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

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
