Be Not Anxious For Your Heavenly Father Knows That You Have Need Of These Things

Are you anxious about your financial state? Many believing Christians live as if they are orphans or that they have an irresponsible Father. Yet they are living purely out of ignorance or disobedience. If men know how to give good gifts to their children how much more God your Father! It's time to seek the Lord and find Him. This post emphasizes that you should not be anxious about anything as a child of the Almighty God.

Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble - Matthew 6:31-34 (NKJV).

Many Christians toil all day and night and start all over the next day only to still subject themselves to anxiety. Should they sit and ask themselves questions and seek answers in line with God's word, they will discover that they have only wasted their energy and time by worrying and in the process displeased their Heavenly Father (Hebrews 11:6). Now, this is not that you are not to work or think towards solving a challenge but that you should not be anxious about anything.

Your Father in heaven is a loving and responsible Father. He knows your needs and is more than capable to provide all your needs. If He gave His only son for you, how will He not with Christ freely give you all things (Romans 8:32)? All He asks of you is that you should believe in Him as your Father and seek first His kingdom (Matthew 6:33). Having anxiety shows that you don't trust Him to play His role as your Father.

Be Jesus Donkey And Walk On Blessings

Are you Christ’s donkey? The present Church of Christ is not seeing the measure of signs and wonders the early Church saw because we have much fewer donkeys of Christ than they had. This poses as a big limitation to the manifestation of God’s power in our time. This post encourages you to become a true Jesus donkey and then walk on blessings.

Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it. And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road - Mark 11:7-8 (NKJV)

Even so on your part, when you have done everything that was assigned and commanded you, say, We are unworthy servants [possessing no merit, for we have not gone beyond our obligation]; we have [merely] done what was our duty to do  - Luke 17:10 (AMPC).

Many Christian believers truly want to serve God but they are not fully ready to be His donkey. This may be due to ignorance, pride or greed depending on their level of understanding. What they seem not to understand is that being Christ’s donkey draws blessings to them, including material blessings.

A donkey is seen as a lowly animal compared to a horse. Jesus rode on it as a king into Jerusalem, however, it was the donkey that rode on the clothes and leafy branches spread on the road for Jesus. So, you being Christ’s donkey gives you the opportunity to get the blessings while He gets the praises. Unfortunately, this is not the case with the church presently.

Many people are serving God but Christ’s manifestations are limited in their ministry because they are either sharing the podium with Christ or are more interested in their bellies (Romans 16:18): what to have, eat and wear (Matthew 6:25-34), and so mix God’s will with theirs. Read more...
