LESSONS FROM A MOTHER HEN.

Text : Luke 13:34.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones to death those who have been sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you people were unwilling!* 

The Bible frequently encourages us to learn from animals, not by adopting their behavior directly, but by observing their behaviors, diligence, and wisdom; and gleaning goodly wisdom from them.

Today, we shall continue to look into the behavioral pattern of a mother hen and glean one or two wisdom from her.

1.) *Love and Protection:* 
The hen fiercely protects her chicks from predators, demonstrating a strong bond of love and care. This emphasizes the importance of nurturing and defending those we love and care for.

It's very appalling to see how some parents are so nonchalant in the raising of the goodly children which God has committed into their hands. 

 *It is your responsibility as a parent to love and shield your wards and those within your circle of influence from predators through teachings, praying, caring and unflinching love.* 

One dimension of God that the devil does not want Christians to come into is love for one another. See to it that you obey this great commandment.

2.) *Persistence and Determination:* 
Even if not all eggs hatch, the hen will continue laying and nurturing future clutches, showcasing her persistence and unwavering hope. This highlights the importance of learning from setbacks and continuing to strive for success.
. 
Psalms 92:14 have this to say concerning you, *They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;** 

Regardless of your age, and not minding the challenges of the past, God promises you fruitfulness in as much as you are always connected to Him.

 *Prayer Focus* 

1. Father Lord, fill my heart with your love and help me never to be weary in well- doing in Jesus name.

*Bible Reading:* 

Luke 14:25-33.

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...
