ASSUMPTION


Text : Mathew 25:24

*Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast no strawed* 

Assumption has cheated many from entering into their destiny. Don't assume anything. Don't conclude matters without  clarifications. Assumptions has put  many good homes asunder. Many friendships have been seperated on the basis of assumption, many have lost great opportunities simply because of assumption.

From our text, the servant that received one (1) talent lost his place in the kingdom simply because he assumed.  He emphatically said, "I knew thee that thou art an hard man....." The question that readily comes to mind is: where did he get this information from? Who gave him this information about the master? No one, it was Mr. Assumption.

He assumed the master was a hard man who likes to reap where he has not sown, and to gather where he has not strawed. 

One may think that the Master will defend and clear himself from his servant's assumption. But that wasn't the case. His master described him as a wicked and lazy man. From this, you will realise that when you assume what the Lord is  not, it is wickedness.

 *Learn to clarify issues that is unclear to you instead of living in assumption.* Don't assume why you are going through what you are going through, simply seek the face of God in order to know why.

David in Psalm 73 was almost missing out on God's stand about the prosperity of the wicked, until he went into the Sanctuary of the Lord. 

 Anyone that  continuously lives in assumption, will be far from the Truth.

 *One of the antidotes to assumption is learning to always seek clarity where needed.* 

Secondly, do not conclude on any matter or judge any matter until you have concrete proofs.

 *The sin of  Assumption is common to all men, only those who continually allow the leadings of the Spirit shall find grace to overcome this monster.* 

 *BIBLE READING*: Psalm 73:1-22

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 
1. Lord, deliver me from assumptive heart that always lead me away from the Truth about you and my fellow human beings.

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...
