We must chose in what kingdom we are to be considered great, the Kingdom of this world, or the Kingdom of God. And this is what our Lord says is the character of greatness in the kingdom of Heaven. And the Lord says that the greatest in the kingdom of heaven must become like these little children!Ĭhildren do not worry, they leave all the worries about life in the hands of their parents! They do not even understand what it is to worry about life. These things only come into bearing as they learn them. There is nothing deceitful about young children. They are totally trusting, non-suspicious, open and transparent. They do not gossip, slander, hold grudges, judge based on skin colour or gender. But our Lord Himself tells us that the greatest in His Kingdom will be those who are like little children.Īll the other stuff means absolutely nothing in the eyes of our Lord! You see beloved, little children think nothing of the prejudices that we are taught in our growing up. As people in this age, in this time, we have been taught to judge as great those who have a form of success, those who have great intellect, those who seemingly have wisdom in this world. Today these verses bring a truth regarding the character of the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Good morning in the wonderful name of Jesus! I trust this finds you blessed and in His presence.

He puts His word over His name( psalm 138:2), and He watches over His word to perform it.( Jeremiah 1:12) Do not qualify it, do not analyse it, just believe it and trust in it. Today I challenge you to believe God's Word. He promises us to not hold back any wisdom from us, that he will give us that wisdom with all generosity and no reproach. There are no hold backs, no secret things that He will not provide us, no answers that He gives only to a select few. Thirdly, if we are not walking in the wisdom we need for victory in any of life's circumstances, then we can ask and our Heavenly Father will give us the wisdom we need. EVERYTHING, nothing omitted, nothing left out! By knowing Jesus intimately, by coming into the true knowledge of Him, we receive all we need for every battle, to achieve every victory, every day! Secondly, He by His divine power has given us EVERYTHING pertaining to life and Godliness. That counsel completely and correctly can deal with all of our challenges! He has give us the very mind of Christ, we have access to the full counsel of God.
