Cost Of DisobedienceDisobedience

- JEREMIAH 11:1-14

Key Verse:

“Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them” (Jeremiah 11:11).
Whoever wishes to enjoy the best God offers must be ready to trust and obey Him all the way. Our passage today reveals God’s heartfelt disappointment over Israelites’ broken covenant with Him. Towards this, He wanted Jeremiah to point out their acts of disobedience, whichhad strained His relationship with them, and that He would put a curse on anyone who did not keep to the covenant. God had a covenant with their forefathers when Heliberatedthemfrom the hardships imposed on them by the Egyptians. At that time, the Israelites had promised to listen, not only to God’s instructions, but also to completely obey Him. Consequently, they became His special people while He became their God. Unfortunately, the Israelites reneged on keeping to the covenant. They neither listened to, nor obeyed God. For the people of Judah and Jerusalem, God said He would bring suffering upon them and no one would escape, maintaining that when they begged for help, He would not listen to their prayers. He sternly warned Jeremiah not to plead for them because He would not listen, neither would He answer their prayer. Their sin was so great that God would not defer judgment even though Jeremiah or the people cried out to Him for mercy. The same appalling situation is playing itself out in our society. People no longer obey God. Evils of kidnappings, ritual killings, corruption and murder, among others, have dominated the land. What is your current relationship with God? You must realise that God will not bestow His blessings upon anyone who persists in wilful disobedience to His commandments, except those who decisively repent of sin and fully turn to Christ. Even so, a practical life ofholiness andrighteousness, through God’s grace, is the only way by which God’s goodness and blessings are assured in time and eternity.

Thought for the day: Absolute obedience to God is required to receive the best He freely gives

Beware Of Judgment Day

-ECCLESIASTES 11:7-12
Key Verse:

"Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment" (ECCLESIASTES 11:9).
Sitting on the pavement of the Kenneth looked like a shadow of his old self. Here was a young man who, a few years back, was full of life, living and behaving as if there would never be tomorrow. He was given to wine, women and wastefulness. He scorned preachers, calling them unprintable names. He scoffed at every warning and advice. He strongly believed that his life belonged to him and none had the right to tell him just how to live. He turned out an unmitigated disaster. Our text warns of the “days of darkness” in spite of the sweetness of light, with particular emphasis on youths. God has given us all things to enjoy while we live on this side of heaven. But our enjoyment and rejoicing must be moderated by the inescapable fact that God holds everyone accountable for what we do in the process. Some people live their life today as if it absolutely belongs to them. Many do not remember God. They engage in cult practices, and murder innocent children for ritual purposes. With their ill-gotten wealth, they choose to live in fornication, adultery and polygamy. “But know thou, that for all these things, God will bring thee into judgment” (verse 9). Today is the day to make an essential U-turn to escape the judgment of God with all its unpleasant and tragic consequences. It is dangerous to treat God’s word and standard with levity. It is even more damning to assume that God will forever wink at iniquities. Some day, and very soon too, God will call every man to account for his

Under Our Feet

-REVELATION 17:9-14

Key Verse:
“These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful” (Revelation 17:14).

T he rash of scary problems all over the world indicates the imminence of the end of this world and revelation of Jesus as King of kings and Lord of lords. The battle lines are drawn, and the greatest confrontation in the history of this world is about to begin. The Antichrist and false prophets have gathered armies to wage war against Christ and His saints. In their pride and self-will, they prepare to fight against their Creator. But they shall be destroyed beyond recovery. Although the Bible presents the world as estranged from God and seized by Satan, Christians must wage continual warfare against him and his cohorts. One of Christ’s purposes for coming to the world was to bind Satan and set at liberty those enslaved by him. Christians have dominion over evil powers because Christ has given us power and authority to cast out devils. He says, “In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (Mark 16:17,18). We can experience all-round victory through faith in Christ who died for us on the Cross. As Christians, we should be confident that Christ won the final victory for us and He is in control of everything. He declared: “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth”. He has triumphed over sin, Satan, affliction, oppression, sickness and poverty. As you believe today, victory is sure and you shall continue to live a victorious Christian life by abiding continually in the Lord and His word.

Solace In God’s Promises

-PSALM 77:1-9
Key Verse:
“I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me” (Psalm 77:1).

Arthur Tappan Pierson, an American Presbyterian pastor, who was a consulting editor for the original ‘Scofield Reference Bible’ in 1909, said: “God has no greater controversy with His people today than this, that with boundless promises to believing prayer, there are so few who actually give themselves unto intercession.” The psalmist presented a pathetic situation, which was like a sore or wound that bled throughout the night and would not stop. Based on the condition he found himself, he could not sleep nor could he think of those things that could comfort him. Rather, he put those things far away from him and engaged himself in sorrow. The remembrance of God could not comfort him. Instead, it troubled him the more. He tried to compare the days of old with the current. Yet, he could not fathom any improvement; things seemed to get worse. He made diligent search into the causes of his trouble, enquiring whether he had offended God and had gotten the consequences. With a troubled heart, he asked if God would cast him away forever and would no longer have mercy on him. There are believers who might find themselves in such a trying condition. They may groan under sore troubles and be tempted to think that God has hidden His face from them or withdrawn His usual favour. They should not give way to such suggestions because the Lord will not cast off His people (Psalm 94:14). God will always have compassion (Lamentation 3:32) because His mercy endures for ever(Psalm 103:17).
Thought for the day: The permanence of God’s character guarantees the fulfilment of His promises.

Unity Of Purpose

-1 CHRONICLES 12:23-40

Key Verse:
“All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king” (1 Chronicles 12:38).

The story is told of a man who, on his dying bed, desired to teach his three sons a lesson in unity and cooperation. He asked for a bunch of broom which he asked them to break one after the other. This, of course, they could not do; he then told them to untie the broom and attempt to break them stick after stick. This they did very effortlessly and the lesson was not lost upon his sons, who vowed to their father that they would always stick together. David’s route to the kingship of all Israel had been one fraught with many challenges. He ran from Saul’s fury, hiding in caves, mountains and forests. But God’s time for him to be crowned came at last. Being a man of war, he had a well organized army with an astonishing number of brave and fearless soldiers. Everything was provided for a successful coronation - food, meal, wine and music. These men of war gathered at Hebron (verse 40) for the singular purpose of installing David king. They all came, including the “children of Issachar which were men that had understanding of the times” (verse 32). These men that could keep rank, came with “a perfect heart” (verse 38). God is honoured when we unite in love and perfect commitment for a good and noble cause. David was anointed king at 16 but did not become the ruler of both Israel and Judah until about twenty years after. No matter how long it seems, God’s pronouncement and promises must come to pass. God is worth waiting for and His promises are ever sure. Those who wait on Him without wavering shall never be disappointed. God will use every circumstance to fulfil His will for every life.
Thought for the day: God is honoured when we unite for a noble cause.

Needed Works Of Faith

-JAMES 2:10-26

Key Verse:
“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone” (James 2:17).

An unsparing holiness preacher concerning whom little is known of his domestic life lived down town in a Council flat. He told his staff and congregation never to visit him at home without an appointment. An usher living close by frequently flouted this rule preferring to come to the pastor’s house to submit reports without prior notice. The pastor, desiring to know the reason, asked the young man: “Did you realize you are disobedient by coming to my house without me inviting you?” The usher answered: “I am sorry, but I did it that I might, by some chance, come to discover how you react to the provocations of belligerent neighbours, the disturbing noises of infant wards and the mischief of domestic staff in your home. This I hoped, would help me beyond lessons from your sermons.” Our profession may be great, but our conduct and attitude both in good and bad times are the real proofs of our hearts and the evidence of our faith. In our text, the writer places high premium on faith evidenced by works. The faith that shows no corresponding positive traits is dead, and to say the least, worthless. True faith in the Lord Jesus Christ works out positive changes in the believer. If these desirable changes are not in our lives, it is doubtful whether we have been united with Christ. Works of faith are the fruits of our Christian life made possible because of our living union with Christ. Those who are destitute of them have never known the Saviour including others who made only superficial commitment to follow Him. We cannot produce these fruits by our own efforts outside of Christ. Even though we try to do what is good and right, staying close to Jesus and being obedient to His word is the only way to live a fruitful Christian life. We must determine to quit superficial Christianity and show evidence of our walk with God by bearing fruits of the Spirit.

He Wants You Holy

-LEVITICUS 11:41-47

There are those who are unnerved about what they refer to as the legalistic nature of the Christian life. They feel they cannot bear with a system that seems to curtail their liberty and restrict their lifestyle. They want to be free to do whatever they like whenever they feel. What these people fail to know is that a life of unrestrained liberty is in itself the greatest form of bondage! In today’s text, God commanded the children of Israel to avoid eating certain creatures in order to keep themselves clean. Several other passages in the Scriptures highlight His distaste for uncleanness because He wants His people to be holy, set apart and unique just as He is holy. The Lord does not want true Christians to mix up with their pagan neighbors, get involved in their idol worship or compromise with them in sin. God called Israel out of idolatrous Egypt and set them apart as a unique nation, dedicated to worshiping Him alone. The Law He gave them was to help them remain separated socially and spiritually. This is the same calling we have as Christians today. We are to remain spiritually isolated from the wickedness and corruptions of this world. Since He has redeemed us to Himself, He wants us to be wholly dedicated and holy to Him. This should not be difficult as some people think. God does not expect us to accomplish this by our own power; hence, He made provision for us through the death of His holy Son, Jesus. As we accept the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour and willingly set ourselves apart from the pollutions of this world, we will receive grace and power to live a radiant, holy and victorious life.
Thought for the day: You can’t belong to God and be unlike God. He is holy, so must you.

It’s All By Faith

-HEBREWS 11:4-6

What would make a 75 year-old man leave a settled life and folks to begin life all over in a strange land? What would move three Hebrew youths to defy a godless monarch who demanded that they abandon the worship of Jehovah God for idolatry? What would make two puny and unlearned fishermen confront a powerful Jewish Council that wanted them to stop the spread of the gospel? It is faith in a God who cannot fail; a God who promised to be with His people through floods of water and flames of fire (Isaiah 43:2). Our Lord promised His disciples saying, “I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” (Matthew 28:20). Repeatedly, we see a demonstration of the power of faith by those who truly believe in God. The apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ understood the indispensability of faith in their relationship with Him; so, they made a passionate plea for increment of their faith (Luke 17:5). Truly, “without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” (Hebrews 11:6). Faith is everything to the believer. Our journey to heaven begins with faith in Christ as Saviour and Lord; we are sustained through this journey by the power of faith. Also, whatever we want from our Father in heaven is received through it. Faith in a God who provides for the needy, heals the sick, takes care of widows and orphans, protects the weak from oppressors, makes the barren a mother, gives job to the jobless, will ensure that we lack nothing in life. In summary, those who know their God through faith will always be strong and do great exploits.
Thought for the day: Faith is the key that unlocks the door of blessings.

Cancer Of Envy

-NUMBERS 12:1-8

T he godly Scottish preacher, Andrew Bonar, penned in his diary: �This day 20 years ago, I preached for the first time as an ordained minister. It is amazing that the Lord has spared me and used me at all. I have no reason to wonder that He used others far more than He does me. Yet, envy is my hurt, and today I have been seeking grace to rejoice exceedingly over the usefulness of others, even where it cast me into the shade. Lord, take away this envy from me!� From our text, Miriam became the chief sponsor of this ungodly act of envy which brought about murmuring that eventually landed her and Aaron in trouble. She became leprous and was quarantined out of Israels camp for some time. Moses was the youngest of a family of three children. Aaron was three years older than Moses while Miriam was their eldest sister. When infant Moses was placed in a basket at the bank of River Nile, Miriam watched over him to forestall any evil befalling the baby. But now, she failed to know that God had made this same Moses a leader and prophet in Israel, with the attendant honour and respect. She did not recognise that divine leadership is not based on age or familial relationship. Though Miriam and Aaron survived the rebellion, it was not without divine punishment. We should be careful what we do, say or think about others; especially, those who may be younger to us, who have leadership positions placed on them over us. Most criticisms and complaints today are acts rooted in envy and jealousy. Envying others will only earn us the displeasure and judgment of God.

Thought for the day: Leaders must be respected not castigated.

The Blessedness Of Re-union

-EXODUS 18:1-12"Key Verse:*“And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her” (Exodus 18:6).*"
God made man to live for Him. In fulfilling that purpose, He made necessary provisions and also instituted marriage to meet his need of companionship. He declared that it is not good for man to be alone. Moses’ wife, Zipporah with her two sons, had been away from home for sometime. But Jethro felt it was not ideal to keep her for too long, whatever the reason. He decided that there must be reunion between Zipporah and her husband. He took her back to Moses who had been busy with the commission of leading the children of Israel to the Promised Land. Those who, for reasons of job transfer, overseas travel, missionary assignment, etc. live separately from their spouses need to be reminded that it is not God’s perfect will for them to live apart. Even when there are problems in the home that caused one of the partners to separate, efforts should be made to reconcile them to be able to fulfill the purpose of God for their lives. Blessings meant for couples cannot be obtained individually as each live apart from the other. Parents and counsellors who are fuelling crisis in troubled homes should desist from such unscriptural act. What the word of God says is that what God has joined together, let not man or woman, parent or friend, service for God or job transfer or overseas travel, put asunder. Living apart from one’s spouse and indeed from one’s family is not the ideal arrangement. Whatever necessitated such separation must be rectified as soon as possible so that we can live and grow together as a family. By so doing, we shall fulfil the purpose of God for our lives and for humanity.*Thought for the day: *It is more blessed to dwell together in love and unity

Ungodly Influence-ACTS 8:9-25"

Key Verse:*“And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries” (Acts 8:11).*"
There is a disturbing trend that a significant proportion of youths from decent, godly homes are getting involved in activities considered to be inappropriate, immoral and even illegal. One young man explained the influence of peer pressure on him thus: “I never wanted to smoke until I was offered one in a party which I could not reject or resist”. Many youths face severe pressure to act in certain ways, dress in a particular style, smoke or drink and join certain groups because of ungodly influence. Except something positive is done to arrest the ugly trend, many youths may lose their godly heritage to the enemy. Samaria had been under siege by the ungodly influence of Simon the sorcerer who had bewitched them before the arrival of Philip, the evangelist. Simon also claimed to have believed under the preaching of Philip. But when Apostles Peter and John came from Jerusalem to Samaria and prayed for believers to be filled with the Holy Spirit, Simon also asked for the power. But Peter rebuked him saying, “Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God” (Acts 8:20,21). Parents, Christian leaders and teachers must be very vigilant in guiding against ungodly influences in their homes, churches and places of work. The Scripture enjoins us not to believe every spirit, but to prove whether it is of God or not. Christians must not be gullible to believe every new and strange doctrine. Many people perform miracles, wonders, healings and magical arts. We should not be carried away by ungodly and satanic manifestations, but guide and protect our youths against so-called gospel trends which merely appeal to base sentiments.*

Shining Where It Matters Most-

DANIEL 12:1-4"Key Verse:*“And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever” (Daniel 12:3).*"
A most glorious time in the life of an athlete is when he finds himself on the medals’ podium – as a winner. A flood of emotion sweeps through his mind at that moment and can be so strong to produce tears of joy. Those tears are especially common in situations where the winner least expected to win. Such will be the experience of many believers when we get to heaven where Christ shall reward His faithful disciples. Today’s text primarily predicts the deliverance and comfort the Jews would enjoy after the death of Antiochus, their great tormentor and adversary. But beyond that, it points to the experience of Christian believers at the end of time. In view of the great tribulation that will engulf the world, Christ will come for His own in an event commonly known as the rapture. Immediately after the rapture of true believers comes a time of reward. Believers are going to be ‘judged’ (not to condemnation) according to their works and labour for the Master. Verse 3 of today’s text captures the lot of believers who exercised prudence in spiritual matters while on earth – “they that turn many to righteousness.” They will shine as stars all through eternity. Most people today, including believers, struggle to gain prominence in social and economic spheres. They expend much time, affection and resources to “shine” in this passing world. But the truly wise Christian will invest more time and labour in Kingdom work – helping to turn many to righteousness. Such may not shine here but they will shine where and when it matters most – in the Kingdom to come.
