TAKE NO THOUGHT 2


Text :Mathew 6:34

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Each day has its own evil(worries), so when you are anxious about tomorrow's evil, you are drawing the evil of the future into today, thereby giving yourself double load of worries(evil) for a day.

No man is capable of bearing today's evil(worries), needless to talk of adding tomorrow's. This is the reason Jesus is asking you to come and lay your burdens and worries at His feet. (Mathew 11:28). He also taught us to ask the Father to deliver us from evil. I realised this is a very important prayer that must be said on daily basis in a very serious manner. 

The enemy daily throws several assaults at you so that you can loose your focus on God. Hence, it is wisdom for you to always ensure that you heartily pray before you step out of your house that the Lord deliver you from evil.

For you to be delivered from the rat race this world system has initiated  for many, you must learn another major lesson from the Lord's Prayer: *Give us our daily bread.* No matter how hard some preachers try to twist this verse  the truth is that Jesus meant exactly what He said. Only a man who is dependent on the Lord will ever take this prayer serious. It is simply a request of a man who is poor in the spirit. It is a prayer that keeps you in a Mother-child relationship with the Lord. It is like a 5months old baby in the hands of his mother. This child would always wake up to receive supply for the day from his mother-atleast for the time he ramains a baby. The baby does not need a store house to keep 10days meal. The baby simply  wakes up daily to look unto the mother for the day's fresh milk. 

Though God wants you to grow in understanding, but He wants us to remain a child in dependency and love. 1Cor. 14:20

No matter how much you have in savings or reserves, God would still have you ask for your daily bread from Him. This bread includes all kinds of provisions that transcends  the physical and material The bread is both physical and spiritual. So you need  both from Him daily. There are some who have provided bread for themselves but they wake up from bed only to realise there is no mouth(life or heath) to eat the bread. The prayer to the heavenly father to supply daily bread ensures that you are also provided with healthy mouth (life)to eat what He provides for each day.

 As you live before the Lord in a Mother- child relationship, you will realise that you are being delivered from the bracket of those who take thoughts for tomorrow.


Bible Reading: Mathew 6:24-34.


 *Prayer point* 

1. Father help me to always lean on you and trust in you for the supply of my daily bread.

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...
