BUT I SAY UNTO YOU

Text : Mathew 5:44.

But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,

It's common to see and hear people talk about Grace today in a way that is not in consonance with the scriptures.

God's word is so clear about this matter, but people only hear what they want to hear. We paint things according to the colours of our minds. 

The preachers and carriers of hyper-grace teachings pretend as if some parts of the scriptures are not included in their Bible. 

Hear what Jude, a brother of Jesus in the flesh has to say about them:

 _For some people have slipped in among you unnoticed. They were written about long ago as being deserving of this condemnation because they are ungodly. They turn the grace of our God into uncontrollable lust and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus the Messiah.Jud 1:4 ISV_ 

 It is great wisdom to run away from false teachers and prophets,   avoid them like plagues, because they carry plagues with them. 

Now, apart from what other teachers and apostles have to say about the commandments of God, hear what Jesus Himself is saying.

You have heard that it was said, ‘You must love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy.
But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
so that you will become children of your Father in heaven, because he makes his sun rise on both evil and good people, and he lets rain fall on the righteous and the unrighteous. Mt.5:43-45.

Expressly,  Jesus told us that He has not come to abolish the law, but to fulfil it. As a matter of fact, Jesus raised the stake for us as far as the law is concerned and He gave us the grace to fulfil it.

 The grace of God will teach you to deny ungodliness,  anything that makes you comfortable in your sin is not His Grace but an aberration.

You must pay close attention to everything Jesus is saying. If all you do is look out for everything written in red in the Gospel with the aim of obeying them, you would be pleasing to the father.
 

Bible Reading : Math 5:40-48.

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...

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...
