TOPIC: DON’T GIVE YOURSELF CHEAP TO SATAN
TEXT: Mark 10:17-23
KEY VERSE: Ephesians 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

In today’s Bible reading, we see how the rich young man was offended. He wanted to know what to do to inherit the kingdom of God. Jesus told him to keep the commandment of love etc. and he said he has done all that. But when Jesus went further to instruct him to sell what he had and give to the poor so as to have treasure in heaven, he became downcast and went away. There is always a price to pay for following Jesus. Which son is not chastised by his father? Which teacher does not test his students? Which educational institution does not set examinations before graduating students? Why was the rich young man grieved because of riches? Can the riches save him from hell? Couldn’t he have escaped hell without the riches? Did Jesus really mean to remove all the wealth from him? Was he not going to give him something better than material wealth? Did Jesus really mean that Isaac should die? Was He not just trying to see how Abraham would react?

You were failing God’s trial in the past because of ignorance, but from today you will pass the test because you have understood. Now you know that an angel is standing by marking your paper. Therefore, you will not allow any evil thoughts to take root in your mind. In your privacy you will not allow evil talk to come out of your mouth for God knew when Sarah doubted. Therefore, be strong in the Lord and in faith. We wrestle with the devil at all times. Even as you are listening to a sermon or as you are reading the devotional and the Lord is sowing a seed into your heart, the devil is also standing by to see which people he could steal the word from.  How are you going to handle offences? Somebody steps on your toes (whether deliberately or accidentally); he may be an agent of Satan to cause you offence and steal your peace. We wrestle because Satan does not want righteousness. He has convinced his own children in the world and they have agreed with him that they will stand against righteousness. So wherever the children of God are, they are also there to cause commotion and win souls for Satan their master.  Don’t give yourself cheap to Satan. Resist the devil.

Thought for the day:  Make sure you don’t fall for the tricks and deception of Satan.
Song for the day:   I know my Redeemer liveth………

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
