THE CHILDREN’S BREAD

– MONTHLY DEVOTIONAL –

1^st. May 2024

SCRIPTURE

“’In that day, everyone in the land of Judah will sing this song: Our city is strong!
We are surrounded by the walls of God’s salvation.
Open the gates to all who are righteous; allow the faithful to enter.
You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.
He humbles the proud and brings down the arrogant city. He brings it down to the dust.
The poor and oppressed trample it underfoot, and the needy walk all over it.

But for those who are righteous, the way is not steep and rough.
You are a God who does what is right, and You smooth out the path ahead of them.
Lord, we show our trust in You by obeying your laws; our heart’s desire is to glorify your name.

In the night I search for you; in the morning I earnestly seek You.
For only when You come to judge the earth will people learn what is right.
Your kindness to the wicked does not make them do good.
Although others do right, the wicked keep doing wrong, and take no notice of the Lord’s majesty.

O Lord, they pay no attention to Your upraised fist. Show them Your eagerness to defend your people.
Then they will be ashamed. Let Your fire consume your enemies.

Lord, You will grant us peace; all we have accomplished is really from You.
O Lord our God, others have ruled us, but You alone are the One we worship.
Those we served before are dead and gone. Their departed spirits will never return!
You attacked them and destroyed them, and they are long forgotten.
O Lord, You have made our nation great; yes, You have made us great.
You have extended our borders, and we give You the glory!

Lord, in distress we searched for you. We prayed beneath the burden of Your discipline.
Just as a pregnant woman writhes and cries out in pain as she gives birth,
so were we in your presence, Lord.
We, too, writhe in agony, but nothing comes of our suffering.
We have not given salvation to the earth, nor brought life into the world.
But those who die in the Lord will live; their bodies will rise again!
Those who sleep in the earth will rise up and sing for joy!
For Your life-giving light will fall like dew on Your people in the place of the dead!

Go home, my people, and lock your doors!
Hide yourselves for a little while until the Lord’s anger has passed.
Look! The Lord is coming from Heaven to punish the people of the earth for their sins.
The earth will no longer hide those who have been killed. They will be brought out for all to see.”’

ISAIAH 26, NLT.

Child of God, a happy new month to you all, and yes, it is still spring!

In true humility, and as children, who genuinely belong to God Almighty, we ought to always praise HIM. Therefore, let us praise Him for the small, as well as the great victories which He has given to us, and will continue to give to us.

Let us praise Him for the defeat which he has allowed us to suffer at any given time because from His perspective, nothing permitted by HIM with regards to us who genuinely belong to HIM, is actually defeat, but rather, victory, although, it may take us a long while to understand this truth as such.

In this MONTH OF GRACE, let us ponder on the true meaning of the GRACE OF GOD:

• What is it meant for? To that effect, and for our own good, learn how not to take it for granted.

• HIS mercy or grace endureth forever – Absolutely, child of God! However, does this apply to all and sundry?

• Hmmm – Precious child of God, this month, I will be pondering on the questions above, as I have personally come a very long way, from believing, to KNOWING (experiencing), that without the shadow of a doubt, I am truly truly a child of the unique grace of God Almighty. That notwithstanding, I would not want to be found amongst those who deliberately abuse The Holy God of this special grace, which I have received.

Child of God Almighty, you must understand, that we, who are not born of the flesh, but rather, of the word of His Holy Spirit, are truly children of God who are called, chosen and anointed by God Almighty, according to His unmerited, and undeserved favor and grace. Hence, it is written,

“Who may ascend onto the mountain of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to what is false, nor has sworn (oath) deceitfully.

Psalm 24:3-6, AMP.

Therefore, though God’s grace on our lives is unmerited, but let us not forget, that it never came cheap, as there is ONE, Whom HE permitted to suffer immensely, in order to procure salvation for a people like us, who are undeserving of it, and His name is – YESHUA HAMASHIA! As a result, He suffered shame, humiliation, intense rejection, mockery, hostility, persecution, and all forms of insults from Satan, but through US ALL. ‘”Wait a minute! Through us all sister Susan?! How dare you say that, it was not us, but rather – The “JEWS, the Jewish people!”‘ What do I say to that? ‘”Oh sweet, and Holy LORD! GOD of Heaven and earth, help me, SUSAN, Your precious daughter of Grace, with regards to this child of Yours, “ISRAEL!!!!”‘ 😊 The TROUBLERS OF “the world’s definition of peace” – It’s about them, THE JEWS, AGAIN! This is so predictable, child of God; I knew some people were going to come to that ACCUSATION, “THE JEWS ARE THE PROBLEM!” Really? You see, child of God, it is always easy to point accusing fingers at the Jews of those days, yet, may I be forgiven for “the error” of not beginning my exhortation, with the UNBELIEVERS, but rather, with the CHURCH, since it is written, that judgment must begin in “THE HOUSE” of God. Thus, is that not what most CHRISTIANS, so-called followers of Christ are doing in our day, even worse, since we profess or claim to know HIM as The Savior? Does this brazen wickedness, even within the CHURCH (THE HOUSE OF GOD), not call for a worse condemnation on very many people, who are claiming to be followers of Christ and “gatekeepers” of the Church in our time? This is confirmed with the fact, that even on the cross, Jesus cried out with regards to his siblings, “FATHER, forgive them, for they know not what they do!” This HE did because truly, most of them did not know what they were doing and participating in, against their Deliverer, while like in every movement and situation, there are few, who are fully aware of the truth, but for diverse evil reasons and motives, they refuse to accept it, or allow it to be revealed to others (Luke 11:52, Amplified Bible). Thus, the exhortation: Remove the plank in your eyes, that you may at least, see clearly, to be able to remove the dust from the eyes of another!

Okay, if Jews denied their sibling, Yeshua, and in hindsight, we are now, all perfect, and all-knowing, thus, rightfully angry about such level of denial, or even betrayal which they engaged or participated in. Consequently, the question, which I would love us to ponder on for a while is this, “how many of you, even this day, would say “with your full chest,” that you have at one time or the other, not denied your own sibling; sibling by faith, sibling by ethnicity, sibling by nationality, sibling by race, sibling by gender, sibling by blood, sibling by geographical location, etc.?” Then, let that perfect one throw the first stone! Sure, even here, their actions or response is also very predictable, that if they are permitted, many people would still opt to throw the first stone (VIDEO: THE STORM OF THE STONES OF OFFENSE), although, they are all guilty as F—! (FREDDY KRÜGER😊!!) Hence, this is to prove to you all, that the wicked ones of our time, are even more wicked than those of them, who were around during the time Jesus walked the earth in His physical body. In light of this truth, to a genuine child of God, and a true follower of Yeshua, it is indeed a worrisome reality. However, due to the faithfulness of God Almighty towards us who truly love, trust, and hope in HIM, through His Grace and Truth, we are not hopeless, thus, not consumed, amen!

Since with this writing, I am mainly addressing the Church, therefore, let us be transparent about the things that we love to whisper in the secret places, which according to us, “ears should not hear about, and eyes should not see, lest, we be put to shame!” Yet, if unaddressed, they are the very things polluting the soul of the earthly Church, globally! Having said that, much appreciation to the brave men and women, who from the get-go of their salvation, have been holding on, despite how intense the battle has been. We also salute the precious brothers and sisters in faith, who are now waking up from their spiritual slumber, thus, standing up to SATAN; The enemy of the true Bride of Christ, regardless of which form or vessel, he (the enemy) takes, in oder to showcase himself. These brave soldiers of Christ, take such risks, well knowing, that it might cost them intense pain; certain friends, communities, money, opportunities, comfort, etc., and that, my very precious ones, is the reason why they are called, “BRAVE,” as it takes them to see beyond their personal needs or reputation, to be able to look the devil in the face, and say, “NO!,” where almost everyone else, has long bowed down to him in worship, thus, have said, “YES!”

In addition to how too many Christians are committing worse crimes against God Almighty, than even the kind, which the Pharisees and Sadducees committed in their time, it is evident that for many of them, it has become common-place to trample upon the integrity, honor, grace, mercy, authority, will and name of Jesus Christ, even after He had shed His blood for them, and they fully know HIM as their Redeemer and their Savior. Are these not the same group of unrepentant sinners, who have the Bible, not just with THE OLD, but even THE NEW TESTAMENT, echoing the Voice of Christ to them from within it? Thus, ignorance is no longer an excuse, since salvation has been preached to the whole world, including them!

Furthermore, is that not what Atheists, and all religion, seem to have in common, in our day; denying God Almighty and even that, which they know are His will, and ordinances, by stomping on God and His sovereignty because unlike the days of old, HE is no longer a KILLER, or He has apparently forgotten how to kill?! As a result of that, in our day, we no longer have reverential fear of God Almighty, but rather, we now tend to only fear the very one, who is able to gaslight or deceive, terrorize or traumatize us the hardest, and maybe, longest. Yet, the same Holy GOD Almighty through Jesus Christ, explicitly warned us, that we should not fear Satan and those who are at his dark service, who are only able to kill our human bodies, and worse than that, they are not capable of doing, but rather, that the very One, Whom we should fear, is the only One, Who is able to destroy, not just our bodies in physical death, but also our souls, and spirits in eternal death – God Almighty! Hence, HE is the only Holy Father, and the only God, Who has life and death in all their ramifications within His hands. As a result, HE is the only One, to Whom “All Power” belongs because HE remains the only holy, yet, SUPREME RIGHTEOUS JUDGE OF ALL.

Having said the above, I rebuke any spirit in any one out there, that would want to rush off to commit murder, saying that God is a Killer, as a result, that they have to help Him lynch a human being – That is demonic possession and not of God, as these kinds of evil spirits love to impersonate the things of God, but for evil purposes. Thus, I command such a lying and deceiving spirit to be bound, and defeated in the lives of God’s children in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

My life or yours, cannot atone for iniquity. My blood, yours, or that of a baby, little child, virgin, man, woman, dog, cat, bull, or rat, etc., can neither cleanse us from sins, nor help us to overcome Satan, and his devils. Our lives or blood can also, not save or deliver anyone, as we are not holy, or perfect in any way, shape or form. Therefore, it is only the holy and unblemished LAMB of the living God, Who could have stood between us and the wrath of God’s righteous Judgment, which must be unleashed against unpardonable sin and iniquity – This was the case, and, even till this day and forever, it will remain so, amen.

In conclusion, this month, I will be thanking God, our holy Father, for His grace to us, through THE MESSIAH. Consequently, I would want you child of God, to join me in thanking HIM for His grace, which HE has freely given to us all who belong to HIM, love Him, trust HIM, and are called according to HIS purpose, amen.
