Unacceptable Sacrifice

-JEREMIAH 11:15-23
Key Verse:

"For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal" (Jeremiah 11:17).
Elisabeth Elliot, a Christian author, told a story of her brother, Thomas Howard, when they were young. Their mother let him play with paper bags if only he would put them away afterwards. One day, their mother walked into the kitchen and found paper bags strewn all over the floor, but Thomas was with their father at the piano, singing hymns. When she confronted him, he protested, “But Mom, I want to sing”. But their father rebuked, “It’s no good singing God’s praise if you’re disobedient”. The people of Judah had yokes of sin hanging on their necks. Instead of repenting of those sins, they went to offer sacrifice to God, as if they could appease Him and get their misconduct quashed. Though they were God’s chosen people, He told them that they were not qualified to offer sacrifice because they have not repented of their iniquities. Their sacrifices would not make things right before Him, so they must face His wrath. Although God planted them as a tree, He would destroy them for worshipping Baal. Instead of making efforts to reconcile with God, the people of Judah plotted to eliminate Prophet Jeremiah who brought the message to them. Even after he was warned, the prophet did not cease to preach because he was committed to God and trusted that He would protect him. He was not only assured of protection, God also threatened to visit them with His anger. Their young men, God said, would die violently while others would die by famine. No one can battle with the Lord. He has the power to cast the wicked men into hell. Therefore, there is no fortress that can serve as a defence against His power. The enemies can associate themselves yet God will easily break them into pieces. For Him to be your Shield and Buckler, you need to live a life of total purity of heart. It is only then that your sacrifice can be acceptable before Him.

Virtue In Self-Abasement

- LUKE 7:1-10

Key Verse:
"Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:" (Luke 7:6).

Humility, as opposed to pride and arrogance, has the potential of opening closed doors. The humble in heart always esteems others better than himself. Some nations have had to fight needless and protracted wars because their leaders held on to vain pride, while their people perished in unnecessary and avoidable conflicts. In this regard, there is a lesson to learn from our text. It deals with a centurion who had a sick servant. He was a top Roman army officer. Ordinarily, he would not have bothered about his servant’s sickness. But he took the matter to Jesus, based on his belief that He came from God. He had recognized the Jews as carriers of God’s redemption message and built a synagogue for them. His faith and humility was particularly amazing as a Gentile, having not been brought up to know the living and true God. He had made it clear. In humility, he disclosed: ‘I am not worthy…’. The centurion knew that Jesus, by far a greater commander than himself, did not need to come to his house for his servant to be healed, just the same way he ‘a mere military commander’ did not need to be present for his orders to be carried out. Thus he said to Jesus, ‘Speak the word only’. Jesus, recognizing that such faith was rare in Israel, immediately spoke the word and his servant was healed. Many people have lost the opportunity of receiving their healing and deliverance at various church programmes because of lack of simple faith and a humble disposition. If such people could exercise the type of the centurion’s faith, even as little as ‘a grain of mustard seed’, they would have received their much needed miracles.

Christ For All Nations

-ISAIAH 19:20-25"

Key Verse:*"In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance" (ISAIAH 19:25).*"
There are certain truths that need no emphasis. It is a basic truth that God is the Almighty; that He is the Creator of the heaven and the earth and all the people therein - be they white or black. All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing, and He does according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can say to Him ‘what doest thou’? Our text deals with the supremacy of God over all nations and all people. Egypt was noted for her wisdom - a wisdom it attributed to the power of her gods. The nation thus became very idolatrous and questioned the authority and power of the almighty God. After a time of affliction and chastening, the two chief oppressors of Israel, Egypt and Assyria, according to prophecy, would unite in love, and worship the true God. ‘At the mention of the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow.’ The knees of people of all the nations of the world would bow on that day. The LORD of host shall say in that day, ‘Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance’ (verse 25). Known to God are His works from the foundation of the earth. The Almighty rules in the affairs of men. By this prophecy, all nations of the world would be blessed. In that day, political enemies, nations and peoples that had been miles apart would bow at the feet of Jesus. But let us not wait till that time. Now is the time for us all to know Him and the power of His resurrection. For it is through a reverential knowledge of God that we can discover and enjoy the best He has prepared for us through the all-sufficient merit of His dear Son.

Watch Your Tongue

- NUMBERS 12:9-16"

Key Verse:*"With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?" (Numbers 12:.*"
Envy and jealousy often arise when people are displeased that others are ahead of them in life. Although they do not openly it it, they feel humiliated by the success of others, and wished the good things were happening to them. They may go any length to express disdain for those doing better than them in life. Sometimes, those that envy are close to the successful. For Moses, it must have been a shock that his brother and sister, Aaron and Miriam, were unhappy with his popularity and success in leading the Israelites. Since they could find nothing to complain personally about Moses, whom God called the meekest of men, they found fault with his wife. If Moses knew of their unkind conduct, he did not show it. Instead, it was God that stepped in to deal with the two offenders. He struck Miriam with leprosy; and Aaron, fearing he was next to face judgment, cried out to Moses, calling him “my lord”, in recognition of his authority and standing. He couldn’t pray to God; he knew God would not hear sinners. So, he pleaded with Moses, who then prayed to God to heal Miriam. God did but insisted that she must be separated from the camp for a while. Unfortunately for the Israelites too, the sin of Miriam delayed their journey for one week. Sin of any kind is deadly; it separates one from the Lord; it hinders progress and attracts God’s judgment. Rather than wait to regret your actions, you should quickly correct your wrong thoughts and motives which lead to sin. If you are still committing sin, do not delay, quickly plead with the Lord for cleansing, forgiveness and pardon. Thereafter, watch over your life that iniquity does not creep in and become your ruin*Thought for the day: *Though hand ed in hand, the wicked shall not go unpunished

Irreplaceable Goodly Treasure

-MATTHEW 13:44-52

"Key Verse:*“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field” (Matthew 13:44).*"
The Bible is the ultimate and final authority in all matters. Those who look elsewhere for so- called truth, merely deceive themselves and toy with their temporal and eternal destiny. In our text, the Bible instructs that the kingdom of heaven is a great treasure and that whosoever finds it must guard it jealously. The parable talks about a man who found a treasure in a field and because of the worth of the treasure, sold off everything he had to buy the field. The knowledge of the kingdom of God is the greatest treasure anyone can find. Stories abound of believers who had sacrificed their lives for the kingdom of God. They received the word and embraced the promise of eternal life. Many of them, for the sake of heaven, were burnt with fire, thrown to lions or sawn asunder with the sword. They chose to die rather than give up the treasure they had found. Our text explains that the treasure found in the kingdom of God is beyond any other treasure in life. Jesus spoke of goodly pearls, in which a merchant sold all his possession to buy because of its worth. The salvation of our souls is a great treasure that believers must guard jealously. The joy that floods a believer’s heart at salvation is of great value and must continue. It is worth more than any acquisition on earth. Do not turn around to the things you’ve left behind. Do not lose the costly treasure or exchange it for any other thing, for it is, indeed, a costly pearl.*Thought for the day: *Buy the truth and sell it not*Bible Reading in one Year: *LUKE 3 - 4

Train Up A Child-

PSALM 78:1-9"

Key Verse:*“For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children” (Psalm 78:5).*"
ur topic today is very instructive, especially in the light of negligence of child training by some Christian parents. The psalmist explicitly noted that God gave His law to Jacob’s descendants, and mandated them to teach their children so that each new generation would know His law and be able to it on to others. The psalmist gave three major reasons for this. The first was that it would help them to know God, His law and works. Secondly, it would enable them to trust in Him, while the third was that it would make them to be obedient to God. These would make the new generation of Israel to appreciate God unlike their ancestors, who became stubborn, rebellious and unfaithful to Him. The psalmist equally noted an instance where the Ephraimites exhibited cowardice. They were armed, but when the battle began, they ran away because they were afraid. This act of cowardice could be attributed to lack of faith in God. So, informing their children of God’s glorious deeds and mighty miracles would enable them to live right and build their faith in Him. Sadly, many Christian parents have lost control of their children because of negligence in training them. They allow their children to live unworthy lifestyle to the extent that one could hardly place a difference between children born to Christian parents and unbelievers on the street. Many parents are wallowing in agony and regrets over lack of parental dictates evident in their children’s lives. If the cycle of child delinquency is to be broken, we need to apply scriptural principles in bringing up our children in the ways of the Lord. This is the sacred duty of parents which cannot be transferred to anyone else.*Thought for the day: *Children are the reflections of our standing in the faith

Error Of Omission

-EXODUS 21:26-36

"Key Verse:*"But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death" (Exodus 21:29).*"
The principle of responsibility for wrongs done to others, as explained in the Bible, plainly states that one is liable for the actions of his agents as long as he owes that agent a duty of care and control. In the case of animals, it makes little difference that the owner is not aware of its destructive tendencies. The Lord had given Moses the laws guiding man’s relationship with God and fellow man in the preceding chapter, known as “The Ten Commandments”. Underlying the commandments governing man’s relationship with one another is the principle of equity: “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. And to underscore God’s view of the sanctity of life, an animal which killed a human being was to be killed; the owner himself was to suffer similar fate if he was aware of the animal’s destructive traits. Today, God still highly upholds the sanctity of life. Sins of omission are as serious in the eyes of the Lord as sins of commission. Carelessness or negligence must be avoided by true followers of Christ. The major difference between man and animal is in man’s possession of a reasoning faculty. If we have faculties to guide us in our daily life and fail to use them, then we are culpable before the Lord. The Scripture ens us to walk carefully through life to be able to reap the blessings God has graciously provided for His children. We should watch over our domestic animals to keep them from harming people or destroying their properties.*Thought for the day: *Acts of omission and commission attract punishment*Bible Reading in one Year: *JUDE 1

Foolishness Of Prejudice

-MARK 11:27-33

Key Verse:
"And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders, And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?" (MARK 11:27,28).

There are not many maladies that can so badly impair one’s sense of judgment as prejudice (irrational dislike of somebody). Someone once defined prejudice as, “A vagrant opinion without visible means of ”. It blindfolds, injures and even kills. Its worst victim is often the person who exercises it. During Christ’s earthly ministry, the priests, scribes and elders had an obsessive, unfounded hatred for Him. They showed it openly and subtly. Today’s text presents one of such occasions of their antagonism. They had watched Him teach in the temple with a mixture of envy and malice, so they queried Him. The intent of their questions was to ensnare or, at best, ridicule Christ by making Him seem like a usurper or blasphemer. But wisdom prevailed. Christ responded with another question that exposed their hypocrisy. They knew the truth – that both John the Baptist and Jesus Christ derived their authority from God. Even someone of their rank, Nicodemus, had earlier acknowledged Christ as “a teacher come from God”. But here, they would neither openly it it, lest they should acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah; nor could they discredit John’s ministry as a human design lest they be mobbed by commoners. In their face-saving attempt, they refused to answer Christ’s question. His question therefore, took care of theirs. The gospel has never been so vehemently attacked by people more than men of influence, especially religious people whose interest are threatened by the gospel light. But how vain it is to antagonize the truth! Often times, the same rod of attack eventually proves to be the instrument of its promotion while its peddlers get confounded. As you step out this day, pray not to be blinded or shackled by prejudice against the truth. Rather, let the boldness and wisdom of righteousness be your strength.

Return Of The Ark-

1 CHRONICLES 13:1-14"

Key Verse:*"And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it" (1 Chronicles 13:6 ).*"
One of the tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency” - Arnold H. Glasow. In emergency situations, even the best of leaders resort to panic actions. The ark, a symbol of God’s presence, power and protection had been captured and kept by the Philistines for seven months. It was later returned to Israel and kept at Kirjath-jearim, about ten miles from Jerusalem. But king Saul, throughout his reign, treated the ark with disdain as it lay in obscurity. At Hebron, David had been made king over all Israel (1 Chronicles 12:38-40), and one of his foremost duties was to mobilize the people to bring back the ark to Jerusalem without any delay. And this they did with great pomp, joy and dancing. No matter how important and noble our work for the Lord might seem, it is a grievous sin to take Him for granted. Uzza learnt the hard way. While the ark was being brought back to Jerusalem, he put forth his hand to hold and prevent it from falling - a forbidden act. He was immediately visited with the wrath of God; he died. Surrounding the entire episode of Uzza’s ignoble act was the prize of doing a noble deed in an ignoble manner. The prescription of the law was that the ark should be carried by the sons of Kohath and specifically prohibited the use of a cart; neither should it be touched by a human hand. As we engage in the work of the Lord, we must ensure we do so, not perfunctorily, but with due diligence, reverence and promptness. This is because God’s work is a serious business and we must see it as David regarded it. A carefree and presumptuous attitude to the work of the ministry should be abhorred and avoided.*Thought for the day: *Love and reverence, not expediency, must characterize our work for God.*Bible Reading in one Year: *1 JOHN 1 - 5

The Most Troublous Years

-DANIEL 12:5-13

Key Verse:

"And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, ...sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished" (DANIEL 12:7).
Both Testaments of the Bible foretold what the end of the present system would be. Daniel is one of the prominent Scriptures in this regard. The last chapter from which today’s text is taken, summarizes and concludes the great revelations contained in the book. The earlier verses foretold the eventual deliverance of the Jews from Antiochus that would greatly persecute them. Beyond that, it points to the fate of believers (dead and alive) towards the coming of the Antichrist. They will be raptured to meet the Lord in the air and would be rewarded for their works. Daniel was to seal the Book because its ultimate fulfilment was then a distant time. Christ’s coming at the rapture would principally be to deliver be- lievers from the tyranny and troubles that would be unleashed on the world during the Antichrist’s reign. It will particularly be a very trying time for Israel. The concern in today’s text was how long the trouble would be. The Bible reveals that the Antichrist will reign for seven years; first three and half, he will deceive the world, gain global acceptance and eventually enter into agreement with Israel. But Israel’s real trouble will begin with the last three and a half years when the Antichrist will renege, desecrate their worship and persecute them. Those “time, times, and an half” (three and half years) will be the most troublous years ever in this world. The merciless atrocities of the Antichrist would be mingled with divine judgment and unleashed on those who remain in the world. As the cloud gathers and the end-time signs become more glaring, God’s call becomes more urgent, “Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast” (Isaiah 26:20). Will you tarry in the world or are you ready for the rapture?

Thought for the day: To be left behind after rapture will be the greatest miss of all times.

Be Vigilant-

MATTHEW 13:24-43"

Key Verse:*"Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way" (Matthew 13:24,25).*"
AChristian life demands constant vigilance, and believers must always crosscheck their lives to ensure nothing has crept in unaware. It is deceptive to assume that one is insulated from the defilement of the world, when one lives and works in the midst of unbelievers without discretion. In today’s text, Jesus employed many parables during His teaching. He never explained the meaning to the multitudes who listened to Him, but only to His disciples. One of such parables was on tares sown by an enemy among good seeds. He said the owner of the vineyard had done his bit by sowing good seed and had left thereafter. But while he was asleep, the enemy invaded the farm with a strange weed. The seed was discovered by vigilant servants, who noticed the strange outgrowth among the wheat. The response of the vineyard owner, that the tares should be left alone until harvest time when they would be destroyed, instruct believers about negative influences and how they should be handled with wisdom. Believers are in a corrupt world; they hear and see terrible things that are capable of choking up their Christian conviction. If believers wilfully refuse to make a difference between righteousness and unrighteousness, virtues and vices, good and bad, right and wrong, and begin to pattern their lives in line with the negative influence of these times, then they are not wise. Like the servants of the vineyard owner in the text, who were able to detect the tares because they were vigilant, believers must be vigilant so that they will not be swept off their feet unknowingly. A focused and visionary believer must detect and shun evil no matter how strong the influence may be.*Thought for the day: *As you watch, apply discretion in tackling any impending danger
