GIVE US THIS DAY, OUR DAILY BREAD
“….. for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD…..Matt. 6:6-11
My friends in Luke 11:1 it tells us “as Christ was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray” The Lord’s prayer it is called, a prayer about a God who knows our every need even before we ask Him. A God who is willing to GIVE US THIS DAY, OUR DAILY BREAD.
Not our weekly BREAD, or our monthly BREAD, or our yearly BREAD, but OUR DAILY BREAD. This is where I want to take you today my friends, because this journey to the kingdom that Christ has placed us on requires a DAILY WALK with Him.
Christ tells us in John 6:35 “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. OH my God! What a promise to His chosen generation who seeks His presence “whoever comes to me will never hunger, or thirst”
And in Matt. 5:6 He also tells us Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled,
My friends in that text our Savior is telling us we have to crave Salvation, it must be a passion we seek DAILY just like our craving for physical nourishment, we must also crave DAILY to be filled spiritually, and it can only come from God’s word and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit
“Come and quench this thirsting of my soul. Bread of Heaven, fill me up, and make me whole.” Yes my friends let your hunger and thirst be made whole through God’s Word, and Spirit for “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
My friends all roads to the kingdom and eternal life goes through the Word, not your Parents or your pastor or your psychiatrist or your husband, or wife or your TV or the internet. My friends ONLY THE WORD WHO GOD IS can fill us but we must have a passion like we have never had before, a passion that drives us all the way to Calvary as we take up the Cross and follow Christ wherever He leads.
Oh what a challenge my friends, to be “crucified with Christ; for once you are crucified with Christ it is no longer you who lives, but THE BREAD OF LIFE who lives in us; and the life which you now live in the flesh you live by faith in the THE BREAD OF LIFE who is the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for all who believes.
Christ also tells us in John 6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” Now my friends what do you give in return for your life. Remember Salvation is free, but at what price.
Let’s never forget we were on the auction block when Christ saved us, a slave to sin, and Satan, but our Savior paid the ultimate price for us which was his own blood that was shed on Calvary. And now because of what Christ has done for each of us we should be willing to give Him our all.
Paul tells us in 1 Cor. 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I 
WORKED HARDER THAN ALL OF THEM yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. Yes my friends WE MUST BE WILLING TO WORK HARDER THAN ALL OF THEM, as we serve the Lord, and take the good news of the gospel to everyone.
For Christ tells us “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” John 6:32 My friends This is your Mandate, now “Go into all the world” and TELL THEM ABOUT THE BREAD OF LIFE FROM HEAVEN as you let your light so shine that all may see Christ in you.
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
