WALKING WORTHY

Text:Ephesians 4:1

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

 Yesterday, we were able to establish the calling which we are to walk worthy of. Today, we shall be looking at how to walk worthy of the calling.

In Ephesians 4:1&2, Apostle Paul wrote thus:
*"I... beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, (Ephesians 4:1-2)* 

Three virtues are highlighted as all-important factors with which every believer could walk worthy of. These virtues are bedrock for affirming your calling unto God.

Our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 11:29 declared Himself as having two of these virtues. He said,  "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am *meek* and *lowly* in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls."

The first of these three virtues is lowliness (humility). If anyone would like to come to God, such must be lowly (humble). *Our God is so highly exalted yet very  lowly. Anyone that  desires to come to God must also be lowly(humble).* 
For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: " I dwell in the high and holy [place,] With him [who] has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

This is the reason for which God resists  the proud. Hence, He's commanded us to be clothed with humility. 
 *"... all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for  " God resists the proud, But
 gives grace to the humble."* 

Your calling is unto humility, for therein is the supply of grace upon your life.

If God and His Son are lowly, then no one can enter into their company without being lowly.
(Humble). 

As a believer, humility is a strong virtue that helps you walk worthy of your calling.

*BIBLE READING* :
 
1 Peter 5:5-7.
 
 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father, please help me to be clothed with humility.

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...
