TODAY’S TOPIC: Possess your belonging
Text: Luke 11:14-23 (NIV):
"11:14. Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed.
11:15. But some of them said, "By Beelzebub, the prince of demons, he is driving out demons."
11:16. Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven.
11:17. Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: "Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall.
11:18. If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebub.
11:19. Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
11:20. But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
11:21. "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe.
11:22. But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up the spoils.
11:23. "He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters.
SHOWER (Reflection):
A whole lots of lessons are imbedded in today's teaching. But our focus is mostly on 21 and 22. Our God in the book of psalm 91, reiterated that He has given us power to kill, destroy or safeguard. In verses 21 and 22 of today's reflection, Jesus reminded us what will happen to a person who fails to safeguard their house. An enemy, intruder or meddlesome interloper will come in and snatch away what the person had. This is why you must stand your ground in God. He is the only person that can help you keep your house in order. You can achieve this when you don't allow the world to control or dictate for you. When the going is good, they will call you names just to make You stop. Do not permit or grant them such access to divide or kill you.
