how to be wise as serpent
TRANSCRIPT
How can I be wise as serpent?
Jesus Christ says: ’’Behold I send you out as a sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpent and harmless as doves’’ (Matthew 10:16 NKJV
The wisdom of the serpent in the teaching of our Lord
Jesus Christ is referring to the natural attitude of the
snake which relies on camouflage (hiding) or fleeing
from predators as a first point line of defense
In case you go for evangelism in a gathering where you
were not given the audience to speak the power of truth
according to the word of God, do not embarrass or curse
them because you might not find such attitude funny.
Jesus want you to be wise as serpent by dusting your
feet, dip your hand into your pocket to grab your
ignition key (camouflage), and run away by obeying
the speed limit of the rough road to your house…
Another day will be a chance for the poor
Evangelist.
Jesus Christ had the same encounter when He was
denied the access to preach the power of truth in the
country of the Gadarenes, because the angry people
were not comfortable with the financial loss incurred by
the great herd of swine (about two thousand) that got
choked in the sea due to the deliverance of the mad man
Jesus performed an act of camouflage by asking
the man delivered from the demons to stay
behind in the town, and He ran away to the next
village to preach the power of truth
It was later discovered that the only Economist to
teach the Gadarenes how to be profitable in animal
husbandry is the Lord Jesus Christ
Whatever you intend to do in the midst of your
oppositions must be done without argument or
Uproar.
Be wise as serpent by avoiding hot argument.
Be patient for another opportunity to present your
wise advice and Gospel…
