ATTRIBUTES OF DOG

Text:  Matthew 7:6

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet,  and turn again and rend you . 

Jesus sometimes use  animals and plants to drive His points home for  His disciples. At a time,  He referred to His good followers as Sheep and the bad people as goats, Matthew 25:33. Anytime He speaks like that, He was only referring to the attributes of those animals to depicts what He is saying. 

Today,  let's look at some of the attributes of dogs that we may glean some wisdom from it. 

1. *Dogs can't handle holy things.* : Holy things here does not imply "sacred artifacts" or objects, but spiritual words and instructions. Anyone that can't comprehend matters of holiness, bed undefiled before marriage,  separation from evil friends, evil deeds and immorality, moderacy and modesty, etc,  are exhibiting dog's character,  hence,  such(spiritual) things should not be thrust at them. 

2. *Trample under feet* : To trample is to crush or destroy something. As a matter of emphasis,  "dogs" are those human beings who will not only treat holy things with disdain but will also look for means of destroying it. *From such turn away.* 2Tim 3:1-5, Philippians 3:2.

3. *Turn and rend you* : The order of things in the spirit follows that anyone  that has sown unto you spiritual things is eligible to reap from you  physical things (1 Corinthian 9:11). If instead of blessing those whom God has placed over you from your substance,  you turn to backlash them. Then,  you are showing a dog trait. When you also turn against those who have done you nothing but good, that is also a dog spirit.

4. *Vomit* : Dogs alway go back to its vomit. 

(2 Peter2:22). 

It is dog's attributes that makes man go back to his terrible old habits after he has forsaking them. 

 if you noticed any of these traits in your life, You can break free today by washing your robes in  the blood of the lamb,  so you may have right to the tree of life and gain access to life eternal. Revelation 22:14.

 *Obviously, no dog can enter into the presence of God, because dogs are outside, Revelation 22:15. You are a son,  don't take up the characters of dogs.* 


Bible reading: Revelation 22:6-21

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
