TAKE NOTHING - Part II

TAKE NOTHING – Part II

Previously, we’ve learnt about what take nothing could mean. Today the aspect of take nothing we shall be going through is “THOUGHT.” Take no thought on what? You would like to know, right? The Lord did not leave us in the dark concerning this. Categorically, there are four aspects He addressed

  1. Life – Mt. 6:25, Luke 12:22.
  2. Food (Eat/Drink) – Mt. 6:25, 31;
  3. Cloth - Mt. 6:25, 31;
  4. Speech – Mark 13:11

Let’s be sincere to ourselves and truthful to God. Aren’t we troubled about the listed items above? We sure do. Why? Because we think we need more than God’s promise to survive. That’s a spirit of error. I plead you cast that out. How on earth could we believe we need more than God to live.

Is the Omnipotent power now failing? God forbid! Are His thoughts towards changing? Be it far from Him. Could it be that He’s a liar and that He won’t fulfill that which He’s said? Capital NO, Let God be true! Does it mean that He’s no longer the Sovereign God over all about whom it was written that, “He is good to all and rich over all”? The Possessor of the Heaven and Earth, Hallowed be thy Name. Have forgotten so soon that, “…in Him we live, move and have our being…?”

Now tell me, have you been able to provide all these for yourself without Him? So, why the stress? He who says, take nothing is able to give all things. Just follow as He leads. Don’t try to go past Him… you know not where the way leads, but He knows.

The words of the Scriptures such as “Be careful for nothing…” aren’t meant to cajole us or deceive us. They are real. Jesus said, they are Spirit and Life… Clothes, another subject of discussion. They come in various colours and sizes… to what end? Moth and Canker! And also, Speech, that would be later.

The concern is, we think we have all it takes to solve life’s challenges. Where has that led you? Allow me to use this American intonation, “If you don’t gat Jesus, you gat nothing.” These are what God can do. Clear the decks! God has something great for you in mind, but when you’re occupied with many things, where will He be! Clear all… Nothing should be found, so that God can be the fullness of All in All. If you take something, you may think it's that which you've taken that paved way. Take Nothing! Open the window and shoots in the Name of Jesus.
Remember, don’t forget the word of the Lord, “Take Nothing”…

Take nothing greetings to You All.

TAKE NOTHING - Part III

TAKE NOTHING - Part III Are we any better with all we've taken? Or are we any less for not taking them. The children of Levi would have thought that God was cruel and wicked at first for not giving them an inheritance alongside their brethren. This could be mostly ascribed to them not knowing the mind of God. When God told them not to take anything or share with the remaining tribe, they would have felt used, cheated or wasted; just like most of us do feel nowadays. We go about complaining, nagging and murmuring our lack, wants and needs. Is God not aware? For your Heavenly Father know that ye have need of them, saith Jesus. Now to the Levites, they had no inheritance to share with their brethren...did that make them destitute, wretched or any poorer? At all. THE PRIESTS THE LEVITES, AND SHALL HAVE NO PART NOR INHERITANCE WITH ISRAEL:...Deuteronomy:18:1. If you were to be in their shoes then, what would your reaction be? They followed well the hymn which says, LET'S GO TO

NOW THAT YOU KNOW

NOW THAT YOU KNOW Know what you asked? That's; Salvation comes of the Lord and not by any form of fretting or good works, why then don't you go to Him for yours. A delay is too deadly a time to waste in this case. I'm also convinced you know by now that Jesus is coming. Yes, you have this conviction in your heart. You can't afford to continue living your life the same way compared to those in the world. It's brought to your knowledge this day again as a reminder that, WE BROUGHT NOTHING TO THIS WORLD NEITHER WOULD YOU TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF IT. I'm sure you know this.... All this your flamboyant and glamorous but questionable lifestyle is too costly and risky to put your mansion on high on mortgage... If at you know you have one. Without gainsaying, you should have known that, striving with your Maker makes you to be in the same category with a potsherd... What's potsherd here? You're reduced to a piece. Also, you should have heard this and com

Full of UPs and DOWNs: Do you believe?

Full of UPs and DOWNs: Do you believe? The above stated theory is believed to have crept into us that we've concluded without questions. The postulation has been adopted into every activities full of hurly-burly. In people's tittle-tattle kind of or way of things, this theorem has been concessional. And just like little children when told not to do something by their parents, we've lived this far without questioning too at this stage and age. What? You've now reasoned to ask, Right? 1. What is full of UPs and DOWNs? 2. Who said it/this? 3. When was it told/How old is this belief? Let me hang on there; I will try as much as possible to answer the above questions to the best of my knowledge and if there are contrary opinions, I'm open for clarity and correction. Answer to the Questions 1. They say life is full of UPs and DOWNs. 2. I don't know the person. 3. Seriously, I don't know when it was said and how long. If you know, please tell me ...
