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.

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...
