LAZINESS 2


 *Text:* Proverbs 19:24.


 *The lazy person buries his hand in his dish and doesn’t bother to bring it back to his mouth.* 


While Jesus was addressing the one-talent man in the parable of the talent,  He referred to Him as an evil and lazy person. Mathew 25: 26.That is, whoever refuses to do his assignment in God's kingdom is not only lazy but also evil.


Eventually, when verdict was passed on this man, I'm sure it was more than he bargained for-

Jesus said "throw this useless servant into the darkness outside! In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’” Mathew 25:30 ISV.


 *Laziness is not just a vice that can make life unpalatable for her host here on earth,  it's a sin that can lead one to hell.* 


James  4:17  says *Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.* 


A lazy person cannot inherit the promise of God.

Hear this submission from Hebrews 6:11 &12 -But we want each of you to continue to be diligent to the very end, in order to give full assurance to your hope.Then, instead of being lazy, you will imitate those who are inheriting the promises through faith and patience.


In this kingdom (God's kingdom) there's no room for laziness. Jesus said in John 5:17 that , “My Father has been working until now, and I too, am working.” The least you can do is to be like your father. Our father is not lazy, Jesus our Master is not lazy, you can't afford to be lazy.


 *BIBLE READING* : 


Matthew 25:14-30.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. I receive grace to be diligent in all my endeavours.

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...
