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...

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...
