« But Jesus answered the woman and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs” »
21 Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
23 But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”
24 But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
26 But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”
27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed.
« Outside the city are the dogs—the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie »
Miracles are the meat for the children of God and not for dogs.
According to the Scripture above, sinners are dogs.
Now, the question is, “are you a child or a dog?”
It is unfortunate that many people remain in the position of a dog when they can have so much more as children.
One woman had kept another woman’s husband in an illicit marriage. Unfortunately for her, she still did not have any child. She had been going to different Church programs until one of my children-in-the-Lord told her to stop wasting her time because God would not answer the prayer of a sinner. He advised her to return the man she “stole” to his wife and then trust God for her own husband. That marked the beginning of a new life for her as a child of God.
Who is a dog from the point of view of the Bible?
From Psalm 22:16, we can see what the wicked are dogs are, Isaiah 56:10-11 describes dogs as greedy.
Paul the Apostle in Philippians 3:2, also likened evil workers to dogs.
In light of these, we can say that sinners who refuse to repent can also be likened to dogs.
On the other hand, those who are forgiven of the Lord are His children, according to Psalm 32:1.
They are therefore the only ones who can access miracles.
Psalm 23:1-23 gives insight into what qualifies a person for miracles: you must first be a sheep of the Good Shepherd.
Unless sinner repents and believes in the saving name of Jesus, he or she will remain a dog.
« But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God »
Get ready for a big miracle this season if you are truly one of God’s children.
If you are not, give up your pride, give up your self-righteousness and repent so you can be adopted by Jesus.
Miracles are meant for children and not dogs.
Submit to the Lord today and you too would have great testimonies.
Prayer focus – Father, I need a miracle urgently. Adopt me into Your family today through Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior
