But he answered and said, It is
not meet to take the children's
bread, and to cast it to dogs.
Matthew 15:26.
READ: Matthew 15:21-28.
21.Then Jesus went thence, and
departed into the coasts of Tyre
and Sidon.
22.And, behold, a woman of
Canaan came out of the same
coasts, and cried unto him,
saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord,
thou Son of David; my daughter is
grievously vexed with a devil.
23.But he answered her not a
word. And his disciples came and
besought him, saying, Send her
away; for she crieth after us.
24.But he answered and said, I
am not sent but unto the lost
sheep of the house of Israel.
25.Then came she and
worshipped him, saying, Lord,
help me.
26.But he answered and said, It is
not meet to take the children's
bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27.And she said, Truth, Lord: yet
the dogs eat of the crumbs which
fall from their masters' table.
28.Then Jesus answered and said
unto her, O woman, great is thy
faith: be it unto thee even as thou
wilt. And her daughter was made
whole from that very hour.

MESSAGE
In His discussion with the Syro-Phoenician
daughter was possessed by evil
spirits, Jesus expounded that
those who belong to the
kingdom of God are children of
the kingdom, while those outside
of the kingdom are viewed as
dogs. This truth is further
established in Revelation 22:15:
"For without are dogs, and
sorcerers and whoremongers,
and murderers, and idolaters, and
whosoever loveth and maketh a
lie."
Jesus also said that miracles are
meant for children of the
kingdom and not for dogs. This
should be food for thought for
anyone seeking a miracle. The
question is, "Are you a child or a
dog?" You are a candidate for
miracles of all sorts if you are a
child, but it is unfortunate if you
remain in the position of a dog.
What are the traits of those
considered as dogs in the
kingdom of God? The Psalmist
gives some insight into this in
Psalm 22:16:
"For dogs have compassed me:
the assembly of the wicked have
in closed me: they pierced my
hands and my feet."
This means that the wicked are
dogs. Paul , in Philippians 3:2 also
warned against evil workers
whom the described as dogs:
"Beware of dogs, beware of evil
workers, beware of the
concision."
In light of these, sinners who
refused to repent and come to
the side of God are dogs.
One the other hand, the forgiven
of the Lord are children (Psalm 32:1). Only the children of the
Miracle Worker can access His
miracles.The Bible in Isaiah 63:8
says:
"For the said, Surely they are my
people, children that will not lie:
so he was their Saviour."
Unless a person repents and
believe in the saving Name of
Jesus Christ, he remains a dog.
Are you a dog or a child? Get
ready for a big miracle this
season if you are truly one of the
children of God. If you are not, be
ready to give up your pride and
self-righteousn
adopted by the Holy One of Israel,
Jesus Christ the Lord, if you really
want a miracle urgently. Miracles
are food meant for children and
not for dogs. Repent today and
get that miracle you need so
urgently!
ACTION POINT:
Examine yourself to ascertain if
you are a genuine child of God.If
you are, cry to your father for that
miracle you urgently need.
