HOLY THINGS

Saturday 27th February, 2021.


''Don't waste what is holy on people who are unholy don't throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls'' V6


FOR READING & MEDITATION: Matthew 7:1-6


Matthew 7:1-6 NIV

[1] “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 

[2] For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 

[3] “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 

[4] How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 

[5] You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. 

[6] “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. …


MEDITATION📖: 

Our Lord Jesus Christ says; we should not entrust holy things to unholy or unclean people. This is one big mistake going on in Christendom today. We have not paid too much attention to this instruction given by the Lord hence the many crises that have divided the church. In the deferent denominations, recognition is given to people for their meritorious services to the church. Ministers are also ordained or commissioned every year. The question is, how many of those we have giving one award or the other, ordained or commissioned actually merited it? Most times we have put godly requirements on paper hoping that those who satisfied such conditions would be honored. It is unfortunate that we are more on the side of breach rather than abiding by the Biblical injunctions. Leaders would deliberately ignore the word of God and chose to do otherwise because of material things.


Holy things have been given to unholy people, today they are now pastors, bishops, evangelists, 'men of God' etc. Those who ought to be followers have been made leaders. What do you expect, they will trample on the holy things and crisis becomes inevitable in the church. The arrow head of such crisis are never bench warmers, they are big people with church tittles who are trampling on holy things, attacking God's people and his work. If you are one of those bearing these tittles, please examine yourself whether your life style agrees with what you bear. If otherwise, then you are presenting yourself as a pig.


PRAYER🙏🏽:

Dear Lord, we ask for forgiveness in the way we handle holy things. We confess that we have fallen short of what we ought to be. Grant us a repentant heart.

EXCERPTS FROM: 24/7 WARFARE PRAYERS AND SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH MANUAL

INTRODUCTION Right from childhood, the number “SEVEN” has always been an intrigue, an interesting puzzle, a fascination, and a great phenomenon to me. I was actually born on the seventh day of the month; perhaps this was one of the reasons why something leaps inside of me whenever I see the number. But as I grew up in the Christian faith I began to see a regular reference to it the scriptures. I was kind of saying, whoa! Holy bliss! Seven occurs 257 times, or 7 × 41 Seventh, the fractional part occurs 98 times or 7× 14 Seven –fold occurs 7 times. Seventy occurs 56 times or 7× 8 “Seventy” in combination with other numbers occurs 35 times or 7× 5. God is pleased to stamp the number “Seven” with the seal of perfection and completeness. God never down played the importance of the number, because it was the number of God. It is a carrier of God’s mysteries. It pleased God that, the Seventh man from Adam – Enoch sh...
