YEAST

Text: Matthew 16:12.

Then they understood that he did not say to beware of the yeast used in bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.* 

 *For every thing Jesus warned us to beware of, you will do well to take it very seriously.* 

In Matthew 16:6, Jesus told His disciples, “Watch out! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!” His disciples took the word literally, presuming that He was talking about the kitchen yeast.

Well, we thank God Jesus explained what he meant. By yeast, He was referring to the teachings of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 

Though, they may not go by that name today, but you should be aware of anyone who comes in the name of God with teachings that is aimed at bloating the flesh.

In Matthew 24, while talking about the signs of the end time, the very first sign (warning) Jesus gave us are the deceivers. Matt.24:3-5. These deceivers will come in the name of Pastors, prophets, teachers and the likes and they will bring damnable heresies with them.

God didn't leave us in the dark about all these fake men of God that seem to be on the increase in our day. However, the onus is on you to know them and avoid them like plague. 

Hear what Peter has to say about this- 
Now there were false prophets among the people, just as there also will be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many people will follow their immoral ways, and because of them the way of truth will be maligned.(2Pe 2:1-2).

Don't be among the many people that will follow the immoral ways of these present day Pharisees and Sadducees. Instead take heed to the master's warning and separate yourself from among them.

 *Bible Reading :* 

Matthew 16:5-12.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father Lord, please help me to be established in your truth, so I  will not be tossed about with every wind of doctrine.

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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
