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

Luke 7:37-38 NIV‬ [37] A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. [38] As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them. If you're an ardent bible study attendee then this scripture would be very familiar to you. So familiar a scripture that even unbelievers know it. It's the story of the woman with the alabaster box. A woman who poured out more than a year's wages on the feet of Christ as a form of reverence to him, not only that, washed his feet with her tears and wiped them clean with her hair. One thing about this popular scripture is that the woman in question was a renowned prostitute,one who at her time was considered unworthy to be in the presence of noble men let alone the presence of the King of Kings. This story has been acted on stag...

Memory Verse With Explanation

Galatians 4:1-2 NIV‬ [1] What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. [2] The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.  I remembered having a conversation with my dad one time during my childhood days that made everybody seated there burst into laughter.  I asked if i could get money to buy "pampers"(Sanitary Pad) seeing as my elder sisters were using one LOL!! Yeah feel free to laugh at my childishness as everyone who heard the story after that day laughed at me and called me miss pampers.  I wanted to do grown up stuff when i wasn't even at that stage yet. I hadn't started menstruating but i wanted money to buy pad that i wasn't ready for, I thought it was the coolest thing to do as girls i didn't realise i would first have to spot miss red flag before getting my own pampers. Today's scripture is no different from my childhood ta...

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...
