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...

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 Life – Mt. 6:25, Luke 12:22. Food (Eat/Drink) – Mt. 6:25, 31; Cloth - Mt. 6:25, 31; 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 ab...

TAKE NOTHING - Part I

TAKE NOTHING - Part I Maybe in the nearest future something worthwhile would be written on/about  THE BLESSEDNESS OF POSSESSING NOTHING. I just want us to reason together even as the Scriptures support that we do so... Let's go through this adventure of God's mind together..who knows maybe in His mercy He would make one or two things known to us thereof. Most challenges we encounter on a daily basis are as a result of what I call UNNECESSARY LUGGAGES. These luggages come in form of CARES, THOUGHTS, TROUBLES, AND ANYTHING THAT GETS THE HEART BURGLED AND WEIGHED DOWN.  This pound of loads has enough weight to cause depression, oppression, suppression and any other forms of PRESS causing heaviness of the heart. The very reason the Lord Jesus said, "DO NOT LET YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED". Our Saviour knew about this when he told the disciples in a short form of TAKE NOTHING i.e. "Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses; Nor scrip for your journey...
