June 1- How the tortoise broke his shell

“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith.” Mark 11v23

From the first part of this verse, we see the Bible, does not discriminate. It says whosoever, that is whosoever qualifies for whatever Jesus was to say. I remember the story of the tortoise who wanted to follow the birds for a feast that they had been invited to in the sky – but the tortoise had no wings and no way to get to the sky – and so, all the birds contributed feathers to make a wing for the tortoise. Now, before they went, the tortoise said his name was “everybody.”

When they got to the sky, tortoise included, and the food was ready, the host/hostess called out, everybody come and eat. The tortoise did not allow any other person to eat, claiming he was the “everybody” that was called – and the birds could not refute it, for his name indeed was everybody. Of course, they all took their feathers back, and in the tortoises’ attempt to get back to earth, he broke his shell and that is how the tortoise broke his shell (hehehehehehe) – big laugh.

Anyway, the long and short of it, is that for what Mark 11v23 promises, whosoever is eligible. Are you a whosoever?

Have a blessed day.
