DO NOT BLOCK THE WAY OF GOD THROUGH YOUR HUMAN SYMPATHY OR JUDGMENT

 For taking your time to study remain blessed. 

TOPIC: DO NOT BLOCK THE WAY OF GOD THROUGH YOUR HUMAN SYMPATHY OR JUDGMENT August Saturday 8th

TEXT: Psalm 139:1-3

KEY VERSE: Job 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. 


It takes spiritual understanding to see things in the way God sees them. A man was watching a cocoon (shell). The cocoon was shaking and turning this way and that way. He was wondering what was happening. Suddenly, the shell had a crack and the head of a butterfly came out of the cocoon. The man exclaimed, “Ah, so butterfly is inside here? This is mystery.” The cocoon continued shaking and shaking; turning here and there, then the head came out fully, but the body was still in the cocoon. The cocoon started turning again and the man in sympathy thought in his mind, Oh, you want to come out of this cocoon? Is the cocoon too strong to allow you come out? I am going to help you to come out. 


He went and picked the cocoon and broke the shell but in the process, the infant butterfly died. He started wondering why the butterfly died. What the man didn’t know was that the formation of the butterfly was attached to the strain it was passing through. As he saw the butterfly turn this way and turn that way, he didn’t know it was part of the maturing process for its body. As it turned and turned, the matured part of its body would come out. That is how God made the process of its birth. When the shell was artificially broken, the un-matured part of the body of the butterfly suffered irreversible damage in the process. That was why the butterfly died. So be careful how you meddle in other men’s matters. 


Are you a sympathetic person? We praise God, but be very careful. There is a limit to how you can interfere in other people’s matters. If you do not apply good discretion, you may turn out to be a nuisance and guilty of sin. You are not the creator of that person, so you cannot be more sympathetic than God.  Who knows more between you and God? Who is more pitiful, who is more understanding? Job said, “He knows the way that I take.” Do you know the way a man takes? That is why you must deal with care. Know that God has a programme for every man He has created. Learn not to interfere or block the way of God by your human sympathy or judgment. 


Thought for the day: Let God have His way in all situations

Song for the day: Have Your way oh Lord, in our lives…..

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 82-84; Romans 8:19-39

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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
