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...

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...
