JUDAS ISCARIOT 2

Text: John 13:17.

If you understand these things, how blessed you are if you put them into practice!

What started out as a smart game did not only cost Judas Iscariot his life, it made him to lose his place in God eternally.

2 Corinthians 13:5 says, *Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?* There's need for you to constantly examine yourself in the light of God's words to be sure you are still on track.

Judas Iscariot was one of the disciples that was given power to cast out devils, but by Luke chapter twenty two, it was recorded that  Satan had entered into his heart, (Luke 22:3). What happened to the power  that he received when Jesus sent them out two by two? Such power must have leaked out of his life.

DL Moody, an American evangelist and teacher once said, "I was filled with the Spirit at conversion.' 'I need to continue to be filled with the Spirit, because I leak." Like Moody, you must realize that you leak and must constantly ask for the infilling of the Holy Ghost.

Yes, it was prophesied long ago about the betrayer of Jesus Christ   in the book of Psalms, that, ‘Let his home become desolate, with no one living in it.’ It also says, ‘Let someone else take his position.’ (Acts 1:20) Though Judas' name was not mentioned in the prophecy, he played out the role nonetheless.

Don't use your life to fulfill evil prophecy. Don't corporate with the enemy in ruining the program of God for your life. Don't take the grace of God for granted. 

Jude chapter one verse three says contend earnestly for the faith that was once delivered to you. Philippians 2:12 says you should work out your salvation with fear and trembling. When you hear His words do not harden your heart. Christ Jesus started you up on this Christian journey, you must hold on to him and remain in Him to the very end. If you understand these things, how blessed are you if you put them into practice.

 *BIBLE READING* 

Philippians 2:12-18.

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...
