GOD DIRECTS US ON WHAT TO DO
HE DIRECTS US ON WHAT TO DO Sunday June 28, 2015
Text: Isaiah 48:16 – 22 Memory verse: v 17
God wants us to whole heartedly obey Him and He will lead us to make profit and prosper in life. Unfortunately, the hardest things for us is that whole hearted obedience. From time to time, God had made known to us, all necessary doctrines; which, if observed by us, would have been infinitely profitable to us, both for this life and that to come.
It is not God’s fault that we didn’t benefit from all He had taught us. Rather it is our own fault that we have not profited from all that God taught us. In 45:18, God lamented their inability to heed His commandments which would have benefited them. God did all He could to make Israel good but they couldn’t obey His instructions.
Do we not make God to lament by our refusal to repent despite all the teachings and warnings we receive? What we have learnt would have taken us to another level of Christianity and prosperity but not so, rather, we chose to do things in our own way. The Israelis were very obstinate and stiff necked (Deuteronomy 31:27 & Jeremiah 17:23). Their stories in the Bible were to warn us. We should not after reading all these fail God as they did. Following God’s directions will make us prosper and make heaven at last.
Food for Thought: No external attention, even to things which God has commanded, can be accepted as a substitute for an obedient heart.
Prayer: Lord, grant me an obedient heart to follow your directives for my life in Jesus name.

Salvation is of God
SALVATION IS OF GOD Monday June 22, 2015
Text: Jonah 2:1 – 10 Memory verse: v 9
When you encounter God in a wrong way you will always have a sad story to tell (compare Matthew 21:44). The experience of Jonah when he tried to flee from God is what no other sensible person will want to pass through. For trying to flee from the call to go to Nineveh, God ordered a big fish to swallow Jonah (1:17). He prayed inside the belly of the fish acknowledging God’s power and supremacy over all His creatures and asked Him for deliverance and he will make sacrifice to Him.
Our deliverance from danger, preservation of life, recovery from sickness, and redemption of the soul from the power, guilt, and pollution of sin, is from God. He alone is the Saviour; He alone is the Deliverer; for all salvation is from the Lord. When we have proper understanding of this very fact, it will make us always to go to Him when the need arises.
Obviously, Jonah was not in a position to bargain with God again. Instead, he simply thanked God for preserving his life in the belly of the fish while asking for his deliverance. Our troubles should cause us to cling tightly to God, not attempt to bargain our way out of the pain. We can thank and praise God for what He has already done for us, and for His love and mercy and the ones He will still do. This will be a tonic to releasing the blessing of God upon our lives.
Food for Thought: “Salvation comes from God alone” – Latin Phrase
Prayer: My God and my Father, salvation belongs to you alone. Grant me that salvation of eternal life and deliverance over my problems and fears.

THE IMPENDING WRATH OF GOD
THE IMPENDING WRATH Saturday June 20, 2015
Text: Matthew 3:7 – 12 Memory verse: v 7
John was gladly baptizing many repentant people who came to him, confessing their sins and desiring to live for God. However, when he saw many Pharisees and Sadducees, he burst out in anger at the hypocrisy of these religious leaders. The Pharisees separated themselves from anything non-Jewish and carefully followed both the Old Testament laws and the oral traditions handed down through the centuries. The Sadducees on the other hand believed the Pentateuch alone (Genesis—Deuteronomy) to be God’s word.
John denounced and criticized the Pharisees for being legalistic and hypocritical, for following the letter of the law while ignoring its true intent. He had criticized the Sadducees for using religion to advance their political position. He obviously doubted the genuineness of their desire to be baptized, that was why he made the statement in 3:7. Brood of vipers (Jesus also used this term – 12:34; 23:33), conveys how dangerous and cunning they were.
Do you know that there is an impending wrath on sinners? How prepared are you to avoid it? Now is the time because tomorrow may be too late. Repent of your sins now and accept Jesus as your Saviour.
Food for Thought: Romans 5:9
Prayer: Almighty God, grant that I will not be caught up in the web of your wrath that will be revealed against the ungodly in Jesus name.

BE CONTENTED
BE CONTENTED Monday June 8, 2015
Text: Philippians 4:11 Memory verse: v 11
If we are trying to pass a message and people don’t understand us, our message will not yield the much anticipated result. This made Paul to make the statement in our text for clarity, so that the Philippians will not misunderstand the message he was trying to pass across. The fact that the Philippians had not sent help sooner did not mean that Paul had been disappointed in them or that he had been put in desperate straits at that time.
Instead, he had learned an important secret to the Christian life: that he could live happily with whatever he had, whether much or little. He explained that his sufficiency was in Christ alone, who provides strength to cope with all circumstances. Is this not a challenge for us in this present generation where anxiety and materialism have eaten most of us up?
How can we get to that lofty goal of contentment? It is important for believers to realize that biblical ‘contentment’ is not fatalism or submission to one’s lot in life. Contentment involves having right perspective about life; that everything belongs to God and what we have is a gift from Him. We should be thankful for what we have, not coveting what others have. Ask God for wisdom to use wisely what you have and also pray for grace to let go your desires for what you don’t have. This is a panacea for contentment.
Food for Thought: There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
Prayer: Almighty God, make me to be contented with what you have given me and remove in me every form of greed in Jesus name.

WALK IN THE SPIRIT
WALK IN THE SPIRIT Sunday June 7, 2015
Text: Galatians 5:13 – 23 Memory verse: v 16
If you have been living a spiritually defeated, powerless and fruitless Christian life; wondering if there is any effective result in living as a Christian, you should read Galatians 5:13 – 23. Walking in the Spirit entails giving your life totally to God, and letting Him live your life for you, directing every step you take and guiding every decision you make. When one totally surrenders to God and resolves to walk in His ways, He will grant the person the grace needed to live extra ordinary life.
The result of walking in the spirit is that you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. When we become believers, our sinful nature still exists. Would you like to know how to enjoy what Christians all over the world are experiencing? Then try walking in the spirit of God the Most High by knowing his will and applying them into your life. Thus God will be the one who directs your thoughts, actions and speech. When you walk in the spirit of God you will live a fearless life because your ways are the Lord’s.
Food for thought: It pays to walk with God because your life will be totally controlled by God.
Prayer: Oh my God, give me the grace to walk in and with you every moment of my life.
