TOPIC: BE READY TO LIVE WITH CONTRADICTIONS OF SINNERS
AUGUST Saturday 25th
TEXT: Hebrews 12:3-4
KEY VERSE: It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? Matthew 10: 25
The believer must be ready to live with the contradictions of sinners for Jesus faced the same challenge and endured it. Even family members mocked as they did not believe on Him. John 7:1-5, “After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand. His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. For neither did his brethren believe in him.” The people also doubted Him. John 7:12, “And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.”
Stop complaining about every inconvenience and deprivation. If you want everything about your life to be smooth, you cannot be a disciple of Jesus. You must be ready to condone the hatred of men and suffering for the sake of heaven. Luke 14:33, “So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Paul passed through the university of suffering and presented the certificate of suffering as his credential and qualification for the apostolic calling (2 Corinthians 11:23-28). Paul did not enjoy perfect health. All attempts to get it removed was turned down by the Lord. It was a necessity. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, “And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”
Thought for the day: Do not be disturbed by what men say or do. Your business is with Jesus.
Song for the day: Onward Christian soldiers matching as to war…
