OF MORE VALUE


 *Text:* Mathew 10:31 


 *Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.* 


Do you know what a sparrow looks like? Check the dictionary, one word that is common to all the definitions of sparrow is "small." Sparrow is a very small bird, so small that the Bible says you have to sell two of it before it can get a worth.


Matthew  10:29 - *Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.* 


Two sparrows were sold for a penny. Luke records that five sparrows were sold for two pennies (Luke 12:6). This meant the buyer received the fifth sparrow for free because one sparrow had no value.


Now, why will Jesus compare human beings with sparrows?

He was simply trying to tell us how very detailed and caring our Father is. *If God can care for a valueless sparrow,  then you should know He is so mindful of you.* 

He said  *Fear not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.* 


One of the greatest weapons the devil uses against man is *FEAR* .

Fear of the known and fear of the unknown. 


A single person fears if he or she will ever get married,  he fears if he or she will get married to the right spouse. Once this huddle is crossed, he fears if there would be children. 


When the children come, he fears if they would die, once they survive,  the fear of how the children will succeed in life sets in and the chains of fear continues. Note that all these fears are nothing compared to the kind of fears some people nurse.


Jesus says, FEAR NOT.

All the things you are worried about or that you might later worry about are all known to your heavenly Father and He's committed to taking care of them. Mathew 6:32.


One striking truth Jesus said in this passage is that the very hairs of your head are all numbered.Mathew. 10:30. This sounds unbelievable, but we know that God cannot lie.


 *A God that numbers the hair on your head is more concerned about every little details of your life, Learn to trust Him ALWAYS.* 


*BIBLE READING* : 


Matthew 10: 27-33.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. Father, I receive the grace to trust you in all situation, knowing that you care about me.

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...

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...
