DON'T FEAR IDOLS OR SHRINES
JUNE Saturday 9th
Text: Isaiah 46:1-10
Key Verse: Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
Isaiah 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid … Is there a God beside me? … I know not any. The Devil puts people in bondage by creating fear in their heart. One of the things that causes this fear are idols and shrines. They are feared, they are worshipped, they are sacrificed to. People do all these things in ignorance believing that these idols or shrines have some powers to protect, to deliver, to prosper and to elongate their lives. But God is saying, fear not the idols for they are harmless. They are nothing compared to your Great God. Their incantations and spell cannot work on you. You are shielded by the power of God.
What operates in these idols and shrines are demons - wicked spirits who hate men with passion and are all out for their soul. There is nothing good in them. 1 Corinthians 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. If you put an empty pot on the tree, after some time bees will make it their habitation. It is the same way demons inhabit idols created by men. They are helpless. They are dead and have no life in them. Psalm 115:4-8 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. 5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: 6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: 7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. 8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
There is no god apart from God. 1 Corinthians 8:4-6 …We know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. 5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, … But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. Jesus came to set the captives free (Heb. 2:14-15). Jesus has triumphed over Satan, his demons and idols. Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Thought for the day: Ignore the idols. They are useless and harmless.
Song for the day: It is a great thing to serve the Lord
Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 29-31; John 18:1-23
