SECRET

Text : Matthew 13:11.

 *He answered them, “You have been given knowledge about the secrets of the kingdom from heaven, but it hasn’t been given to them,* 

Have you ever wondered why you don't understand somethings in the scripture or why some people are completely clueless about what looks so simple to you? Well, the simple answer is, *the word of God is a secret, and only those who have the key can unravel it.* 

King James calls this secret a  mystery. Jesus Christ says the key to unravelling this mystery is knowledge. He says _You have been given knowledge about the secrets of the kingdom from heaven,_ 

That is, without knowledge,  you'll lack entrance into the things of the Spirit. That's why Peter says you must make every effort to add knowledge to your faith. 

 *For this very reason, you must make every effort to supplement your faith with moral character, your moral character with knowledge,* 2Peter 1:5.

Now, it is your responsibility as a child of God to inquire into those things in which you have been permitted to know.

Whenever the disciples asked our Lord Jesus Christ concerning anything they are not clear on, He usually takes His time to explain and expand it to them.

God is very willing to reveal Himself and things concerning His kingdom to you if only you will ask Him to.

Deuteronomy 4:29 says If from there you will seek the LORD your God, then you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and soul.

The things of the kingdom of your father ought not to be a secret or mystery to you, but it will remain so if you lack knowledge, therefore, seek knowledge in the things that pertains to life.

 *Bible reading* : 

Matthew 13:1-23.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father God, I pray that you will give unto me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you.

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...
