Jesus used ordinary images, such as salt and light, to convey extraordinary truths that transform our minds, hearts, and lives. What does salt and light have to teach us about God and the transforming power of his kingdom? Salt was a valuable commodity in the ancient world. People traded with it, like we trade with valuable goods, such as gold and stock. Salt also served a very useful purpose, especially in warmer climates before the invention of electricity and refrigeration. Salt not only gave rich flavor to food, it also preserved food from going bad and being spoiled.

God's power at work within us purifies and enriches our lives
Jesus used the image of salt to describe the transforming effect of God's work in our lives - and how the Holy Spirit wants to work in and through us to bring the power and blessing of God's kingdom to others. As salt purifies, preserves, and produces rich flavor for our daily food, we, too, as disciples of Jesus, are "salt" for the world of human society. The Lord wants to work in and through us to purify, preserve, and spread the rich flavor of God's kingdom everywhere - his "kingdom of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit" (Romans 14:17).

Don't lose your saltiness
What did Jesus mean by the expression "if salt has lost its taste... it is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trodden under foot" (Matthew 5:13)? Salt in the ancient world was often put into ovens to intensify the heat. When the salt was burned off and no longer useful it was thrown out on the ground where it would get stepped on and swept away (Matthew 5:13).

How can we lose our "saltiness" - the power of God's rich grace and strength at work in us? If we allow the world (which is opposed to God's truth and moral goodness), and sinful habits, and Satan's lies and deception to corrupt our minds and hearts, then we will lose the rich flavor and strength of God which preserves us from moral and spiritual corruption. The Lord wants us to preserve and enrich our "saltiness" - through Godly living and the rejection of sin - not only for our own sake but also for the sake of others who will be impacted by our witness and behavior.

Paul the Apostle reminds us that we are called to be "the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life" (2 Corinthians 2:15-16 ). Do you allow the fragrance of Christ's love, truth, and holiness to permeate every area of your life, your thoughts, words, actions, and relationships?

Let the light of Christ shine brightly in and through you for all to see
Jesus used the image of light and a lamp to further his illustration of God's transforming work in and through us. Lamps in the ancient world served a vital function, much like they do today. They enable people to see and work in the dark and to avoid stumbling. The Jews also understood "light" as symbol or expression of the inner beauty, truth, and goodness of God. In his light we see light ( Psalm 36:9). His word is a lamp that guides our steps (Psalm 119:105). God's grace not only dispels the darkness in our lives, it also fills us with the light of Christ's truth, wisdom, joy, and peace.

Jesus used the image of a lamp to describe how his disciples are to live in the light of his truth and love. Just as natural light illuminates the darkness and enables one to see cleary, so the light of Christ shines in the hearts of believers and enables us to see the heavenly reality of God's kingdom (Ephesians 5:13-14). Our mission is to be light-bearers of Jesus Christ so that others may see the truth of the Gospel and be freed from the blindness of sin and deception.

There is great freedom and joy for those who live in the light of God's truth and goodness. Do you know the joy and freedom of living in God's light?

Lord Jesus, you guide me by the light of your saving truth. Fill my heart and mind with your light and truth and free me from the blindness of sin and deception that I may see your ways clearly and understand your will for my life. May I radiate your light and truth to others in word and deed

What is the good life which God intends for us? And how is it related with the ultimate end or purpose of life? Is it not our desire and longing for true happiness, which is none other than the complete good, the sum of all goods, leaving nothing more to be desired? Jesus addresses this question in his sermon on the mount. The heart of Jesus' message is that we can live a very happy life. The call to holiness, to be saints who joyfully pursue God's will for their lives, can be found in these eight beatitudes. Jesus' beatitudes sum up our calling or vocation - to live a life of the beatitudes. The word beatitude literally means "happiness" or "blessedness".

God gives us everything that leads to true happiness
What is the significance of Jesus' beatitudes, and why are they so central to his teaching? The beatitudes respond to the natural desire for happiness that God has placed in every heart. They teach us the final end to which God calls us, namely the coming of God's kingdom (Matthew 4:17), the vision of God (Matthew 5:8; 1 John 2;1), entering into the joy of the Lord (Matthew 25:21-23) and into his rest (Hebrews 4:7-11). Jesus' beatitudes also confront us with decisive choices concerning the life we pursue here on earth and the use we make of the goods he puts at our disposal.

Jesus' tells us that God alone can satisfy the deepest need and longing of our heart. Teresa of Avila's (1515-1582) prayer book contained a bookmark on which she wrote: Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you. All things pass - God never changes. Patience achieves all it strives for. Whoever has God lacks nothing -God alone suffices.

Is God enough for you? God offers us the greatest good possible - abundant life in Jesus Christ (John 10:10) and the promise of unending joy and happiness with God forever. Do you seek the highest good, the total good, which is above all else?

The beatitudes are a sign of contradiction to the world's way of happiness
The beatitudes which Jesus offers us are a sign of contradiction to the world's understanding of happiness and joy. How can one possibly find happiness in poverty, hunger, mourning, and persecution? Poverty of spirit finds ample room and joy in possessing God as the greatest treasure possible. Hunger of the spirit seeks nourishment and strength in God's word and Spirit. Sorrow and mourning over wasted life and sin leads to joyful freedom from the burden of guilt and spiritual oppression.

God reveals to the humble of heart the true source of abundant life and happiness. Jesus promises his disciples that the joys of heaven will more than compensate for the troubles and hardships they can expect in this world. Thomas Aquinas said: "No one can live without joy. That is why a person deprived of spiritual joy goes after carnal pleasures." Do you know the happiness of hungering and thirsting for God alone?

Lord Jesus, increase my hunger for you and show me the way that leads to everlasting peace and happiness. May I desire you above all else and find perfect joy in doing your will.

What is true religion and devotion to God? Jesus warns his disciples against the wrong kind of religion. In his denunciation of the scribes (the religious experts of his day), he warns against three things: the desire for prominence and first place of honor rather than lowly service for the benefit of others; the desire for deference and recognition (and seeking esteem from others) rather than seeking to promote the good of others through humble service and selfless care for others; and thirdly, attempting to use one's position (even a religious position) for self-gain and self-advancement. True religion is relating rightly to God and to one's neighbor with love, honor, and respect. The Lord puts his Holy Spirit within us that we may be filled with the joy of his presence, the joy of true worship, and the joy of selfless giving and love for others. True reverence for God frees the heart to give liberally, both to God and to neighbor.

Love is more precious than gold or silver
Jesus taught his disciples a dramatic lesson in generous giving with love and devotion. Love doesn't calculate - it spends lavishly! Jesus drove this point home to his disciples while sitting in the temple and observing people offering their tithes. Jesus praised a poor widow who gave the smallest of coins in contrast with the rich who gave greater sums. How can someone in poverty give more than someone who has ample means? Jesus' answer is very simple - love is more precious than gold!

Real giving comes from a heart full of gratitude
Jesus taught that real giving must come from the heart. A gift that is given with a grudge or for display loses most of its value. But a gift given out of love, with a spirit of generosity and sacrifice, is invaluable. The amount or size of the gift doesn't matter as much as the cost to the giver. The poor widow could have kept one of her coins, but instead she recklessly gave away all she had! Jesus praised someone who gave barely a penny - how insignificant a sum - because it was everything she had, her whole living. What we have to offer may look very small and not worth much, but if we put all we have at the Lord's disposal, no matter how insignificant it may seem, then God can do with it and with us what is beyond our reckoning. Do you know the joy and freedom of giving liberally to God and to neighbor with gratitude and love?

Lord Jesus, all that I have is yours. Take my life, my possessions, my time and all that I have and use them as you desire for your glory.

The first things that makes you fail in the place of prayer is having an order(list of what to pray about) you will pray for minutes & get tired. But when you login to your spiritual account & connect to the spirit hotspot & download through heavenly tongue's you will browse and lose track of time🤭🥰. You will pray petitions you didnt know was urgent for your life. There's no pattern what there is- is the will of thy father. Align!

*''For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, but lose his soul?" -Mark 8:36* In the book of Mark chapter 8 Jesus reminds us of the need to represent God in *All* we do. In our quest for Fame, money, love, fun & earthly pleasures among other's. Let's not get so carried away that we lose our soul for things that only give temporal satisfaction....... What shall it profit you if at the end of all this lifestyle & strive, you lose your soul? Today many will wish you this & that but those wishes will be like water poured on the rock if we fail to align with God. *Oh man where's thy First love?* How the mighty have fallen😥! Where's the intimacy between you & God? Jesus prayed ''that they maybe one just as I and the father are one'' are you still one with the Father? Will he congratulate your current way of life? Let's not abuse Grace...... Should we then dwell in sin that Grace will abound No! In this month of May retrace our step's & seek the face of God tomorrow maybe too late..... Today that you have heard his voice harden not your heart....... May the month of *May* Grant us divine encounter's that will save us from ourselves & will. That *Only thy Will oh God be done* be our daily cry

Happy New month Brethren

👇🏾👇🏾

1. Fornication is not a norm. Even if it has become so so common, it is a great sin to God and a disservice to your body.

●2.Exposing sensitive parts of your body as a lady or dressing recklessly is not a big girl thing. It is foolishness and a sin in the sight of God. Wearing of mad people clothes is not called fashion. It is called indecency and it grieves God.

●3. Virginity is not a sign of weakness or even s*xual malfunction. It is a sign of purity - something to be proud of that you have not been desecrated by the unworthy and filthy. No one should make them feel foolish because of being a virgin.

● 3. That VIRGINITY is a wedding present to your husband not a birthday present to boyfriends. Don't enter your matrimonial home perforated.

●4.That Virginity should not be just about the s*xual organs. The eyes, hands, legs and mind should be virgins too. If these parts get corrupted with immorality, soon the ge****ls will confirm the corruption. Sexual purity matters.

●5. Females are not mere objects of s*xual gratification. There is more to a woman than her breast and buttocks.

● 6.That the breast God give women is for breastfeeding and not to be used for Facebook likes and comments or to gain more fans.

●7.Not having a girlfriend does not make you less of a man. It makes you a man with a lot of control. It makes you a rare kind of a man in a world pervaded by immorality. It makes you a superman.

● 8. Not having a boyfriend doesn’t mean you will run mad or something terrible will happen to you. These are traps the devil has used to destroy the destinies of many young people. It is a lie from the pit of hell. No one runs mad because of not having s*x. Remain s*xually pure. Purity Is Possible!!

●9.Sex is not one sure way to prove depth of love. If he truly loves you, he will marry you. If he is a real man why does he want the s*x but not the responsibility of keeping you?

●10.Sex is not the solution to your Dysmenorrhea (Menstrual cramps), it is one of those deceits of boys who want to get into your pants! Be wise sweetheart.

● 11. S***m accumulation has no medical side effect. Your body is equipped to deal with that till you are ready to put them to good use. Don’t use that as a basis of going into fornication. Purity is Possible!!

●12. Ma********on is not a safe way to understand your s*xuality. You will only end up teaching yourself how to please yourself not how someone else should please you. You get addicted to it so much that no one can please you as good as you. It becomes a psychological problem, and it is a sin before God. Don’t get indulge into that. Self control is key.

●13.Lesbianism is not an option for girls only because men are not looking your direction. It is filthy and a disgusting sin before God. As senseless as animals are, they do not get to such level of mental depravity to be le****ns, why humans? 😭(Please talk to your girls especially about Lesbianism. It is becoming very common, starting as early as in primary schools.

14. Homos*xuality is not also an option for boys because they think marriage is costly. It is filthy and a disgusting sin before God. As senseless as animals are, they do not get to such level of mental depravity to be g**s, why humans? 😭(Please talk to your boys, especially about Homos*xuality. It is becoming very common, starting as early as in primary schools.

●Let’s not also forget to teach them that living for God is not a burden or a bo***ge. Let’s make them understand that God is interested in their youthful age not when they’re old, weak and feeble and the world had retired them that they’ll now come to God.

●Let’s teach them that living a holy live is possible. If others can do, they can also do even better. Let’s make them understand that living for God doesn’t mean you will be the poorest person on earth, and even if that happens, they should be willing to suffer for God.

Jesus Christ Loves You!!!
