*TODAY’S THEME: The righteousness of the righteousness*
TEXT: Matthew 23:23-27
"[23]Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you give a tenth of your mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected and omitted the weightier (more important) matters of the Law–right and justice and mercy and fidelity. These you ought [particularly] to have done, without neglecting the others.
[24]You blind guides, filtering out a gnat and gulping down a camel! [Lev. 27:30; Mic. 6:8.]
[25]Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but within they are full of extortion (prey, spoil, plunder) and grasping self-indulgence.
[26]You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and of the plate, so that the outside may be clean also."
*SHOWER:*
Pig is one animal dislikes by many because of its untidy or filthy nature. The environments where they are being reared are generally seen as dirty (even though there are some reared at cleaned pens). Nevertheless, pork meat is scientifically proven to be highly nutritious. Yet people are rejecting it on account that it is not clean outside. People want it to be pure outside and inside. That is an example of what God is demanding from us. He want our yes to be yes, our no to be no. He wants a situation where we are practicing what we preach. He wants us to be pure by heart, words and action. He's not only interested on the type of cloth, shows, makeup or so we put on while coming to church. Not even the amount of money we are giving as offerings, tithes or projects we are executing alone. But to totally surrender to Him.
*PRAYER/DECLARATIONS*
Oh God, I want to totally surrender myself to You. Please, help me to know You more. Have mercy on me and allow me to follow you. Let Your grace be sufficient unto me in Jesus name, Amen!
*1. O God, I hereby surrender to You. I am now clean inside and outside to serve God.*
*2. There will be no condemnation on me today, tomorrow or in the last day. God has empowered me to do exploit.*
*3. As I step out today, God has commanded His favour and blessings to meet me and follow me although.*
*4. Therefore, I won't be disgraced by anyone. I won't be a disgrace to anyone or my generation.*
*5. There is nothing that can stop me from serving a living God. Whatever I decree unto myself, my household or anyone today must surely come to pass because God has empowered me in Jesus name, Amen!*
