DON'T WORRY

Text : Matthew 6:27:

Can any of you add a single hour to the length of your life by worrying?* 
In this simple but piercing question, Jesus challenged one of humanity’s deepest habits: *worry* .

Worry is something we all experience. Whether it's about finances, relationships, health, the future, or even things we can't quite name — anxiety can quietly take root in our minds and steal our peace.

But Jesus, in His Sermon on the Mount, asks us to pause and to think or reflect on this question.

What does worry really accomplish?
Can it make us live longer?
Can it solve the problem?
Can it bring peace or clarity?

The answer, of course, is no. Worry has never added a single moment to anyone’s life. In fact, it often steals from it— not just  in hours, but in joy, focus, and spiritual growth.

Worry is often fueled by the illusion that we’re in control — or that we should be. Jesus lovingly reminds us that the One who holds the world also holds our tomorrow. When we shift our eyes from the unknown to the Known — from our problems to our Provider — we begin to loosen worry’s grip on our lives.

This verse doesn’t ignore real-life struggles. Jesus isn’t saying your concerns are meaningless.He actually acknowledged the fact that man needs necessary things of life .  in Matthew 6:32.

Instead, He’s inviting you to bring those concerns into the presence of God, where they can be transformed.

What’s something you’ve been worrying about lately? Name it.

Ask yourself honestly: Has worrying changed the outcome?

Take a moment to release that burden to God in prayer. Speak it aloud or write it down.

Memorize Matthew 6:27. Let it be a reminder to pause and pray whenever worry arises.

 *BIBLE READING* : 

Matthew 6:25-34.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father, please, I confess that I often let worry take the driver’s seat in my life. Help me to remember that You are in control — not me. Teach me to trust You more deeply in  Jesus name.

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 ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
