TAKE NO THOUGHT

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.* 

Though Jesus is not against you planning for tomorrow, but He sternly warned against you being anxious. 

It is normal with average man to be full of thoughts about what tomorrow will bring or look like.
People take thought about the future of their children's, financial security, retirement age, fear of  death, fear of losing loved ones, fear of what the future holds, fear of failure, fear of not succeeding in life. All these and more are the reasons for man's labour, struggles and confusion.

Though these thoughts has held men in bondage, but Jesus wouldn't want you to be part of the list. 

Jesus wanted his disciples (followers) to be free from Mammon. *Anyone who has been overcome by taking thought of tomorrow (anxiety)will certainly serve Mammon.*  
 
 *Jesus wants you to see your tomorrow only in God, for God is our Future.* 
In Mathew 6:24  Jesus emphatically stated that "Matthew 6:24 " _No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon"_ 

If you are told  that you are serving Mammon, you will vehemently refute it and say God forbid. But to know if you are serving Mammon or God, you need to ask yourself these questions:

Am I worried about my life?

Am I grossly concerned about what to eat, what to drink; or what to put on?

Am I taking thought of tomorrow?

If you are preoccupied with all these thoughts, then you are likely to be a servant of Mammon. Jesus made a statement in Mathew 6:25 that no man can serve Mammon and God, verses 26-32 clearly stated how the gentiles serve mammon. *The pursuit of gentiles are food, drink and raiment, and by that, they succumb themselves to the worship of Mammon. Becareful not to make same your pursuit.* Only God seekers shall be free from the worship of mammon.


Bible Reading: Mathew 6:24-34.

 *Prayer point* 

1. Lord, deliver my soul from anxieties and worries of this life.

2. Lord, help me to grow a new passion for the  pursuit of your Kingdom and his righteousness.

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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
