The Meek

The Meek
Matthew 5:5 – Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth

A meek is a person that is quite spirited and gentle spirited. This is in sharp contrast to the proud and supercilious. The meek is always ever ready to associate with the meanest of those who fear God, feeling himself superior to none; and well knowing that he has nothing of spiritual or temporal good but what he has received from the mere bounty of God, having never deserved any favour from his hand. Apart from Jesus, Moses is a good example of the meek, Numbers 12:3.

The reward for being meek is inheriting the earth. They will never regret why they are meek, as none will infringe on them without God reacting. You can see that in the life of Moses when Mariam was made leprous and Dathan and his fellows were destroyed, all because they rebel against Moses (trying to make him feel worthless) – Numbers 12 and Numbers 16.

The first three teachings are connected. The connection is when you are poor in the spirit and mourns in the spirit, and then you will become meek. Hence, poverty in the spirit the promise of the kingdom is made; Mourning in the spirit, on account of this impoverished state, to which consolation is promised; Meekness established in the heart by the consolations received. Shalom!

Heart Not Garment - 2

By Date -
"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

The True Picture Of The Church Today II

By Date -
THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: Sunday 7th, June 2020. TOPIC: The True Picture Of The Church Today II TEXT: Rev. 3:15  MESSAGE "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot".Vs 15, so then because thou art lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Lukewarmness and indifference in religion is the worst tempter in the world. The husband of a lukewarm wife is always confused as he would not know when and how to please the wife. So are members of the church whose heart cannot be determined. They are between two opinions. We also have these in the church because they are high minded and proud, they have unknowingly overlooked the necessity of their souls as they gorgeously dressed up in Costly apparel at the expense and decay of their souls, making them to be wretched poor and miserable.  Also there is the state of blindness which the devil is using against the church today which has made them very weak and defensele...
