THE BREAD OF LIFE SERIES (A daily morning devotional)
Thursday June 9, 2022
Opening prayer
O LORD God our Father, I thank you for today's life. Thank you for the sleeping rest given to me throughout the night. O Father help me to prepare for work as I worship you now, in Jesus name amen.
Scripture reading: John 1:37-38
[37]And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
[38]Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? (KJV)
Theme: FOLLOW JESUS FOR WHAT!
A lot of people follow Jesus after hearing much about his exploits. A scripture reads, "And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan." (Matthew 4:25 KJV) Obviously some people see Jesus as a powerful man to follow. Some see him as a great saviour to follow. Some see him as a true celebrity to follow. What is your take?
This two disciples of John the Baptist followed Jesus, and our Lord turned around and asked them a question. "What seek ye?" Their answer was a question. "Where dwellest thou?" You that are following Jesus through the sermons you hear, what are you seeking.
This morning our Lord is sharing a counsel with us. He says by this scripture, "If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour." (KJV)
I want to encourage you to be following Jesus in order to serve with him. Our Lord is alive, and is still going about doing good to people who are afflicted and troubled. Let's follow him to serve more dividends of that great salvation of our God to the world.
The world today is under gross darkness. (Isaiah 60:2) The people are walking in the darkness. And so many people are becoming hopeless by the day, and are turning over to wickedness. Jesus needs us that follow him, to serve with him. And he revealed something very important, by saying that, his servants shall be with him and God shall honour them. Isn't that a good news? The conclusion of this matter is, be among the followers of Jesus Christ whom God honours. Enjoy your breakfast.

Closing prayer
O LORD thank you for today's bread. Thank you for preparing my soul with this secret to experience a glorious day of purposeful labour and enterprise. O Father, let there be a performance of your truth and grace in my life in Jesus name amen.
