KEY SCRIPTURE: Matthew 6:22 KJV” The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light”.

The Lord says the eye is the light of the body. If the eye is sound, then the whole body is full of light. Our world, because of the sun, is bright with light, during the day time. The ability for our body to benefit from this bright light is for our eyes to be good. The Lord said further in the next verse that, Mat 6:23 ” But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! He also added that if the eye is bad then the whole body shall be full of darkness. After these two physical analyses He explained that if the light in you, or your eye in you is darkness, then you would be in a terrible darkness. According to the Lord Jesus, we have two kinds of eyes.

1.Our outer eyes

2.Our inner eyes. (the eyes of our heart)

Our outer eyes see the outer world yet our inner eyes have to do with, how much one relates with God and His ways. It also determines whether Satan or devils rule that individual. Rom 1:21 KJV” Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. “This scripture shows how and why some people BLIND their inner eyes. If you oppose an obvious truth you destroy the eye of your heart. The result is very vile actions and sinful ways. (please read Rom 1:18-28). The so-called elite world has taken a very deplorable path into all kinds of sinful ways, because they have rejected the truth about God’s greatness and revelation of Himself.

HOW can a man receive healing to his blinded heart? If you would humble yourself to God’s word and receive it, every blindness would be healed and light would flood your soul. There are some Christians who have some levels of darkness within them. Some are as a result of a hardened heart towards the truth, and others are as a result of lack of ignorance (Hosea 4:6). 1John 1:6 KJV” If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk-in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:” Weakness of every kind in our lives is a sign of some level of darkness. Is it bad temper resulting in bitter actions, is it immorality or some kind of demonic control? The way out is repentance and accept the truth. Joh 8:32 KJV” And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Go for the light of scripture and destroy every blindness in you.

CONFESSION

My heart is flooded with light and so my life is liberated from all wrong ways. Satan has no part in me. I rather dominate every evil way. Thank God I am more than a conqueror

KEY SCRIPTURE: Matthew 6:19 KJV “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal”:

The Lord in His teaching on the. Mount tells His audience not to lay up treasures on this earth, but to lay it up in heaven.

Men are always torn between the natural and the spiritual. Life is fundamentally spiritual and must be approached that way. The call from the Lord Jesus to lay up treasures in Heaven is the total expectation of all who have accepted to follow Christ. The fundamental meaning of this statement is to walk by faith and not by sight. God our Father would one day judge and reward us for whatever we did in this world. 2Corinth 5:10 KJV” For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad”. There is going to be a day of accountability, so make sure you live to please God always.

What is our treasure?  Our treasure is anything that is of utmost importance to us. To lay up your treasure in heaven is to use all those things that are most dear to us, to serve the course of Christ. One of this treasurable resource is our time. Consciously use your time to serve the Lord. Another important resource is our money. Many will rather keep their money for so called personal use, and give the leftovers to God. This is a big error. Let God have the best of your money. Our strength is another treasurable resource that we have. We can use it purely to serve our purposes on this earth, or use our strength to foster the kingdom of God. The Lord added that on this earth there is always a power of decay. The Lord referred to moth, rust and thieves that can break into whatever you establish in the flesh. This also means everything done in this flesh has an expiry date. It is also destructible. Anything done for the glory of God will last forever (Rev 14:13)

The Lord added that, where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. What does the location of our hearts as a result of our treasure mean? It is the determinant whether we live at peace with ourselves on this earth or not. Everything in this life according to the Lord is subject to decay. Since our hearts go into where our treasure is, the power of decay attacks the heart that is located in the treasures we deposit on this earth. How miserable are the souls of millions of men and women whose treasure is in this world? They may not openly admit it yet, no one who has his treasure in this world is genuinely at peace. Get this point very clearly, to lay up treasures in heaven is to live for Jesus Christ. Only Jesus can satisfy the longings of your soul. If you are not living a life of peace, then you are only living for yourself. Turn your life over to Jesus now, for a true life of peace.

CONFESSION

Thank you, Lord Jesus. I lay up my treasures in heaven. I am therefore at peace with myself. My heart cannot be attacked by the moth, rust and robbers of this life.

(Pls Read Matt 6:9-13)

Our Lord Jesus gave His disciples a model prayer in our above passage. He said after this manner or form should ye pray. We would consider each statement and then take our lessons from it.

HE said in verse 9 that we address God as our father in heaven. This means, God is our Father who is above everything or challenge. If He is above all then he is worthy of our praise, worship and able to meet every need.

1.Pray by worshipping and praising Him, declaring He is above all.

HE went on to say that they pray that the kingdom of God should come and the will of God be done. The kingdom of God is the rule of God over our lives. This demands the submission of our will to His.

2. In prayer, tell the Lord you submit your will to His will, reign and authority

 HE then said, they ask for their daily bread

3.Ask for various needs to be met

The Lord told them to ask for the forgiveness of their sins as they forgive others

4.Pray that you forgive all who have offended you,

as God for Christ Jesus sake, has forgiven you all your sins (Eph 4:32)

The Lord then talked about asking the father to lead us in the path of life and deliverance from evil.

5. Submit your life to the leading of the Spirit of God and pray claiming exemption from all evil works of darkness and deal with all satanic works against your life. (James 4:7)

6. Give honour praise and glory unto the Lord

These six points can be a standard way to pray, taken from the model prayer the Lord taught His disciples.

PRAYER

Thank you, Lord, for teaching us how to pray. By your prayer I give glory and praise to my father who is greater and mightier than all. I receive answers to my requests because I pray according to His will and also believe in Him as well.

(PLEASE read Matt 6:5-8)

The Lord Jesus on His teaching on the mount, also talked about the right ways to pray. The following is a highlight on some principles that He talked about.

Verse 5: Prayer is not for public show

Verse 6. Prayer is purely MAN communicating with God. When men treat prayer this way, God answers, and all will see it.

Verse 7 Pray in faith.

Verse 8 Be assured of God’s omniscience and omnipotence

The Lord addressed the errors that the Pharisees used to commit. He also talked to those who would be sons of God and to rightly relate with God must Know and avoid. Prayer is a serious business and must not be used to win the praises of men. Prayer would lose its essence if approached that

 way. Some people have also taught that, because of what Jesus said about praying in your closed doors, one cannot pray in the open. This is a misunderstanding of the scripture. The Lord Jesus prayed publicly at the tomb of Lazarus. The import of His teaching is to avoid attracting the praises of men, because of your praying.

The Lord also talked about not using vain repetition in prayer. This is an example of how they did it. He says O God, and repeats it about four to five times. He says O God, O God, O God, O God. He makes a request for his school fees. He repeats, O God, my school fees. This person keeps repeating this for about five to eight times. The Lord calls it vain or empty repetition. Do not pray this way. Praying this way kills every faith in you, and cannot brink any answers to you.

Prayer is strong when you pray on the basis of the word of God. Always know what the Bible says and make your request on that grounds. The following is what he has said about answered prayer. Mar 11:24 KJV “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” This is the prayer of faith. This is the eternal word of God that is forever settled in heaven and God’s faithfulness is from generation to generation. Psalm 119:89,90

The Lord also said, the father knows your request even before you asked Him. God is all knowing and He is all powerful. Believe in Him and be ever confident in Him. Although He knows your request before you ask, asking fulfills His principle that says man must always ask God before He steps into man’s case.

CONFESSION

I do not pray to attract any man’s attention. I pray to receive answers to bring glory to God. I do not repeat words in my prayers but rather I pray on the basis of God’s word, and He always answers me.

1 John 5:15 KJV” And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”

KEY SCRIPTURE: Matthew 6:1 KJV “Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.”

Our Lord Jesus after talking about a number of issues, instructed His audience not to do their alms before men, in a bid to gain the praises of men. This is a topic a number of us may say it is a very simple matter, and that, we do not make noise about the good deeds we do. I believe this is an issue that touches on a lot of aspects about our life. There are certain choir members who strife among themselves so they would be the lead singers. They do all these things in order to attract the praises of men. There are some preachers who preach to show how eloquent they are. Some people do whatever they do in order to attract the praises of their bosses. In the absence of their bosses, they would do whatever they like. In our passage of discussion, the Lord teaches that, there is a reward from the Lord for whatever kindness we show. Always focus on the rewards God has for you. Do all your good deeds according to His terms.

Apostle Paul tells the brethren in Colossians to do everything not as unto men but unto God. Col 3:23 KJV” And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; “Dear child of God, men are not our ultimate judges but God. He would reward us now, and at the last day. There are many of us who are not able to promptly obey God because of the views of those we claim to admire. If Abraham had enquired of the views of others, could he have presented Isaac as a sacrifice in obedience to God? Apostle Paul says when the Lord called him, he conferred not with flesh and blood. (Galatians 1:16) Do not interfere your service of God with the acknowledgement of men.

When the Lord was giving, the criteria that qualifies one to be His disciples, he said in Luke 14:26 KJV, “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” To qualify to be a follower of Jesus, no man must interfere or come between you and Him. He is either the first or not at all. The Christian life is the relationship between man and God with the resultant effect towards men. It is never the relationship between man and man and the resultant effect towards God. God is the reason for our existence. It is that which pleases Him that matters. What really pleases God, is to love all men, and be a blessing to them, yet, do not seek man’s praises, for it is God who would reward you. Put God first always.

CONFESSION.

Thank you, Lord, for your abundant blessings, I likewise express this kindness towards all men, knowing that, it is your goodness that has enabled me to do so. I do not seek the praises of men, Thank you Lord.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:48 KJV “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”

The Lord Jesus after talking about various topics added that we must be perfect. He said we must be perfect even as our Father in heaven  is perfect. Would God ask us to do something we cannot do? Every instruction of God or command has within the word the power to fulfill the instruction. 1John 5:3 KJV” For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.” It is to our good to accept  this instruction to be perfect. All things are possible to him that believes Mark 9:23

HOW can one lead a perfect life.? .

1. Accept the word with all your heart, and say, I will be perfect just as my father is perfect. Whenever you believe the word you receive a transforming power to become what that word says.. Rom 12:2a KJV” And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,…… “.This verse says it all. Perfection is beyond human achievement. It takes the supernatural power of God working through a man, to make him perfect. This takes place as you yield to every instruction of scripture. Within every instruction lies the ability for its fulfillment. Commitment to the word is the vital step that releases the miracle power within that word of God.

2. Love the Lord with all your heart. Imperfection is always a function fear. 1Jn 4:18 KJV” There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love..” God values men who love Him very highly. The Lord rightly says in 1 Corinth 8:2&3. If a man says he has knowledge then he knows nothing at all , but the man who loves God, God says he knows him. Daniel was described as a perfect man because he loved the Lord. (Daniel 6:3).A lover will do anything to please his Lord even at the peril of his life.

3. One must know exactly what the Lord says. When a man is rightly instructed in the word, he would know what is expected, to be done. Rom 10:2 KJV “For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.”

These people could not please God because they had no proper knowledge of God’s right ways. Get to know the truth, and it will make you free.

CONFESSION

I am born of the Spirit of God. I have the ability of the Spirit within me. I manifest the life of the Spirit as I yield to Him. The Spirit of God is the agent of perfection.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:44 KJV t9 “. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;”

This time the Lord Jesus taught that we must love our enemies and pray for those who despitefully use us. The underlying taught in all these teaching is that we should be non violent and kind to all men. It takes one dominated by the Spirit of Christ to exhibit this virtue. Some Christians find such teachings very repulsive. There are a number of Christians who feel very bitter about all kinds of mistreatments metered to them either by their close associates or people they encounter. The Lord Jesus proved this trait when He was crucified on the cross. He prayed and asked for forgiveness for them. Stephen, also did the same. When he was been stoned, He prayed for forgiveness for those who were killing him. Act 7:60 KJV “And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep”.

How can one love His enemies? Every child of God must come to terms with the power of the supernatural life at work in him. Every Christian have passed from death to life. He has ceased to be a natural man. As a man acknowledges that he is a supernatural man, he has the realization and ability to do supernatural things. Secondly when a man grows in the knowledge of God through consistent fellowship, he naturally develops the God kind of heart towards all men. Thirdly the more spiritual one grows the more he will not value carnal things like anger and vindictiveness to dominate him, but to show love and mercy. This life of love, mercy and forgiveness, is the normal life of the child of God. The one who forgives has set himself free from slavery to the one who hurt him. (You are always a slave to the actions of those you hate)

Dear brother, to be bitter towards those who hurt you is to weaken your ability to face and overcome difficult people. Note also that you would always face people who would offend you and act in very selfish ways. Please do heed to the Lord’s counsel. Learn to love all persons. Praying for people is one of the practical ways to overlook their shortcomings and accept them. Dear husband, start praying for your wife, whose actions and outbursts has been putting you on urge. Tell the Lord you love her and the spirit of the Lord should help her out of that negative behaviours. Wife you must likewise pray for your abusive husband. After praying this way, most of the negative emotions towards each other will easily go away.

You would be able to accept your partner in spite of his or her shortcomings. The same also goes for others who may be offending you. Please pray for them, and show kindness to them

CONFESSION

Thank you, Lord, for the heart of love for all persons. I do not curse those who hurt me, but rather I pray for them and bless them. I am able to love them more because of the power of your Spirit in me. Thank you, Lord,

KEY SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:34 KJV” But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:”

On the sermon on the mount our Lord Jesus treated a number of topics concerning the right ways to live with ourselves, relating to others and also relating rightly to God. The Lord said among the many things that, we should not swear. Swearing is to affirm a statement with an oath. Swearing normally comes from a desperate moment in which an individual seeks to prove the truthfulness of a matter. We find that in our law courts witnesses are made to swear before they make their statement. How is this related to the Lord’s statement, asking us not to swear? I believe the Lord meant in our day-to-day experiences; we must not swear. The Law courts are state authorities that has instituted this mode of giving statements and should be observed as such. The same goes for state offices like the president, vice president and others who have to swear on the Bible, Koran, the cross or any other form of allegiance. The Lord in His teaching was referring to our day-to-day relationship with each other. We must let our yes be yes and no to be no. The Lord said any other thing comes from evil. Matthew 5:37. Most acts of swearing comes with some very dirty words.

During the trial of the Lord Jesus Apostle Peter who decided to get close by, was accused of being one of the disciples of Jesus. Matt 26:74 KJV “Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew”.  Apostle Peter denied his knowledge of the Lord with an oath. He cursed as he denied or defended his position. Peter was desperate at that instant because he feared for his life. Many of us may find ourselves in similar situations, yet we’ve got to know that we have ceased to live for ourselves but unto the Lord.

HOW do we act when lies are spoken about us? The Lord Jesus gave us a perfect example when He was tried before He was crucified. In Matthew 27:11, the Roman governor, asked him, are you the King of the Jews? He answered you have said so. Right after that the chief priest and scribes accused him of various things, yet he did not answer. When Pilate spoke about something which was the truth, He answered and said you say so. When the chief priest spoke about issues that were false, he did not answer. What is the Lord teaching us by His example? Always acknowledge what is truth, but you may not answer to that which is a lie. Don’t fight lies. It is a waste of time. Note that every lie comes from the devil, and a very good response is to ignore him. If you must answer, then tell him what the word of truth says. Choosing to swear would lead to something wrong. You can’t defend truth. Truth is like a lion, and will always defend itself. There is no need to curse and give an oath to prove that what you are saying is truth.

CONFESSION

I keep my yes as yes, and my no as no. I do not attempt in anyway to prove the truth with an oath. I don’t have anything to prove about myself. I live for Jesus and so defend His course alone.

KEY SCRIPTURE

Matthew 5:37 KJV” But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

Matthew 5:36 KJV Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

KEY SCRIPTURE:1 Chronicles 21:1 KJV” And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.”

In our key scripture, we see Satan moving David to number the Israelites against the will of God. Many actions of people are an influence from demons or evil spirits. A lot of very disturbing actions from married people has demonic sources. The sad truth is that, their partners do not see it that way and so respond to their action, by calling for divorce. Once, Jesus informed His disciples that He would be captured by the Jews and given to the Romans to be crucified. The Bible said, Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him saying, this shall never happen to you. The Lord also gave the following response to Peter, Matthew 16:23 KJV ” But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.” The Lord did not rebuke Peter but addressed Satan who was speaking through him.

What is it that makes your wife so angry and even insulting? What drives your husband to speak so proudly and almost inconsiderate of your feelings.? Many of such actions are demonically influenced. As a pastor and a Counsellor, I have seen people set free from unseen spirits that seek to destroy the marital home. The major signs of demonic manipulations are

1.Anger that turns to rage.

2.Abusive language that can even turn violent.

3 Strong and unexplained dislike for your spouse

4 Strong and uncontrollable desire for another partner

5 Sex in dreams, that normally results in disappointments in, the experiences of the spouse.

6.Blatant lies that are unexplainable.

Many marriages are under demonic attack, yet the spouses attack each other, not knowing the real enemies.

HOW can one handle such conditions?

If you happen to notice some of these tendencies in your spouse, then some foreign power may be at work. Start interceding for your spouse by attacking that spirit. Call it’s name by the traits it manifests, commanding it to leave your spouse. You may not necessarily do it in his or her presence, yet pray for him or her all the same. You may add fasting if there seem to be no change. You can also discuss with your pastor, who would pray with him or her in your presence. Never tell your spouse, he or she  has a demon. That would be very irresponsible on your part.

Please don’t rush to call for a divorce. Don’t allow those negative tendencies to create a corresponding anger and hatred in you.

PRAYER

Father, I pray for all your children whose homes Satan is manipulating. Lord grant the hurting partners to be more diligent in prayer and deliver that partner under satanic attack.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:32 KJV” But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.”

We continue with our discussion on the topic of divorce and remarriage. In our last study we asked a few questions which point to very serious eternal consequences. We realized that one could lose his salvation and end up in hell if he or she persisted with breaking their marriage and remarried. I wish to say that, the fact that a number of people have divorced and remarried, and are living normal lives does not mean God has changed his word. THE SCRIPTURE CANNOT BE BROKEN. For example, if half the population of the world was to be involved in homosexual marriages, that cannot make it right or change what God has said about it. Lev 18:22 KJV “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”. The general acceptance of divorce as a normal way of life does not change what Jesus said that, it is unacceptable, if done outside the clause of fornication.

Let’s come to some practical issues. What does one do when he has a very stubborn or difficult wife? What about the lady who has a difficult problem causing husband? There are cases that the life of a partner in marriage may be in danger by virtue of either the man’s actions or the woman. On this ground there may be a separation according to the scripture. 1Corinth 7:11 KJV” But and if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

” Please note that the Lord added although there may be separation, there should not be a putting away, or a divorce. Dear brother or sister the present spate of divorce clearly reveals our world is out of the will of God. One may ask, can there be a divorce when there is no marital unfaithfulness. I believe there may be. (The Roman Catholic church does not acknowledge certain marriages, when one party conceals a vital truth that should have been made known).

Now let’s consider the following thought. When one has certain challenges in life, for example a problem son, does he or she not pray till there comes a solution. Why would you put away your wife or your husband at the slightest problem they may pose? The real problem is that, people have trivialized divorce so much that, they easily call for it at the slightest difficulty. Let it be settled in your mind that DIVORCE is not an option. Let Pastors preach it till, it catches up with the body of Christ. This will also mean; people have to take time to enter into marriage knowing what God has said about divorce. Dear child of God, God has assured us of His readiness to answer prayer. We need patience, faith and persistency in prayers to overcome certain challenges posed by certain partners, till they see God bring answers. (DEMONS do attack marriages a lot).

 PRAYER

Father I pray for all couples to learn to trust in you. Let the church accept the seriousness of divorce, so it would be avoided for peace to prevail among your children.
