‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:5‬ ‭CSB‬‬

““Blessed [inwardly peaceful, spiritually secure, worthy of respect] are the gentle [the kind-hearted, the sweet-spirited, the self-controlled], for they will inherit the earth.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:5‬ ‭AMP‬‬

.

““You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:5‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Meekness does not mean weakness @drtonyevans

.

Meek-learn and submit to the will of God, when you do you inherit what God has for you. 

.

Practicing self control

Breaking your self will

Disregarding your rights and privileges 

Its trusting God even when it doesn’t make sense 

 

Confident that God is looking out and will protect our cause .

““Blessed [forgiven, refreshed by God’s grace] are those who mourn [over their sins and repent], for they will be comforted [when the burden of sin is lifted].”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:4‬ ‭AMP‬‬

.

 

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:4‬ ‭CSB‬‬

 

.

Do you have personal grief over the sins you have committed?

.

Are you sad over the things that sadden God?

.

If it grieves God, should we be grieved? 

.

It’s about having an attitude of repentance.

.

We should be giving our nation right now. We need to be in repentance. 

.

The blessing of repentance is the comfort received from God. It’s freeing to repent. 

.

Those who mourn are comforted and provided something different. 

.

“to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor, and the day of our God’s vengeance; to comfort all who mourn, to provide for those who mourn in Zion; to give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, festive oil instead of mourning, and splendid clothes instead of despair. And they will be called righteous trees, planted by the Lord to glorify him.”

““God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

.

The Beatitudes are our code of ethics. Not Multiple choice.We must follow all. The first is poor. When you are poor, you are in need of something. You seek help. You are humble enough to ask God. 

.

Each one has blessings, requirements, and rewards.

.

Poor- God, I have nothing to offer you. I’m bankrupt.

.

Spiritual poverty-spiritual hunger dependent on God

.

Being desperate for Jesus gets you a blessing

.

Are you a spiritual beggar?

.

Are you begging for the worldly desires or begging for the spirit desire?

.

The World says be independent. You got this!

.

The Word says be dependent. God’s got this!

.

Kingdom mindset required to the Kingdom blessing.

.

Before you can get any of the other blessings of the kingdom you need a King.

What do we know about Esther

.

There was a search for a new queen after the old queen was revoked

.

Esther was fit and fine.

“Mordecai was the legal guardian of his cousin Hadassah (that is, Esther), because she had no father or mother. The young woman had a beautiful figure and was extremely good-looking. When her father and mother died, Mordecai had adopted her as his own daughter.”

‭‭Esther‬ ‭2:7‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

Esther found favor with the king.

“The king loved Esther more than all the other women. She won more favor and approval from him than did any of the other virgins. He placed the royal crown on her head and made her queen in place of Vashti.”

‭‭Esther‬ ‭2:17‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

Esther was faithful to her people.

She made sure Mordecai was out there looking crazy. 

Although her Jewish background had not been revealed she repped her people 

.

Mordecai reminded her that just because you are in that palace, don't forget where you came from. .

“Mordecai told the messenger to reply to Esther, “Don’t think that you will escape the fate of all the Jews because you are in the king’s palace.”

‭‭Esther‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭CSB‬‬

 

If you don’t, someone else will.

“If you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will come to the Jewish people from another place, but you and your father’s family will be destroyed. ‭‭Esther‬ ‭4:14‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

God’s plan doesn't stop because you don’t want to get in position.

.

God is looking for those who are willing to work for His Kingdom 

.

Although God’s name is not mentioned, Mordecai says who know, maybe this is the reason you are in this position in the first place.

.

Who knows, perhaps you have come to your royal position for such a time as this.””

 

Sis, Maybe God has you in your position for a reason for such a time as this ? Are you being faithful to the role He has placed you in?

She was willing to risk her own life for her people. Where do you need to take some risk for others? Where do you need to die to self ?

Mary was a witness to the birth and death of her Son, our Savior 

.

Mary was favored, the Lord is with her.

.

“And the angel came to her and said, “Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you.””

‭‭Luke‬ ‭1:28‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

Imagine being a young finance’ planning your wedding and boom this happens. This does not make you feel favored with the type of message. You are receiving. You have to tell your fiancée that how I’m pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Then only to have your son be murdered for all of humanity

.

What kind of message is this?

“But she was deeply troubled by this statement, wondering what kind of greeting this could be.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭1:29‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

 

The Ultimate Gender Reveal..

ITS A KING 

.

Mother of the King 

“Now listen: You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will have no end.””

‭‭Luke‬ ‭1:31-33‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

 

““I am the Lord’s servant,” said Mary. “May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel left her.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭1:38‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

Lessons from Mary

Trust the plans of GOD over your life. Mary was planning to get married and live her new life with her husband. And there was a miraculous change of plans. 

Gods’ favor doesn’t mean fame and riches. He could give your humble favor. 

Don’t doubt the sovereignty of God. If God can put a baby into a young woman by His Holy Spirit Power, HE CAN DO ANYTHING!

Be ready to serve the Lord wherever He is calling you.

Are you humble and willing?

Let’s talk about the Adulterous Woman 

 

The religious teachers and the Pharisees bring out the woman who had been caught in adultery.

They put her in the center. 

They requested to know what should be done from Jesus. They were trying to set him up because the law was meant to bring both parties and stone them. If Jesus would have agreed he would have been violating the law. 

Jesus answers:

“They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!””

‭‭John‬ ‭8:7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

They left the scene. 

THen Jesus and this woman have an encounter. 

“Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” ----------”

‭‭John‬ ‭8:10-11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

.

Who can stand up and stay that they have no sin? If so you are a liar. 

.

Jesus lets her know you are not condemned but don’t do it no more. 

.

Digest ?

⭐️How many times have you judged someone for their sins? How many times have you put someone in the center instead of focusing on your own sin?

.

⭐️How many times have you prayed in a justified spirit that somehow your sin was less than the other person?

.

⭐️Where do you need to forgive and have compassion on someone ?

.

⭐️Are you like this woman? If there something that you need to let go and sin no more?

.

Jesus is ready to forgive but confession and repentance is necessary turning away and sin no more.

What do we know about Mary Magdalene:

 

• She was healed by Jesus because she was demon possessed. 

 

“and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: Mary, called Magdalene (seven demons had come out of her);”‭‭Luke‬ ‭8:2‬ ‭CSB‬‬ 

 

• She supported the work of Christ 

 

“Afterward he was traveling from one town and village to another, preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him,”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭8:1‬ ‭CSB‬

 

• She was at the cross when Jesus was killed 

 

“Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and looked after him were there, watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27:55-56‬ ‭CSB‬‬

• She saw Jesus laid in the tomb 

 

“Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were seated there, facing the tomb.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27:61‬ ‭CSB‬‬

 

• She was the first to experience the resurrection 

 

“Early on the first day of the week, after he had risen, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons.”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭16:9‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

“Just then Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They came up, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him. Then Jesus told them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:9-10

.

So her faith had to be on fire. She witnessed both the death and resurrection of Christ. 

.

 

What we learn from Mary Magdalene:

 

We are to support the work of Christ. Women should have a role in ministry and sharing the gospel.

We can witness the gospel by spending time with Jesus. 

We can watch from the distance of our laps as we read His Word.

We can see that evidence of His resurrection in the Holy Spirit that he has left for us. 

We can wait patiently at the foot and worship as we wait to see Him on that glorious day.

Tamar Genesis 38

 

Two husbands died...took matter in her own hands by sleeping with her father in law to preserve family.

.

 

Two looks: outfit of the day

She took of her widow clothes for a moment to become like a prostitute

And then she put the back on went back to the widow look

.

“So she took off her widow’s clothes, veiled her face, covered herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that, though Shelah had grown up, she had not been given to him as a wife.”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭38:14‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

Two babies: Prez & Zerah

.

“Judah fathered Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez fathered Hezron, Hezron fathered Aram,”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1:3‬ ‭CSB‬‬

 

Two Truths from the story of Tamar:

God will turn things around from His good. Because of Tamar she had a son named Perez and Perez in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. 

When Tamar was plotting, she probably didn’t realize she was doing kingdom work.

God doesn’t accept sin or condone sinful situations but He uses them.

Tamar should not have took matter into her own hands, but she did, and God used her to be part of the covenant.

.

No matter what you have done, God will use you for his Kingdom. 

 

Digest ?

Where have you felt like God was taking too long to deliver and you took matter in to your own hands? How did it turn out? How  Did He use the situation to grow you? Is there a situation that you need to repent and release ?

“While they were traveling, he entered a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s feet and was listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks, and she came up and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to serve alone? So tell her to give me a hand.” The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has made the right choice, and it will not be taken away from her.””

‭‭Luke‬ ‭10:38-42‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

If Jesus was on the way to your house what would you be doing?

Mary was in position. She was ready to hear from Jesus. She was focused on Him. She was listening.

.

Martha was serving but distracted. She was multitasking. As women, we are the queens of multitasking 

.

Martha was actually doing a good thing by preparing for Jesus. We can be actually doing great things for Jesus and still be distracted from Jesus. 

.

He wants to serve, but he also wants you to sit.

Your serving shouldn’t take away from the personal time alone with Him. 

.

So Martha complains to Jesus about what she felt like was lack on her sister’s behalf. 

.

Jesus responds: You're worried and upset about many things.

To be anxious, troubled with cares. Upset-disturb (bothered) 

.

He tells her there is one thing to be concerned about and Mary chose that.

.

He was that one thing.

.

“My choice is you, GOD, first and only. And now I find I’m your choice! 

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭16:5-6‬ ‭MSG‬‬

“I have asked one thing from the Lord; it is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, gazing on the beauty of the Lord and seeking him in his temple.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27:4‬ ‭CSB‬‬

“When Jesus heard this, he told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell all you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.””

‭‭Luke‬ ‭18:22‬ ‭CSB‬‬

What can we learn from these two women :

• Be like Mary, sit at the feet of Jesus everyday and watch your Martha spirit start to diminish.
• When you are in the Martha spirit of doing even when its good, remember it rather have a personal relationship with you than you doing all the things.
• Be unbothered like Mary. Mary was focused and positioned. She was right where she wanted and needed to be. 
• Choose Jesus as your one thing. Make him first, desire to meet at his feet, gaze on his beauty and his word, seeking home daily. 
• Get rid of the things and people who is keeping you from the one thing. 

Digest?

Who do you identify most with Mary or Martha?

If you are in the Martha spirit of doing , how can you release that spirit and become more like Mary?

Are you bothered? Maybe because you are doing too much?

What need to let go to put Jesus in the position of 1?

““At last!” the man exclaimed. “This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man.’””

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:23‬ ‭NLT‬‬

.

Eve (1st women in the world, the mother of us all)

• Equal image bearer of God
• Helper to Adam
• Cheated on God’s blessings 

.

We are like her in so many ways. We cheat on God’s blessings for Satan’s messes. 

We focus on what we don’t have instead of what we do have. She was only missing fruit from one tree. 

She blamed others for her sin. 

.

She was created by God to be Adam’s helper. She was taken from his rib.God took his time with the woman. Adam was dirt with breath. We were taken out of flesh and bone. She was different. She was a part of him(Adam).

.

Adam gave life to Eve. But Eve gave life to the world. She is at the top of the world’s family tree. 

.

God knew that Adam couldn’t be alone.

The first Christian mingle. God brings her to Adam. (Verse 22)

. 

Just because she was called the helper doesn’t mean she was the “help”.Not a slave mentality or personal assistant.

.

A partner at the side. Ribs come from the side. She was not taken from the head or the foot. Not for her to control him or under his feet. 

.

We learn from Eve:

• Don’t cheat on God’s blessings for Satan’s messes.
• Focus on the garden you are in (ministry, motherhood, work)
• Follow the Kingdom lineup. Let the husband lead if he is leading biblically
• Be at his side, not over his head or under his feet. 
• Compliment your spouse’s gifts.

.

Digest ?

.

Where have you cheated on God’s blessings for some cheap fruit?

How have you lost focus in your garden?

If you are married, are you a good helper?

Have you found yourself being the head or under the feet of man?

.

Don’t cheat on God’s blessings for Satan’s messes.
