WALK WORTHY 3

Text:Ephesians 4:1

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,

The second virtue that  the Lord demands of us  for a worthy walk unto our calling is meekness. 

Our Lord Jesus Christ described himself as one who is meek and lowly in heart, and He asked that we should learn of him.

Meekness is of the heart, it is the mildness of disposition or gentleness of spirit. As a true learner (disciple) of Jesus Christ, meekness is a virtue through which you will inherit the earth. 
Matthew 5:5 says, *"Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth." Matthew 5:5.* To inherit the earth means many things, and one of these is having great influence over this earth. 

Moses in his own generation was a very meek man and he was able to confront the  strongest power of the world in his days - Egypt.

 _Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth_ .(Numbers 12:3).

The result of Moses' meekness was that the Lord fought for him even against his own brother and sister. *A meek man is not a weak man, but a man who has submitted himself and his strength under God's control.* Meek men are more powerful than the proud and arrogant even though they could appear as  weak and defenceless.

When Aaron and Miriam stood and spoke against Moses, the Lord Himself rose and fought for him.(Numbers 12). When Dathan, Korah and Abiram stood vehemently against Moses' leadership, it was the Lord who fought for Him.(Number 16).

God is always the defender of a meek man.
May you receive grace to be a true learner of Jesus Christ who is  meek and lowly one. (Amen).

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...
