STOP PLOTTING EVIL
(Matthew 21:33-43.45-46)
Jesus talks about the plot by the
chief priests and the Pharisees to kill Him. With a parable, He addressed them
and reprimanded them for frustrating the work of God. Jesus condemned them for
being disappointments unto God. For their unproductiveness as well, Jesus was
unhappy with them.
But why do you plot against
goodness? Why do you plot against progress? What gain do you derive in
frustrating the effort of God and of godly people? Why have you chosen to be a
disappointment to God and even to yourself?
A good number of persons in our
world today are experts in destroying others and the destiny of people.
Why is our leadership not bearing
fruit? Why is it that our religious worship is not as fruitful as it should be?
Are there elements plotting against the actualization of the sovereignty of God
in our society?
Child of God, you will not bear
fruit if you continue to plot against the will of God. You will not be fruitful
if you don't stop being careless with the grace of God in your life.
Make good use of this period to
bear good fruits. Work with God. Corporate with the grace of God. Stop being at
enmity with God.
Will you be able to be a better
person this period? Will you be able to meet divine expectations on you during
this Lent? God expects you to be Holy, to be faithful, to stop being a killer
of your saviour, to listen to His Son. Do these and win the favours of His
kingdom.
LET US PRAY
We thank You Lord for giving us the grace to
be partakers of Your kingdom. We pray against the plotting spirits in us.
Frustrate all those who plot evil against Your people, against our families,
against your will for us. May we inherit the joy You have prepared for us in
heaven through Christ our Lord. Amen
God bless your Friday (2nd Week
of Lent)
