Do Not Settle For The Permissive Will Of God In Marriage  

Text: Numbers 24:14-22        

Friday 7th March

Key Verse: There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs 14:12
God knows how to allow people have their own way. The prodigal son’s father allowed his son, not according to his will. If he did not allow him, the young man would not give him peace. Eventually his son would affect others. God is a witness that Balaam was stopped but he refused. He was chastised but he refused to listen, so he was allowed.
God allowed Balaam to go and do his own will. God would still be glorified. Balaam went to hell, but the virtuous words and inspiration of Balaam remained for our righteousness. God can allow you to marry a sinner to your hurt, because of your disobedience. You may end up in hell, but God would remain faithful as a God of truth and love. Our God is a wise God. The father of the prodigal son allowed his son to have his will, certainly with much pressure on the father and rejection of the father’s instruction. The prodigal son had devised a way to his own hurt. If the father did not allow him, he too would suffer from the son’s continual troubling. The same thing goes for those who are solemnly warned against marrying each other, because of blood group or dangerous illness but refused to listen.
It was for mundane things that Balaam was carried away, otherwise, the Lord had told him, “Do not go with them.” Now that his heart was bent on going with them; in other words, the Lord gave him His permissive will to satisfy his carnal desire, but he later paid dearly for it. You will certainly regret it, if you insist on your will, to marry someone you know clearly the Lord has not approved for you. What you think you will benefit from the person shall turn to vanity and vexation of spirit.
Thought For The Day: God knows how to allow people have their own way. 
Song of the day: Follow, follow, I will follow Jesus………  
Bible Reading For The Day: Joshua 8-10

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
