The Sons Of Belial In The Church 

Thursday 1st May

Text:  1 Samuel 2:12-17

Key Verse:  Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial they knew not the LORD. 1 Samuel 2:12

Many youths of our day do not love the truth. Blindness has covered many of them. The devil has taken them to himself, but God wants to save them. God wants them to come to Him and be saved by His truth. God wishes that they are involved and engaged in His work. They have not yet died, rather, they are just beginning their lives on earth. May God who created them exercise His power over their lives. The power to draw them to Himself, and the power to open their eyes that they might see the righteous demand of God upon their lives. May Jesus save His children. Amen. 

Eli was the high priest, the one ministering to the children of Israel on matters of God, taking their sacrifices to God. He was the one reading the law of God to the people, to keep the people in the fear of God and in the love of God. God appointed Eli to this work. It was a divine work. His children should naturally take over this work from him as a high priest after his death. The children served together with Eli. Eli was old, and his children were actively working in the temple, but they were evil and wicked sons of Belial. Belial stands for Satan. They were sons of Satan. They had a father; a physical father, but spiritually they were under Satan's control. Satan dictated their lives, and their lifestyle. They served Satan. They did not know the law. They did not know the righteous God and were not living in obedience to Him.

We find a similar situation in our churches today. There are children whose parents are pastors, elders, and workers in the church, but they do not know the law. They are wicked and evil children. When they are at home, they dress well because of their parents but when they go to school, you will see Jezebel in the school environment, dressing like harlots. Some look humble when they come home but away from their parents, they are like demons in character, and in dressing, yet children of ministers. They know not the law! Pray for the transformation power of God over your life, over the life of your child, that the perishing souls may be recovered from Satan.  

Thought For The Day: Live as a child of God, not as a child of Satan.

Song For The Day: I have no power of my own (2x), I confess to you …
