Text: Proverbs 25:13 "As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful
messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters."
Philippians 4:17 ". . . I desire fruit that may abound to your account."
THE WORD OF GOD
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also
received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4. And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according
to the scriptures:"
2
Timothy 3:16 All scripture
is given by inspiration
of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2
Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of
the scripture is of any private interpretation.
Luke
8:9-11 And his disciples asked him, saying, What
might this parable be? 10. And
he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God:
but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they
might not understand. 11. Now
the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
1
Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed,
but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1
Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according
to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection
of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4. To
an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved
in heaven for you, 5. Who are
kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in
the last time.
1 John 5:4-5 For
whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that
overcometh the world, even our
faith. 5. Who is he that
overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Revelation 3:21 "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my
throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his
throne."
A
BROTHER
Matthew
12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father
which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Matthew
7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord,
Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven.
Luke
8:21 And he answered and said unto them, My
mother and my brethren are these which hear [present active
participle] the word of God, and do [present active
participle] it.
Matthew
25:34-36, 40 Then shall the King say unto them on his
right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the world: 35. For
I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I
was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36.
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in
prison, and ye came unto me.
40. And
the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the
least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Numbers
18:17 . . . the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they
are holy: thou
shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar,
1
John 3:14-15 We know that we have passed from death unto
life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 15. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer:
and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
Hebrews
6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which
ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and
do minister.
METHOD
OF SHARING KINGDOM
Colossians
4:5-6 Walk in wisdom toward them that are
without, redeeming the time. 6. Let
your speech be alway with
grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought
to answer every man.
Mark 4:11 And he said unto
them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them
that are without, all these things
are done in parables:
Mark 7:17 And when he was
entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
Luke
8:9-10 And his disciples asked him, saying, What
might this parable be? 10. And
he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: . .

1
Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh
you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
Mark
9:2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John,
and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was
transfigured before them.
Mark
9:9-10 And as they came down from the mountain, he
charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the
Son of man were risen from the dead.
10. And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one
with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
Hebrews 5:12-14 For when for the
time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the
oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong
meat. 13. For every one that
useth milk is unskilful in the
word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full
age, even those who by reason
of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Isaiah 7:14-15 Therefore the
Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a
son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
15. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil,
and choose the good.
Isaiah
7:22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance
of milk that they shall give he
shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
Proverbs
30:33 Surely the churning of milk
bringeth forth butter, . . .
1
Samuel 14:27 But Jonathan . . . put forth the end of the
rod that was in his hand, and dipped
it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and
his eyes were enlightened.
Ephesians 1:15-18 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus,
and love unto all the saints, 16. Cease not to give thanks for you,
making mention of you in my prayers; 17. That the God of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit
of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18. The
eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know
what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his
inheritance in the saints,
Isaiah
28:9-10 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom
shall he make to understand doctrine? them
that are weaned from the milk, and
drawn from the breasts. 10. For
precept must be upon precept,
precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little,
and there a little:
2
Timothy 2:15 Study to show
thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth.
