Inherit the Wind

DATE - March 26th, 2022

TOPIC - Inherit the Wind

BIBLE TEXT - Those who bring trouble on their families inherit only the wind. The fool will be a servant to the wise. - Proverbs 11:29



It’s not difficult to imagine receiving your grandmother’s treasures or a piece of vintage from your grandpa, but what would it be like to inherit the wind? Think about it! 

It sounds grand until you consider the magnitude of the gift you received as a result of ignorance and arrogance. The wind is forceful, unruly, and can strike without warning. It may only whisk your hat off your head, but it also has the power to send ships careening off course. It goes where it wishes, whipping the small, the fragile, and the unrestrained where it will. 

We risk danger when we open the door and allow trouble to march in to our homes. Unwelcome guests with names such as unrestrained anger or petty arguments can whip through our homes and drive family members apart. Selfishness nudges joy out the window as love and kindness and gentleness fall to the ground like brittle, dead leaves. 

Our families were intended to be a sanctuary—a safe place for each of us. We all face trouble from time to time, but it should never be because we willingly allow it into our homes. Instead, let your home be characterized by a legacy of kindness, godly character, and faith. Choose today to bring good things to your family and to leave trouble outside the door.



PRAYER
FATHER, my loved ones are precious to me. I want them to inherit more than the wind. Forgive me for the times when I have allowed uninvited guests into my home. Help me to keep rage and petty arguments and selfishness far away. 

If I have willingly brought trouble to my family, help me to make amends. I don’t want the destructive wind of trouble to invade my home and family. I invite the gentle breeze of your Spirit to abide in us.

INSIGHT
Let your home be your parish, your children your congregation, your living room a sanctuary, and your knee a sacred altar.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

THE EASY WAY

Date 📅 23rd September, 2022 Topic The Easy Way Living Scripture Matthew 7:13 KJV Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: There are many ways and roads in life both spiritually and physically but the paths we choose to walk on determines our destination at the end. This world is full of sin and disobedience and selfishness, it has a wide gate welcoming everyone and it's paths are broad to gather much people in order to destroy their lives. Lying has become part of the way of so many today even some part of the church lie and claim it's the easy way out of troubles and confrontations. The easy way or short cut as it is often mentioned is not the way of life neither the way of righteousness. Looking for the easy way is looking for death, it is an invitation to false spirits that corrupts and pollutes. Let us seek to know the true path that leads to life and life in...

PECULIAR PEOPLE

Date 📅 31st August, 2022 Topic Peculiar People  Living Scripture 1 Peter 2:9 KJV But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: In the beginning God the Father was and is and is to come for a particular kind of people as He once did with Adam and eve in Eden. He created the heavens and the earth and everything that lives and breathes. And by the power of His Word He made man in His own image and likeness. Therefore man was made right from the beginning to be peculiar and fit for the glory of God. There was no plan in God's holy palm to reduce man to a pauper, it was our sinful ways and disobedience that caused us to fall short of this beautiful inheritance our first father once partook of. A peculiar People stands different, out of the ordinary, unusual and unpredictable from a specific clan or place. The scripture reads t...
