The Meek are the ones who submit to God, his word, leading and instructions..              The Meek can bear provocation without being inflamed by it rather they are silent or return with a soft answer and  can show displeasure when there is occasion for it. The Meek are easily pacified when angered, they do not get even with others and they are hardly provoked. It is the Meek that will inherit the earth, it is the Meek that will receive all the promises of God on earth.            The Meek are fortunate and happy because they are the proud owners of everything God has promised such as joy, love, hope, blessings, abundance, greatness, satisfaction and every good thing which cannot be bought.  Prayer: Father Let your Spirit of Meekness possess me in Jesus name. 

Daily insight with God Friday 31st July, 2020 Topic: Blessed are those who mourn Text: Matthew 5:4          There is a time to mourn. It is a moment that nobody can escape on earth. Jesus told his disciples that blessed are they when they mourn.             How can a person in a mourning state be blessed? Weeping may last for a night but joy comes in the morning. Mourning is in a little while and we should not mourn like unbelievers who thought it all ends here on earth but mourn like believers who knows there is eternal home. Some lost souls can also mourn when they realised how much they have wasted their time on pleasure of sin. In our mourning state, God have assured us that he will be there with us "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you" For every sorrow and grief, God is there to comfort us with great and unspeakable joy that will put laughter in our faces.           Heaven's joy is so great to compensate for any earthly sorrows that the children of G

Daily insight with God Wednesday 29th July 2020  Text :Matthew 5:1-3 Topic: The Beatitudes - A Paradox Key verse: Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:3            The Beatitudes are statements which are difficult to believe or which goes against general belief. Jesus began his sermon with words that seem to contradict each other.            God's ways are different from ours. As heaven is higher than the earth so is his thoughts higher than that of ours. The ways of the kingdom contradict the way of the world. The way of life will not make sense or appeal to a carnal man. The way of life is foolishness to those that are perishing.              If you want to live for God, you must be ready to be enemy to worldliness. Friendship with world is enmity with God. If you want to live for God you must be ready to say and do what seems strange to the world. Willing to give when others take, love when others hate, help when others abuse or stay awa

Daily insight with God Tuesday 28th July, 2020 Text: Matthew 5: 3 Topic: The Beatitudes            Beatitude means utmost perfect happiness.

Hope and joy is the deepest form of happiness, get to know Jesus on a deep relationship level and follow him at all cost regardless of what it may cost you. Prayer: Father help me to experience your utmost happiness in Jesus name.

He walked away from the crowd and taught his disciples the attitude that is expected of a believer. Our happiness lies in doing what God have told us to do. Before blessings there are instructions to be met. He carefully taught his disciples for hours so that they can understand the precept and the principles of the kingdom of God.          Anointing usually draw the crowd a result of miraculous honoured ministry. Anointing can draw one to Christ but it takes the Holy Spirit to convict one to be a believer. The making of disciple involve teaching about what matters in the kingdom, teaching is not enough until one does it. Doing what Christ teaches makes one a disciple. The mountain experience was not easy for
