Word 1
JESUS, THE MESSIAH & ETERNAL KING Mathew 9:14-17
• Matt 9:14 John's disciples fasted (went without food) as a sign of mourning for sin and preparation for the Messiah's coming. Jesus' disciples did not need to fast because he is the Messiah and was with them! Jesus did not condemn fasting—he himself fasted (Mat_4:2). He emphasized that fasting must be done for the right reasons. John the Baptist's message was harsh, and it focused on law. When people look at God's law and compare themselves to it, they realize how far they fall short and how badly they need to repent. Jesus' message focused on life, the result of turning from sin and turning to him. John's disciples had the right start, but they needed to take the next step and trust in Jesus. Where is your focus—on law or on Christ?

Word 2
JESUS, THE MESSIAH & ETERNAL KING Mathew 9:14-17
• Matt. 9:15 The arrival of the Kingdom of Heaven was like a wedding feast with Jesus as the groom. His disciples, therefore, were filled with joy. It would not be right to mourn or fast when the groom was present. Real fasting takes place when there is real occasion for it. Would you agree with me that with the situations going on around us now, it is time to fast?

Word 3
JESUS, THE MESSIAH & ETERNAL KING Mathew 9:14-17
• Matt. 9:16-17 You don't put a new denim patch on old Levi's®, because when you wash them, it won't hold. The cloth will shrink, the stitching will rip, and the hole you were trying to patch will become even bigger. There are many people today who are still involved in the process of carefully pouring the new wine in the old skins, always trying to pour it in such a way that we don’t split and burst them. What God expects of us is not the reformation of the old man, but a total transformation into the new man in Jesus Christ. May you receive grace in Jesus' name!

Personal Supplication
Father in the name of Jesus, let the refiner's fire purge the old man and put a new fire in me, and make me a new man in the image of Jesus Christ.
Eph. 4:22-24
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Daily Protection Covenant Declaration
Because I dwell in the secret place of the most High, I shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver me from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover me with his feathers, and under his wings shall I trust: his truth shall be my shield and buckler.
I shall not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at my side, and ten thousand at my right hand; but it shall not come nigh me.
Only with my eyes shall I behold and see the wicked rewarded.

Because I have made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, my habitation;
There shall no evil befall me neither shall any plague come nigh my dwelling.
For God shall give his angels charge over me, to keep me in all my ways.
They shall bear me up in their hands, lest I dash my foot against a stone.
I shall tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt I trample under feet.
Because I have set my love upon God, therefore will He deliver me: He will set me on high, because I have known His name.
I shall call upon Him, and He will answer me: He will be with me in trouble; He will deliver me, and honour me.

JESUS IS LORD!
