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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
