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.

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...
