OF MORE VALUE

Text: Matthew 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 means 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 person. Once this huddle is crossed, he fears if there would be children. 

When the children come, he fears if they would die, once they survived,  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...

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...
