or even his breastplate, and the enemy has discovered his
vulnerable place. We must never continue our journey imperfectly armed.
The evil one will ignore the pieces we have, and he will direct all his
attack where there is no defence. Back to the armoury! Back to the armoury,
that we may “put on the whole armour of God.” The Lord is waiting; let us
humbly and penitently ask for the missing piece. |

GLOBAL PRAYER
DIGEST - Nov 19 Tsakkhur People of Azerbaijan...
Although they call themselves the Yiqby, everyone else
calls them the Tsakkhur, the name of one of their
villages. Perhaps that is because no one except the
members of this people group are able to properly
pronounce their name!
God knows them intimately as Yiqby, Tsakkhur and
probably several other names as well. In fact, He knows
each of the 16,000 individuals in this group, having
created them and placed them in northern Azerbaijan for
a specific purpose: to worship and serve Him.
The Tsakkhur are not, however, serving Christ. They have
been Muslim since the 11th century. In fact, the city of
Tsakkhur was once a headquarters for Islam in Dagestan,
a region in southern Russia.
Like many of the neighboring people groups of Central
Asia, the Tsakkhur people live in difficult to reach
rural regions. This has helped to keep them hidden from
the good news of Jesus Christ. As the Joshua Project
notes, "The Tsakkhur are in desperate need of a viable
Christian witness among them. The overwhelming majority
of them have never heard a clear presentation of the
gospel."
Pray!
Ask the Lord to reveal creative ways for laborers to
take the message of salvation to the Tsakkhur people.
Pray for radio and Internet ministries to target this
seemingly forgotten group. Pray for the hearts of the
Tsakkhur people to be set free from the darkness of
Islam and turned toward the saving light of Jesus
Christ.-CL
Psalms 71:19b "Who, O God, is like You?"
Can anyone honestly say that they created a galaxy?
Absolutely not! No one is like the Lord! But mankind is
constantly trying to shrink the Lord and put Him on the
same god shelf as all the others. Members of Tsakhur
people have been deceived into worshipping jinns and
other worthless spirits that cannot help them. To not
acknowledge the superiority of our Creator over all
others is to lie.
Pray!
Pray that the Tsakhur people of Azerbaijan will forsake
false gods and truthfully acknowledge that He alone is
worthy of worship and devotion.

A Prayer
For Our Nation
May
the Spirit of holiness prompt all who read it to join in solemn,
earnest intercession on behalf of America (cp Joel 1:14, 2:15)...
Heavenly Father, we
come before you today to ask Your forgiveness and to seek Your
direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who
call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have
lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have
exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded
laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and
called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it
justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and
called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called
it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called
it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and
pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have
ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it
enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today;
cleanse us from every sin and set us free (in Christ Jesus our
Lord). Amen!
Note:
Some have attributed
this prayer to Billy Graham, but others attribute it (or a similar
prayer) to Joe Wright and still others to a prayer by Bob Russell
before the Kansas House of Representatives in 1996 - God knows who
prayed it, so that is not the real issue...Our Father desires to
hear all of His children crying out with similar contrition and
brokenness over our sins against His holy Name...
First of all, then, I urge
that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made
on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, in
order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness
and dignity. (1Ti 2:1,2, cp Daniel's great prayer in Da
9:3-19)
