Oaths.

                                                                                 Oaths.


Kingdom Citizens are Not to Make Oaths.


Again, you have heard that it was said to an older generation, “Do Not Break An Oath” but fulfill your vows to the Lord.  But I say to you, “Do Not Make Oaths At All”-not by heaven, because it is the throne of God, not by earth, because it is his footstool, and not by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.  Do not make an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.  Let your word be “Yes, yes, or No, no”.  More than this is from the evil one.  (Matthew 5:33-37)


Oaths are Not Needed for People who “Speak the Truth in Love”.


An Oath - Is a solemn appeal to God as a witness and guarantor of the truth of a statement or the binding nature of a promise.


Evil - Anything contrary to God’s character, will, or commands, encompassing both moral and wickedness (sin) and the resulting harm, suffering, or calamity.  Treating people in a way that you would not want people to treat you.


Our Daily Nugget

is saying to us that, in the past people used “Oaths” to confirm covenants, ensure legal testimony, or pledge loyalty.  Kingdom Citizens has a “New Nature” which guides us to be honest and speak the truth, always. An oath is needed for people who are not trustworthy.  If I feel I need to make an Oath to you, concerning what I just pledged to you, “it is highly likely, because I am a Liar and a Deceiver”; I don’t trust me and neither should you trust me.


Jesus never made an Oath; 

He said Yes and No, when He Meant Them.


The Bible says that anything we add to our “Yes, yes, or No, no” is evil.  How and Why is this so?  To answer that question, one must know what evil is; one must be wicked, before they can be evil.  It is wicked Thinking that thinks up Evil things to do.  Evil is the Action Arm of Wicked Thinking.  Anything we say, after say Yes or No, “Is Evil”.  Pray that God will lead you to understand this, “Its A Very Important Point To Get Totally” and to “Live It”.


The Pure In Heart/Mind, 

“Does Not Need An Oath” added to their Words; the Wicked and Evil does!

The Heart/Mind.

                                                                        The Heart/Mind. The Heart/Mind of Christ or the Heart/Mind of Satan?   Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be “likeminded”, “Having the Same Love”, “being of one accord, of one mind”.   “Let nothing be done” through “strife or vainglory”; but in “lowliness of mind (heart) let each esteem other better than themselves”.   Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.   “Let This Mind (Heart) Be In You”, “which was also in Christ Jesus”.   (Philippians 2:2-5) The Heart/Mind of Christ is “A Priceless Blessing”; Available to Us. Our Daily Nugget is Paul letting the Church at Philippi and us know that Kingdom Citizens should be “Of One Mind (Heart/Thinking)”.   Since we have One Lord, One ...

What?

                                                                                 What? “What we Think”, “Guides What we Do”. “Above All”, be Careful “What” You Think because your “Thoughts” control your life.   (Proverbs 4:23) We Can Think, “Anything” we want to Think. “What” We Think “Determines the Parameters of Our Life”.

Real Strength!

                                                                           Real Strength!   “Real Strength” is Humility - “Real Weakness” is Pride.. In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders.   All of you, clothe yourselves with “humility” toward one another, because   “God Opposes the proud” but Shows “Favor” to the Humble”.   “Humble yourselves”, therefore under God’s Mighty Hand, that He may lift you up in due time.   Cast all your anxiety on Hum “Because He Cares For You”. (1 Peter5:5&6) The Humbled Heart/Mind has God Fighting For Them;   “That’s Real Strength”, “That’s God’s Favor”! Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that “We All Need To Clothe Ourselves in Humility”, because; God opposes the Proud, and that God “Shows Favor to the ...
