Keep on praying

DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD TUESDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER, 2020 TEXT: MATTHEW 7: 7-10 TOPIC: KEEP ON PRAYING  KEY VERSE: Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Prayer is in phases, you ask, you seek, you knock. All pointing to the truth that you should not give up on God in prayers because he is committed to you as a father who have good plans and thoughts for you.      Jesus want us to persist in the place of prayer, this may be hard especially when we are in a need of what we are asking for desperately. So many people give up when what they ask does not come their way. They did not seek or bother to knock. Knowing God takes faith, focus and follow through.         So many prayers are left unanswered because of wrong motives in asking and not aligning with the will of God for us. God desires the best for us and he will give us that best in his own time if we do not give up in the place...

Do not throw your pearls to pigs

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD MONDAY 31ST AUGUST 2020 TEXT: MATTHEW 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.  TOPIC: DO NOT THROW YOUR PEARLS TO PIGS                 Pigs were unclean animals according to God's law. Anyone who touched an unclean animal became ceremonial unclean and could not go to the temple to worship until the uncleanness was removed. Do not give pigs pearls because they do not know the value or its worth. Instead of being value it will be messed up in the mud.              Jesus is citing this allegory to teach his disciples that teachings on holiness should not be taught to depraved men. It will not make sense to them but we should be discerning to know those who need such teachings. This will help us to maximize our time and have a fruitful witnessing . This does not mean...

Do not judge

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD SUNDAY 30TH AUGUST, 2020 Text: Matthew 7: 1-6 Topic: Do not judge Key verse: Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.          It is not our duty to condemn people or criticize them. Only God qualifies to judge because as humans we are limited with facts. Jesus tells us to examine our own motives and conduct instead of judging others. In most cases the character that bother us in others are often the habit we have ourselves. Instead of condemning someone, check to see if you deserve the same condemnation.    Jesus do not want us to condemn or judge people at all. He forbid it. He does not want us to tear others down in other to boost our ego nevertheless it is not an excuse or reason to overlook wrong behavior of others but we should be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit by exercising discipline when necessary and such discipline should not be to pull the person down but rather to draw him closer to God. Praye...

Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?             God do not want us to worry at all about what to eat, drink or wear because he had already taken care of it.            If God cares about birds and wild flowers and ensured that they are well fed and grows well how much more you that is valuable than them. Worry have ill effects such as damaging health, affect our work, and above all affect our trust in God.              Jesus forbid us not to worry because he is aware of the negative effects of worry and it's implications. This does not implies that we should not be concerned about our ...

You cannot serve God and riches

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD WEDNESDAY 26TH AUGUST, 2020 TEXT: MATTHEW 6: 24 TOPIC: YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD AND RICHES          You cannot serve two masters at a time faithfully without defaulting. This connotes that you can only have one master. We live in a materialistic world where  some people can do anything to get wealth . They lived all their lives storing wealth only to leave it behind.    Their love and desire for money far more exceed their commitment to their God and the salvation of their soul.          Whatever you store up, you will spend much of your time and energy thinking about. Whatever occupies more of your thoughts, time and efforts is your master. If riches increase, do not let it possess you or drive you out of the purpose of God. God alone deserves to be our master, we should serve him with all our possessions and should not allow the pursuit of wealth to make us deny our ultimate allegiance to God. Pr...
