SISTER MARY

Text : Luke 1:30.

And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

 In the beginning, the serpent spoke to the first woman, Eve, and the result was the fall of man as we have it in Gen.3. However, God in His mercy decided to save mankind, and by divine providence, He also chose to use woman.

When the devil wanted to get the attention of the woman, he spoke through the serpent, when God wanted to save mankind through the woman, He spoke through His angel, Luke 1:26-28.
The bottom line here is that, to get a woman's attention,  you must master the art of words. Some guys who have mastered this art had used it to the hurt of the unsuspecting, naive ladies. This is why a girl child should be well trained to desist from gullibility.

Please note that it is not only a woman that can be lured by words, men are equally susceptible, so let he who thinks he stands take heed, lest he falls.1 Cor 10;12.

As a parent, practice giving endearing words to your children, it will go a long way in preventing them from predators with sweet tongue. 

By nature, a woman has a softer heart. Irrespective of the age, endearing words affect a woman more than the man. Hence, the need for you to be careful who you listen to as a woman. And the need for you to be careful what you say to a woman as a man.

Eve listened to the serpent and we can all see the resultant effects till now. Marry listened to God's word through the angel, and the redemption of man was birth.

Whom are you listening to?  Who is speaking into your life?  _Note that your life will go in the direction of what you are hearing._ 
 
Romans  10:17 says So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. If faith comes by hearing, death also comes by hearing. You can ask Eve, she will explain better.

You may not have  control over what people say, but you surely do have control over what you do with what you have heard.
When Eve heard the serpent,  she considered what she had heard, and she acted on it, and the rest is history today. Gen.3:6. Also when Mary heard the angel,  she chose to believe it,  she said be it on to me according to your words. Luke 1:38.

It is important to be selective in what you hear, but more important than this is what you do with what you hear.


Bible Reading  : Luke 1:26-38.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *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.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
