Topic: DO NOT FOLLOW THE PATTERN OF LIFE OF SINNERS November Thursday 12th
Text: 2 Samuel 13:1-16
Key verse: 2 Sam 13:12 And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.
Never adopt the manner of sinners in the world. They go for vain beauty and start with boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. They propose to more than one person at a time. They disappoint and abandon a relationship anyhow and go for another one. They demand for sex as a proof of love. These are the things they do in the world. Love works no ill to his neighbour. It is a fulfilment of the law. Why do you want to break the heart of somebody? Do you have clear proof that the leadership can judge along with you and justify you? Are there clear reasons why you want to disengage from that relationship? Why will you hold this lady here, and another lady there, and another lady there, and you are promising them marriage? No liar has any part in the kingdom of God. Why wavering between two people? Let your yea be yea; let your nay be nay. Be very careful not to break people’s hearts. From one man you go and break another man’s heart. It may be these agents that have been hired to operate in the Church. They are not ready for marriage. No! They are just coming to cause confusion. Neither should you give sex for marriage. If you thought the person that proposed to you was from God and actually you have given an answer, but now he is demanding for sex, this is evidence to you that your eternal life is in jeopardy. If you compromise and later appear in hell fire, the Lord will say, “I gave you a sign. Didn’t you see the sign?” So you carried yourself to hell.
Some years ago, a minister of the gospel came to preach in the University and he started prophesying. He spoke of someone saying, “There is a man here. You have a lady you want to marry but the Lord wants me to tell you that lady is not His will for you. Why? You were talking to her about the need for baptism in the Holy Ghost and she rejected vehemently. Did you notice how she was resisting it? That is a sign to you that she is not of Me.” Some ladies perm their hair and wear hair attachments yet are very busy in the house of God. My brother, if the Lord will give you a wife let Him give you a complete wife. That which God did not finish, are you the one to go and finish it?
Thought for the day: Don’t follow the method of the world.
Song for the day: Wherever He leads I go....
Bible reading for the day:
Ezekiel 1-3; Hebrews 9
