THE GARMENT-2

Text :  Matthew  22:12.

And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

Some will be speechless in heaven when they appeared there without the right garment. 

Contrary to what the devil wants people to believe, God doesn't want anyone to go to hell. He made this abundantly clear in His words to us. He says in 2 Peter  3:9  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

 *God's love is shown in His patience towards this perversed and crooked generation, He's patiently waiting for sinner to repent and be saved.* 
His desire is that all should repent and come to the knowledge of the truth. 1Timothy 2:4.

This explains why Jesus gave an open invitation to all, to come to the wedding banquet-an Heavenly feast. None of us qualifies to be at this wedding but His mercy reached out to us nonetheless. 

He sent His servants to call in all and sundry to the Wedding. In Matthew 22:10, it was recorded that those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

Despite the fact that an open invitation was rolled out to both the bad and the good, God  expects all to appear in wedding apparel. 

The call unto salvation  is open to all, but once you honour this call, you are expected to bring forth fruit of repentance.

Luke  3:8 says, "Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you,that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham".

We live in an era where the subject of repentance is stylishly being silenced. *It's a huge disservice to major in what God minors in and to minor in what He majors in.* 

The message of the cross is very simple, call men everywhere unto repentance. Acts 17:30. Anyone who has accepted the word of truth must see to it that he is clothed in the right garment. 

When Jesus saw the guy that was not properly dressed, hear what His verdict was -  _Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth_ 

Being in the kingdom without following the kingdom lifestyle and protocol will only attract the ultimate punishment at the end of the day.

Bible  Reading:

Mathew 22:1-14.

PRAYER FOCUS

Father God, help me to always yield to your leadings within me so that I can be ready for the marriage supper of the lamb.

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 ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
