Meeked Stallion

By Pastor Dennis Williams

Matthew 5:5: BLESSED ARE THE MEEK FOR THEY SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH

WHAT IS MEEKNESS

  • It sounds like weakness.
  • But meekness is Power under control

MEEKNESS: MEANS NOT EASILY PROVOKED. SUFFERS INJURIES AND HURTS WITHOUT A DESIRE FOR REVENGE.

EXAMPLE OF MEEKNESS: BACK IN THE DAY, A WILD STALLION BROUGHT DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAINS, HAD TO BE BROKEN

THE HORSE HAD TO BE BROKEN OR “MEEKED” TO READY FOR A RIDER.

  • SOME WERE USED FOR PULLING WAGONS
  • SOME WERE USED IN RACES

BUT THE BEST HORSES WERE RETAINED FOR WARFARE

THESE HORSES COULD

  • RESPOND TO THE SLIGHTEST NUDGE OF THE RIDER
  • GALLOP AT 35 MILES AN HOUR AND STOP AT THE SLIGHTEST WORD
  • WERE NOT FRIGHTENED BY ARROWS, SPEARS, OR TORCHES

THESE MEEKED HORSES WERE POWER UNDER CONTROL

TO BE MEEKED WAS TO BE TAKEN FROM A STATE OF WILD REBELLION
• AND BROUGHT TO LOYALTY AND DEPENDENT UPON, ONE’S MASTER
JESUS HAS HAD TO GET A HOLD OF SOME OF US WILD STALLIONS
• HE Took us from wild rebellion
• And wants us to be completely loyal
• And dependent on Him
• Change us our attitudes
• So we can be used by Him

MEEKNESS IS ALSO CONNECTED TO RESTORATION

When something is restored: “restore” as to bring back to or put back something to a former or original state

MEEKNESS IS CONSIDERING OTHER ABOVE OURSELVES

  • So many sitting on pews across the world
  • Right in the Body of Christ
  • Need restoring
  • WE NEED MORE MEEKNESS IN THE PEWS
  • OF CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

Galatians 6:1: Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

JESUS restored us to God through His Meekness

  • should gently restore someone who is in sin
  • considering thyself
  • anyone one of us can fall into sin
  • says ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness;

MEEKNESS LETS GOD HANDLE THINGS/ TAKES ITS HANDS OFF OF THE SITUATION
Psalm 46:10. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
• Jesus can fix it, while we make things worse
Psalms 147:6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

MEEKNESS CAUSES US TO BE TEACHABLE AND OPEN TO CORRECTION
Ps 25: 9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way
Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

JESUS OUR PERFECT EXAMPLE OF MEEKNESS
Is 53:7: He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep, before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth


Give your heart to Jesus today by saying this prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sin. Please forgive me. Come into my life. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Please, help me to live for you the rest of this life. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus, I pray.
Amen.
