MOUNTAINS HAVE EARS


Text: Matthew 21:21

Jesus answered and said unto them, verily I say unto you, if ye have faith,  and not doubt, you will not only only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if  you tell THIS  MOUNTAIN,  'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea',  it will be done_ . 

Everything created by God has ears,  both animate and inanimate things. Jesus in Matthew 21:18 spoke to a tree and the tree obeyed,  because the tree too has ears. 

When the disciples saw how fast the tree responded to our Lord's verdict on it,  they were amazed. And they voiced out their observation, to which Jesus gave them further clarification. He made it clear that they can equally do what He did and even more,  but only on the following three conditions.:

1. You must be His disciple.: Obviously,  Jesus was addressing His disciples in that text,  Matthew 21:20-21.

2. You must have faith.: Personal trust and confidence in Him. 

3. You must not doubt.: Not allowing yourself to be drawn in two directions. 

Once you are cleared on the conditions above,  you are guaranteed that you will have whatever you say. 
Now,  the mountain does not necessarily have to be a physical one,  but anything that stands as obstacles,  challenges and difficulties in your life, they are mountains that should give way. 

Note that Jesus had spoken to trees,  to water,  to wind,  to storm and so on, and they all obeyed because they all have ears and can't refuse the voice of their Maker. (Mark 4:39, Mark 1:27)

He has given us the same authority to root out any tree that God has not planted in our lives. 
The ball is now in your court to do as you wish. Luke 9:1.

 *It is time to root out any tree in your life that is not planted by our father in Heaven. Matthew 15:13.* 

Bible reading: Matthew 21:18-27.

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
