Topic: ZEAL WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE IS NOT GOOD November Wednesday 4th
Text: Acts 10:1-6:
Key verse: Proverbs 19:2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good.
In today’s devotional text, we understand that Cornelius was a devout, generous and prayerful man, who feared God with his entire house. Unfortunately, he was ignorant of what he needed to do to get his name in the Book of Life and save himself and his family from eternal damnation. Although he was committed to the worship of God, Cornelius' understanding of God's requirement for salvation from sin and eternal life was very shallow and only based on observance of the Old Testament laws. He was not aware that justification was by faith in Jesus Christ. God saw the sincerity of Cornelius and sent an angel to him to instruct him on what he needed to do to get right with God. He obeyed and sent for Peter who was thirty-five miles away to hear the instruction of life for the salvation of his soul and that of his household. If Cornelius had disobeyed the revelation message and instruction of divine mercy sent to him, he would have perished with his household despite all his alms-giving, prayers, fasting and commitment to God's worship, because their worship was on wrong premises. God can only be appeased through faith on the Lord Jesus Christ, which he was ignorant of.
If you do not want to perish, you must seek for the total truth of the gospel that will save your soul from condemnation. Go for the total gospel truth, embrace it and live by it. Discover the doctrine of salvation, sanctification, baptism with the Holy Spirit, Christian marriage, tithes and offering, restitution, Christian dressing, holiness etc. Make necessary changes in your life, in your family and in your church, if you are a presiding pastor. Are you in illegal possession of someone else's property? Restore such to the rightful owner. Are you in a wrong marriage or “divorce and remarriage” situation? Repent and withdraw from such ungodly relationship. Are you living in wilful sin? Repent, forsake such sins and turn to God. Make right your wrongs.
Thought for the day: You need the WHOLE TRUTH of salvation to get saved.
Song for the day: He can never never change...
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 38-39; Hebrews 1
