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

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...
