STRENGTH THROUGH MEEKNESS


SCRIPTURAL READING: LUKE 6:27-38.    TEXT: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth".(Math 5:5)

COMMENTARY

Weakness is not being meek. Meekness is God-given power and understanding. Although Jesus was humble and meek, He was not a weakling. When He forced the money changers out of the temple, He demonstrated His might. The entire world and all of its sins were taken on by Him. He did not open his mouth as the lamb led the way to the slaughter. He did not revile when he did. Which strength? He was obedient till he died. Which Power?

As a result, God greatly exalted Him and gave Him a name that was superior to all others. Meekness is the cause of this.

As good stewards of God's abundant grace, we give away our gifts to those in need. The meek have the mind of Christ. They are not losers because God promises them the earth as their inheritance. He enriches them with grace and every blessing.


Prayer Points:

1. Jesus, my Lord, give me the strength that goes with meekness in Jesus name.

2. I receive the power that goes with humble faith in Jesus name.

3. Thank you Lord for your grace and blessings. Amen.

THE GOD OF COVENANT

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
