ELEVENTH HOUR

Text :  Matthew 20:6

And about the eleventh hour he went out and saw others doing nothing; and he says to them, Why are you here all the day doing nothing?

Jesus spoke on different occasions about how you can receive eleventh hour miracles if you so positioned yourself.

Out of the twenty four hours in a day, Jesus  expects us to work for twelve hours figuratively speaking. _Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world._ (John 11:9). *Work is to be done during your day time, by the time your night comes, you will have no strength to work again.* 

So, in Matthew 20, Jesus told us about those that were employed to work for a full day's wage. They were to work from 6am to 6pm. Some  started the work at exactly 6am. Some were called in by 9am, some by 12 noon and some by 3pm.

When it was 5pm, the employer discovered  some workers whom he employed, Invariably, had only worked for one hour before the day was over.

When it was time to receive payment, those who came in at the eleventh hour got the same wages as those who had worked the full day. They received the eleventh hour mercy.

The thief at the right hand of Jesus received the eleventh hour miracle, he said the right thing just few hours to his death and he entered into paradise. (Luke 23:43),

With only few hours to enter into 2024, you too can receive your eleventh hour miracle if only you will do these two things :

1.) *Have a personal encounter with Jesus.* It's not too late to offload your burdens on Him. He is more than able to take care of all your worries. 

2.) Say the right thing.  Don't complain,  don't murmur, just acknowledge Him as Lord and hand over all your cares snd burdens unto Him. 

Bible Reading:

Matthew 20:1-16.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, please give me wisdom to cast all my cares and burdens unto you.

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...

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...
