PRIORITISE HIS WORD

Text:Mark  13:31  
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

It is important for every believer to know that this present earth and heaven shall soon pass away. Apostle  Peter made it clear that the day of the Lord shall bring an end to this present home of man. He said, *"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up." (2Peter 3)* 

This is one truth that needs to be established in your heart-everything in this present world shall all pass away, except God's words. So, *anyone who is wise will place more value and priority on Jesus's Words above this present earth and all that is contained therein in an immeasurable way.* 

The words of Jesus is an enduring word, it lives and endures beyond this present earth and heaven. Having known this, you must also know that anything you build with the materials of this present earth and heaven will certainly pass away. It is therefore wise for you to build with materials that will never pass away which is Jesus' words. 

Jesus likened every hearer of His words to a builder. When you hear, but you do not do what you hear, you are simply building on sand. Such building shall be demolished by rain, floods and wind. But when you are a doer of His words, then you are building on the rock. Nothing will shake your building. It will stand for ever. (Matthew 7:24-27).

All that you see in this world shall pass away. Hence, anyone who is a lover of this present world shall pass away with it, but those that love and do the will _(word) of God_ shall abide for ever. (1 John 2:16).

Let Jesus' words abide in you richly,and be the doer of same, then you will become an enduring and a lasting vessel of God. Colossians 3:16

Bible  Reading:

2 Peter 3:1-12.

PRAYER FOCUS
Father God, I receive the grace to place your words above all else in my life.

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...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
