THE MYSTERIES

Text : Matthew 13:11. 

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

 *Have  you ever wondered why some people are so dumb when it comes to spiritual things? Well, the things of the Spirit is indeed a mystery.* 

When Jesus Christ was asked by His disciples why He always speak to the people in parables and not in plain language; He told them that matters of the kingdom are mysteries and can only be unravelled to kingdom minded people. 

This is why some people make mockery of deep and spiritual matters because they couldn't make sense of it.

 *For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.* 1 Corinthians  1:18.

These kind of people should be prayed for, so God can open their eyes to spiritual things.  However,  it will be a double-loss if as a child of God you lack understanding of what has been given to you to comprehend.

The mysteries of the kingdom should not remain a mystery to you. This is because Jesus, our Lord and Saviour says it has been given to you to know this mysteries. 

It's one thing to get a gift, it's another thing to know how to use it. Responsibility is laid on you to seek to know what you have been permitted to know.

The things of the kingdom is like a student who has been offered admission to study in a prestigious university. This admission offers him the opportunity to bag a degree and probably proceed to accomplish greater feats, but, he can forfeit this great opportunity if he refused to study, go for  lectures and follow necessary rules and obligations expected of a student.

In the same vein,  if as a child of God,  you lack the desire for the word, for prayer and guidance of the Holy Spirit,  you will remain in the dark concerning what has been freely given to you to know. 

Give diligence to make your calling and election sure, 2 Peter  1:10. Take time to study the word in order to show yourself approved unto God. (2 Timothy 2:15)

Bible  Reading: Matthew 13:1-17.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, please grant me the wisdom to desire your words and grace to desire your presence all the days of my life.

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...
