While on earth, Jesus was an embodiment of zeal and passion for the things and glory of God His Father. At a time when religion had been used by men for the purpose of self - glorification and attainment of selfish goals, Jesus came with a fresh approach to religion.
The things of God should be handled with utmost zeal and passion, regardless of who or what is affected! On this occasion, He entered the temple at Jerusalem - a place dedicated to prayer and the worship of God but which had been turned into a place for all kinds of abomination practices - approved, practised and encouraged by the religion leaders themselves. His zeal was stirred, His anger was kindled, and He would not let these things slide.

There is no doubt that if Jesus were to pay a visit in person to many of our services and programmes in our Churches today, He will still take up His whip against many abominable practices we engage in, in the name of religion.
Do you consider the Church where God's people meet regularly to pray and worship, your Father's house? Do you still have your zeal intact? Do you wait to be begged, cajoled, intimidated or even manipulated before you visit your Father's house to pray and worship? If God is truly your Father, then zeal for His house should consume you.
Thank you so much for your support...🙏
