Memory Verses With Explanation





‭John 13:26-27 NIV‬
[26] Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. [27] As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.” 

Part two: The Enemies Bait

During the last supper Christ predicts his own death and who would betray him, this is as a result of what happened in the chapter before John 12. 
Jesus having great discernment by reason of the Holy Spirit living within him, who quickens his mortal body and tells him things to come was able to spot his betrayer quickly. 
He dips the bread into a cup and hands to all his disciples not just one, Matt 26 affirms this. But be careful when you dine with a noble man if your hands are dirty as judgement is passed upon you immediately. All ate the bread but the serpent got into Judas why? He had an opening for the devil to operate in(anger from the previous outing) 
Then Jesus says to him on sensing the presence of the evil one, what you must do do it quickly. 
Judas proceeds to fulfil the mission for which he was made a disciple by the Father(betraying the son of man) in order for what was written about him by the prophet Jeremiah to be fulfilled. 

Judas' reason for being angry was not a taboo but habouring offence in his heart made him a tool for the enemy to enact his wicked acts. Unforgiveness is deadlier than we think it is family, the fruits of it is something we are never fully ready for. 
Unforgiveness can move you into betraying your own without realising it. 
Judas didn't realise he was a pun in the devil's scheme and his anger a bait to lure him in until he was done betraying Jesus then the spirit left him and he realised his mistake.

Judas' reason for betraying Jesus was so that he could make more money to compensate for Mary's ostentatiousness and also that he can help himself to some as he was a thief as well let's not forget. He didn't do it because he was a bad person or because he hated Jesus, he believed in Jesus too, way more than most of us do today. He saw the miracles Christ performed, they were more like brothers you know? They had personal conversations too but life happened. 

There was a bounty placed for whoever it is that would betray Jesus and Judas' greed/anger played him right into it without knowing that a curse also awaits whosoever betrays Jesus from the Father.
Judas expected Christ to save himself as he thought he would when delivered to the Pharisees. He didn't know dying was Jesus' ultimate plan here on earth. 

Even good people can become tools for the enemy tomorrow because of greed, offense, impatience excetra.. We should be kind towards our offenders and betrayers instead of judging them. Albeit some people are naturally evil, but some are not. 

The moment Judas realized his wrongs he tried to fix it but by then it was already too late. The deed had been done and the people the enemy used threw Judas out the moment he came to them to complain about the mistakes they were all making. 

See the enemy has no use for you the moment he is done with you. He sucks you dry and kicks you out in the cold the minute you run out of juice leaving you struggling and stranded. He is void of compassion, he lacks the ability to cover your weaknesses instead he capitalises on them. Only God is strong in your weakness the enemy makes you weaker to the point of death. His goal is to KILL STEAL and DESTROY!! 
Let's not give him a chance. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 
Remember we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers in high places? 

That person you're about to or have betrayed, the one who you knew was innocent yet your mind was/is perverse towards them, i want you to know the enemy is only trying to destroy you should you go on with it and if you have it's not too late to go and seek forgiveness. You may think you're being smart but in reality you're being outsmarted by the kingdom of darkness.

I pray you extend a heart of mercy towards anyone who has offended you and commit them into God's hands. The Bible says vengeance is mine saith the Lord! Set them free so you can be free too. Let God repay them in their own coin.
Remember forgiveness does not mean reuniting with them, still maintain distance but forgive them just as Christ forgave you.
The End!!
Shalom Shalom.

Memory Verse With Explanation

Matthew 9:16-17 NIV‬ [16]  “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. [17] Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”  In this japa(migration) era a lot of content creators have made fortunes off creating migration contents as most Nigerians are either relocating or planning to relocate. If we're being honest out of every 10 friends or family we've heard at least 8 of them speaking enthusiastically about migrating so this isn't news to any of us now is it? But one thing that caught my eye in recent times about this Japa virtual content is the number of views they get per post. I.e "How i relocated to Canada = 200k views in 6days from an account with less than 1k subscribers Ahhhh!! What can they po...

Memory Verse With Explanation

Matthew 6:25-26 NIV‬ [25]  “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? [26] Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?  Since i was born and now i am getting old never have i seen or heard that rats lost weight as a result of food inflation. I have never heard that wall geckos ever ran out of supplies to the point of carrying placards to protest before God. I haven't also seen where wild animals in the jungle like lions and crocodiles ate weeds. They always had their supplies undisrupted.  Animals who were created less than us have since creation been provided for how much more you and i who were made in God's image and likeness? Impatience is not what we suffer from as humans but trust issues is. We fear what...

So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”  PART ONE: THE BETRAYER If you live long enough you'll experience the worse kind betrayal that comes from people who are members of your inner circle. One thing about betrayals is that it always comes from people you break bread with. There's a Nigerian proverb that says "Na rat wey dey inside dey tell rat wey dey outside say food dey"(the snitch is always from someone within) I wish it was an outsider, we won't feel as much pain as we do when it comes from someone trusted. I have had people who i broke my back showing up for turnaround to stab me in the worst possible way ever. I wept for months unending, didn't get clo...
