Time to Overthrow

Daily Scripture Threshing for Wednesday, April 14, 2021


Today’s Text: Mark 11:12-26

Key Verse: Mark 11:15 (HCSB) — “And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold dove.”

There is a popular among my people: “the drumbeats of wisdom are proverbially beaten.” In this one passage before us, Jesus has several lessons to teach His disciples, and all of us. With the fig-tree, He teaches the imminent doom of failing to bear the fruits God expects. And with His visitation to the temple; on the one hand, He figures the anger of God against pretended religiosity; while on the other hand, teaches us that we should focus our faith on Him alone as our true high Priest, rather than upon priests who for selfish gains fail to show proper reverence for the holy function of God’s work and house.

We gather at God’s table each day and our attention has mostly been on the wrong things. We try to cast out devils and all the sorrows he brings while the table is soiled with unholy trades of fleshly worship, selfish gains and bigotry. Before we can enjoy the full blessing of Christ’s visitation, we must purge ourselves or our temples of the gross guilty of profanation. We must overturn and overthrow the corrupt table. We must first cast out all buying and selling demons that turns the gospel into money changing ventures. Jesus overthrew the tables, it is high time we over throw the table. It is time we give up resistance against the reformation of Christ, and let Him overthrow everything inconsistent with true worship.


Quote for the Day: “Any church or person that fails to allow Christ’s authority to overthrow its or his money changing tables also fails to experience His power to overthrow powers and principalities.” (Simon Olatunji)


Prayer: O Lord, purge us all of any spiritual hangover and overthrow every seat of ungodliness in us, in Jesus name. Amen.


With all my love and prayer,
