Topic :Heeding The Call Of The Spirit.
Memory Verse : Matthew 22:11. Now, when the king entered the banquet hall, he looked with glee over all his guests. But then he noticed a guest who was not wearing the wedding robe provided for him.
Bible Reading : Matthew 22:8-10 TPT. Key Verse : v9.
“Then the king said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, yet those who had been invited to attend didn’t deserve the honor. Now I want you to go into the streets and alleyways and invite anyone and everyone you find to come and enjoy the wedding feast in honor of my son.’ “So the servants went out into the city streets and invited everyone to come to the wedding feast, good and bad alike, until the banquet hall was crammed with people!
Here we see Jesus teaching about God’s kingdom from the preceeding chapter, which he came to the earth as a man to build which many was and is still resistant to. The Chief Priests and Pharisees were infuriated and sought to lay hands on him but couldn’t because of the people who was seeing Jesus as a messenger of God. Jesus discerning their thoughts then began to address their resistance to the way of life and truth with the parable of the rich man who threw a heavy feast for his dear son and invited many guests, who showed no interest in participating. Because the man had already spent money, time and every available resources to make all things ready for that very important day. He had to take cogent measures to fill in the gap to make sure the feast won’t be a flop and his preparations wasted.
“Jesus again used parables in talking to the people. “The Kingdom of heaven is like this. Once there was a king who prepared a wedding feast for his son. He sent his servants to tell the invited guests to come to the feast, but they did not want to come. So he sent other servants with this message for the guests: ‘My feast is ready now; my bullocks and prize calves have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast!’ But the invited guests paid no attention and went about their business: one went to his farm, another to his shop, while others grabbed the servants, beat them, and killed them. The king was very angry; so he sent his soldiers, who killed those murderers and burnt down their city. Then he called his servants and said to them, ‘My wedding feast is ready, but the people I invited did not deserve it.” Matthew 22:1-8 GNB.
The other day some people tried to engage me in a discussion. To them life is all about what a man feels is right in his own wisdom or things men achieve on earth that the eyes can see, even when they live in error or do wrong things. But we must see this life beyond material acquisitions, if we must get it right with God. God’s standard and that of men we must note doesn’t agree most time, Isaiah 55:8. Jesus came to the earth to help us understand that there’s life beyond the surface of the earth. His father sent him to prepare men for life after here. Jesus is the son of an unlimited and more than wealthy God who wants us to become part of him through his son who is an adorable brides groom. Even today many are still full of excuses and others hatred for the way of truth. They don’t want to be his bride or part of the church being prepared. Men trample on grace to their own dismay. God in our days are raising stones and people who are counted as unqualified in some quarters, so that he may qualify them when they humbly heed the call of our creator and accept the salvation he made available through his son Jesus. Anyone who tries to enter by other means or way on the last day will be found on the wrong side. This is because only the garment of righteousness washed in the blood qualifies men before a most righteous and holy God and be counted. Act 4:12.
Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus for shedding your blood on the cross for the sins of the whole world. Thank you because you are preparing a people for yourself. Today, I surrender my life, will and plans to heed the call of your Spirit. Thank you because I won’t be found wanting on the last day in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Luke 26:19-31.
