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...

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...
