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.

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...

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 ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
