MIRROR


Text: James 1:25.


 *But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.* 


 *No one looks into the mirror expecting to see the reflection of another person,  the word of God is like a mirror,  how much of yourself are you seeing there?* 


The word of God is a mirror. When you look into it, you are expected to see yourself and make ammendments. 


James 1:23&24 say, if anyone hears the word but is not obedient to it, he is like a man who looks at himself in a mirror,  and studies himself carefully, and then goes off and immediately forgets what he looks like.


On a norms, when you look at yourself in the mirror and noticed some imperfections be it in your dressing or your body, the normal thing to do is to right the wrongs. 


It will be sheer madness to look at yourself in the mirror and refused to make adjustments where such is obviously needed. 


Same goes for spiritual reflection. A number of times, when the word of God comes to you, there is a tendency to receive it for another person. 


That's why Jesus asked in Matthew 7:3 that  “Why do you see the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?


To look at yourself in the mirror of God's word and refused to make ammendments is simply to refuse to obey whatsoever He commands you.


For if anyone hears the word but is not obedient to it, he is like a man who looks at himself in a mirror.


The word of God is a mirror,  it shows you your wrong and shortcomings. Instead  of running from it, embrace it and receive grace to do all that it commands you.



 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. Father God, as I  look into the perfect law of liberty,  please give me the grace to see myself how you see me and align myself accordingly.

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...
