Without my being blest.

BIBLE PASSAGE: MATTHEW 5:5-6

[5]Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

[6]Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

MEMORY VERSE: “The meek shall eat and be
satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek
him: your heart shall live for ever.” Psalms 22:26.

INTRODUCTION: The beatitudes describe the ideal disciple and his rewards, both present and future. Having discovered that the beatitudes are a series of eight blessings spoken by Jesus in Matthew 5, we shall do some exposition on verses 5 and 6 in this study.

LESSON OUTLINE:

1: BLESSED ARE THE MEEK
2: BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HUNGER AND THIRST

BLESSED ARE THE MEEK

‘Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth’ (Matthew 5:5). The word ‘meek, from the original Greek language ‘praus’ refers to mildness, gentleness of spirit or humility. It was used to describe ‘reining in a stallion’. It is the idea of a horse being controlled by a bit and bridle.

The horse is choosing to submit to authority. This is meekness. It is power under constraint.

“Meekness” is a humble attitude that expresses itself in the patient endurance of offences. Meekness is humility toward God and toward others.

In other words, it is having the right or the power to do something but refraining for the benefit of someone else (Eph. 4:1-2). It is power under control.

Meekness is not weakness. A weak person
cannot do anything but a meek person can
do something but chooses not to (Prov.16:32; 25:28).

Being too hasty in word and deed are possibly two of the most frequent weaknesses in people. A meek person would consider his
actions before he acts hastily (James 1:1
21: 3:13).

The cultivation of this spirit is enjoined (Col.3:12; 1 Tim. 6:11; Zeph. 2:3), and is exemplified in Christ (Matt.11:29), Abraham Gen.13:8-12: 16:5-6), Moses (Num.12:3), David (Zech. 12:8; 2 Sam. 16:10,12), and Paul (1 Cor. 9:19).

Peculiar promises are made to the meek.(Matt. 5:5 Isa 66:5). The humble would receive far greater than the arrogant and prideful.

Not only do the meek enjoy more of life on earth because of their ability to be content, but they will possess the earth after Jesus’ return and triumphant entry. The meek are blessed.

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HUNGER AND
THIRST

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after
righteousness: for they shall be filled’
(Matt.5:6). An ardent desire for anything is
often represented in the Scriptures by hunger
and thirst (Ps.42:1).

As the body has its natural appetites of hunger and thirst for the food and drink suited to its nourishment, so has the soul (Ps.63:1-2).

When the soul begins to hunger and thirst after righteousness or holiness, which is its proper food, we know that it must be purified by the Holy Spirit, and be made a partaker of that living bread (John 7:37-32), or perish everlastingly.

A desire for the blessings of pardon and peace; a deep sense of sin, and want, and wretchedness, is also represented by thirsting (Isa.55:1-2).

Those who hunger and thirst, after the full salvation of God, will be blessed, satisfied and well-fed. Those that are lost sinners and strongly desire to be holy shall be filled.

Christ has made provision to satisfy all who truly desire to be holy (John.4:14; John.6:35; Ps.17:15). Those that hunger and thirst after righteousness are blessed.

CONCLUSION: If you are meek, you will be satisfied with the blessings of God on earth and filled with heavenly blessings.

QUESTIONS
1. Who are the meek?
2. Who are the hungry and thirsty?

LESSON OUTLINES
LESSON OUTLINE 1: BLESSED ARE THE MEEK
‘Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth’ (Matthew 5:5).

• Question 1: What does it mean to be meek?
• Answer: The word ‘meek, from the original Greek language ‘praus’ refers to mildness, gentleness of spirit or humility. It was used to describe ‘reining in a stallion’. It is the idea of a horse being controlled by a bit and bridle. The horse is choosing to submit to authority.

Therefore meekness is:
i. A humble attitude that expresses itself in the patient endurance of offenses.
ii. Humility toward God and toward others.
ii. Having the right or the power to do something but refraining, for the benefit of someone else
iv. Power under control

• Question 2: Is meekness a sign of weakness?
• Answer: Meekness is not weakness. This is because
i. A weak person cannot do anything (or fight back) but a meek person, on the other hand, can do something (or fight back) but chooses not to (Prov.16:32; Prov. 25:28).
ii. Being too hasty in word and deed are possibly two of the most frequent weaknesses in people. Therefore, a meek person would consider his actions before he acts hastily (James 1:12, 21; James 3:13).

• Question 3: Are there biblical examples of meek people?
• Answer: The cultivation of this spirit is enjoined (Col. 3:12; 1Tim. 6:11; Zeph. 2:3) and is exemplified in Christ (Matt. 11:29), Abraham (Gen. 13:8-12; 16:5-6) Moses (Num. 12:3), David (Zech. 12:8; 2 Sam 16:10,12), and Paul (1 Cor. 9:19).

• Question 4: What are the peculiar promises made to the meek?
• Answer: The humble would receive far greater than the arrogant and prideful (Matt. 5:5).
ii. Not only do the meek enjoy more of life on earth because of their ability to be content, but they will possess the earth after Jesus’ return and triumphant entry.
iii. The meek are blessed

CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Class should discuss why meekness is getting unpopular among Christians these days.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: BLESSED ARE THOSE
WHO HUNGER AND THIRST

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled’ (Matt. 5:6).
• Question 1: What does it mean to hunger and thirst after righteousness?
• Answer: An ardent desire for anything is often represented in the Scriptures by hunger and thirst (Ps. 42:1).

ii. As the body has its natural appetites of hunger and thirst for the food and drink suited to its nourishment, so has the soul. Ps. 63:1-2

iii. When the soul begins to hunger and thirst after righteousness or holiness, which is its proper food, we know that it must be purified by the Holy Spirit, and be made a partaker of that living bread (John.7:37-39), or perish everlastingly.

iv. A desire for the blessings of pardon and peace, a deep sense of sin and want, and wretchedness is also represented by thirsting (Isaiah 55:1-2)

OPEN HEAVEN 16 OCTOBER 2021 MESSAGE

The Bible says in Romans 8:5: “they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.”

There is therefore the need to find and put on the new man according to today’s memory verse. This, however, can only be possible through our reliance on the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

To put on the new man, we must accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. When one submits to the lordship of Jesus Christ, the fellow must endeavour to grow in that new experience so that he or she would not fall away.

2 Peter 3:18 says: “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ…”

When a born-again person is not growing, the old man will resurface. We have many of such among brethren today troubling the Body of Christ because they are not growing in grace.

Are you one of those who believe that the Gospel of the Lord is outdated and no longer relevant to the 21st century Christian? Are you living your life without any concern for holiness? You need to repent so that the Adamic nature will give way to a godly lifestyle anchored on the fear of God.

This forms the foundation for growing in grace and living holy.

This is what Jesus meant when He said: “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” “Matthew 11:29”

Apostle Paul said further in Galatians 5:16-17: “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.”

Beloved, today’s memory verse is an express command from God. Let us put on the new man created in righteousness and true holiness, as the perfect image of the Almighty God.

OPEN HEAVEN 16 OCTOBER 2021 PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to grow in grace, to put on the image of Your only begotten Son, in the name of Jesus.

I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

1. I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.

REFRAIN:
I need Thee, Oh, I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee!
Oh, bless me now, my Saviour,

2. I need Thee every hour,
Stay Thou near by;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.

3. I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly, and abide
Or life is vain.

4. I need Thee every hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfil.

When I was a coach, I took my team to participate in an athletics competition of secondary schools. I had one of the best on my team a girl. This young girl was as fast as a cheetah.

It was time for the 100 metres race and she outran the other athletes. Just as she was about to reach the finish line, she fell and gradually crawled towards the finished line because she could no longer walk.

The person running in second place overtook her and came first, while the third became second. According to the memory verse and illustration above, the winner of a race is not necessarily the fastest.

The fact that somebody else went ahead of you does not mean the fellow will stay ahead. The truth is, walking diligently with the Lord guarantees your recovery and overtaking.

We have seen God change time and seasons to favour His faithful children. Don’t be discouraged that those you graduated with in high school are now in the university while you are still struggling to gain admission.

Rejoice with them because God is working your delay out for His good. However, ensure you play your role; study and stay with God. He will visit you this year.

MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE

1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away;
O let me from this day
Be wholly Thine.

2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me,
O may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire.

3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn today,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.

4. When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold, sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll, Blest Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul.

OPEN HEAVEN 15 OCTOBER 2021 MESSAGE

One major sign of a person who has become born-again is the newness of the life he or she lives. This change of spiritual living standards is always obvious.

When Zacchaeus the publican encountered Jesus Christ in Jericho, his life did not remain the same.

The notoriously corrupt tax collector said: “,.. Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.” “Luke 19:8”

These days, however, many people confess that they have become born again but still carry on with their sinful lifestyles as though nothing in them had changed. The thief is still stealing and yet he claims to be born again.

The adulterous woman who succeeded in snatching another woman’s legally wedded husband is still living comfortably with the man, yet speaking in tongues! When a person truly becomes born again the persons life must show that a transformation has occurred.

John the Baptist, when addressing those that came to be baptised by him encouraged them to bear the fruit of genuine repentance. Genuine repentance leads to a total turnaround from past sinful living.

The Bible says: “But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth, therefore, fruits meet for repentance:” “Matthew 3:7-8”

The religious leaders of John the Baptists time humbled themselves and came to him to be baptised for their spiritual growth. This is a lesson for those claiming to have risen through the ranks and files of established Churches and ministries: there is an ever-present need to seek spiritual growth.

This may also account for many of the older generation embracing the Pentecostal experience. Such people should however be sure to bring fruits to meet for repentance, forsaking their past sinful habits and lifestyles. A regenerated spirit is one that has undergone a change.

There may be a need to change friends, eating and dressing habits and so on, in order to conform to the image of the Son of the Living God. May the Lord make you a new creature indeed, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 15 OCTOBER 2021 MESSAGE

One of my sons had a stomach ache. When he went for a medical check-up, it was discovered that his intestines had been eaten up by cancer.

The only remedy was to cut off the intestines which would attract other health challenges such as diarrhoea and indigestion for the rest of his life.

In spite of this, he could only live for a few years. He came to the Holy Ghost service and the Lord said there was someone whose intestines had been condemned and He was replacing them with brand new ones.

The following morning, he used the restroom and realized that his stool was normal instead of watery as the doctor described.

Another medical test revealed that he was completely healed and restored. Hallelujah! Are you in need of healing? I join my faith with yours to declare that you are rising from that sickness today and your victory is permanent in Jesus name. Amen!

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

1. What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear-
All because we do not carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer!

2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a Friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
