Prayer before the Word:
_O God, I have come again with Thanksgiving for making me to be living among the living today. Please revive and renew me as I study Your word in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: Stand firm and at alert
Text: Luke 12: 1- (NIV Bible)
"12:1 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
12:2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.
12:3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
12:4 "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.
12:5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
12:7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
12:8 "I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God.
12:9 But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God.
*SHOWER:*
Our today's text is reminding us of visibility or coverage. God is everywhere. There is nothing that could be hidden before Him. What you did in the dark is well known to Him. What you hide from your neighbours are not hiding to Him. This is why He is encouraging us to always be at alert. It's only when someone is awake that such a person can tell what is happening around him or her. By being awake also, you can tell when the hypocrites are around you, when evils are multiplying, when fake prophesies and false prophets are on prowl. With this, you can easily avoid or counter them with supervisor arguments. That is by speaking the truth. For the scripture says it is only by the truth we shall be set free. Verses 8 and 9 of today's passage insisted that we must profess him always or risk the danger of denying Him. Amend your way now before is too late.
