THE KINGDOM-2

Text: Matthew 13:19 

When anyone hears the word about the kingdom yet doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.

While explaining the parable of the sower to His disciples, Jesus mentioned some salient truths that we can't afford to turn a blind eye to. 

As already established yesterday, kingdom matters are revealed in words, and this is why you need to continually ask God for a hearing ears. Proverbs 20:12.

Not everyone with physical hearing ability has capacity to hear what the Spirit is saying, you need an inner ear to grasp that. Many are deaf spiritually, they just don't know it. Revelation 2:7.

One dangerous thing that happens to spiritually deaf people is that their life is opened to the operations of the evil one.

Jesus said anyone who hears the word about the kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart.

The devil has no problem with you going to Church in as much as you are not hearing what He is saying to you there. But the moment you are able to hear Him, he ( the devil) sees to it that you do not understand what you have heard. 

This is why he sent evil bird to cart away the seed of the word from the heart of the listeners. However, the evil one will not be able to perform his enterprise in your life once you have grasped what Jesus is saying to you.

Ask yourself, have you been hearing Jesus' words? How much of what He says to you do you understand ?

May He grant you understanding so that your profiting may appear to all.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father, I pray that the eyes of my understanding be enlightened; that I may know what is the hope of your calling.


Bible Reading:Matthew 13:1-23.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
