TOPIC: CHILDREN LEFT TO THEMSELVES WILL BECOME TOOLS IN THE HANDS OF THE DEVIL

TEXT: 1 Samuel 2:12-21

KEY VERSE: 1 Samuel 2:12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord.

In today’s devotional text, God described the sons of Eli this way: Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord. These were children of Satan. They were wicked children.  They could be occultic. They were demonic and probably wizards. They did not know the Lord. How did this happen? Eli, how did you live with your children and they came to the point that Satan fully took them over? How did you live with the children that they became wizards? How did they join occultism and became members of illuminati? How did you treat them? Eli! You did not train someone to replace you, even as the high priest? You were busy so much in this work that you forgot those that will succeed you? You did not know that succession in this work requires righteousness? Why did you not give much time to these children? The Bible says, “Train up a child in the way he should go.” Did you take time to train one of your children to become a faithful high priest before the Lord? 

Eli, you missed it from the beginning. You missed your early work. You were negligent. You left these children on their own and you were busy doing other things. Eli, in all your movement, you were swinging only one hand; you were not exercising the second hand. You did not know that if you left it too long it would become paralyzed? See it now! You preserved it without using it. Daddy, mummy, the child that is left to himself shall be a sorrow to you tomorrow. You left that child and whatever he wanted you gave him. You said to the child, “Take! Sleep as much as you want. Do whatever you want to do as much as you want.” No training! Whatever she cried for you say, “Oh, okay, take, take, take." Even when she wanted to take a knife, you gave her because she was crying. You said to yourself “I had better give her the knife so that I can rest.” You may rest today but tomorrow you will wake up in tears. Do you want to present rotten children to God? Did He give them rotten to you at birth? Were they not beautiful and wonderful bundles of joy? Your children are God’s heritage, preserve them in good condition; otherwise, you will not be blameless.

Thought for the day: You are a caretaker for God over your children. Keep them undefiled.
Song for the day: Let the Lord have His way, let the Lord have His way……
Bible reading for the day: Exodus 31-33; Matthew 22:23-46

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...
