Obedience Brings Blessing

TEXT: LEVITICUS 14:33-57

KEY VERSE: ”To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy” (Leviticus 14:57).

Long before medical science taught washing of hands after going to the toilet as a precaution against deadly diseases and their spread, the God of Israel had led His people through these rudiments. He had also directed them to dig the earth a good distance from their habitation to dispose of body waste. These were among the host of hygienic laws that preserved the ancient Israelites as they wandered in the wilderness after liberation from Egypt.

In chapters 13 and 14 of the book of Leviticus, and especially in the passage before us today, God told the Israelites how to diagnose leprosy so they could avoid it or treat it. These laws were given for the people’s health and protection. They helped them avoid diseases that were serious threats to their lives. Although they wouldn’t have understood the medical reasons for some of these laws, their obedience to them made them healthier. Many of God’s laws must have seemed strange to the Israelites. His laws, however, helped them avoid not only physical contamination, but moral and spiritual infection as well.

From the above, the moral for us in this day and age is that the word of God still provides a pattern for physical, spiritual and moral lives. Immorality and uncleanness can lead to sexually transmitted diseases; drunkenness or alcoholism causes cirrhosis of the liver; and smoking can lead to lung cancer. Above all, there is heaven to lose if one should indulge in any of these vices.

True believers have the grace to live above temptations and make it to heaven. This grace is available for all at no cost. You also can obtain it today through prayer of faith in God.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God’s laws are timeless.

 

Parents: Standing Against Satan's Attack on Your Children

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. —Matthew 18:6

God made a covenant with Abraham and pronounced a multitude of blessings upon him. Why? Because God knew Abraham would raise his children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

Abraham became the father of many nations, and the entire earth has been blessed through his seed. You are en-grafted into the family of Abraham and are blessed because of his righteous seed.

Our children are our righteous seed, and Satan is after them. He has turned our public schools into cesspools of godless propaganda where God is publicly mocked and reviled.

It is time to take a stand against the devil. The blood-bought saints of God must rescue this generation with the blood of Jesus, with the Word of God, and with prayer. Pray a hedge of protection around the children in your life.

What stand is Christ calling you to make in Your family, at work, in church, and in your community? Are you will to stand up for Jesus no matter what the cost?

Jesus, give me the courage to stand firm on Your truth. Guide me in raising my 
children in the fear of God. Protect  my children and family from every attack. Amen.

Words of encouragement for someone

When you were nothing God made you somebody when you were hungry God fed you with His choicest meal when you were naked God clothed you with the best of raiment when you were poor God enriched with His marvelous wealth so that you were recognized among princes when you were unlovable God loved you with all that He is. 

They should not be the source of your joy (for from these blessings some become proud and live after them thereby making a god out of them), but rather let the source from which each blessings are produced be your eternal joy. Be thankful to God for the most little and the most largest blessing you've ever received and for the ones you're yet to receive for He is the I AM...THAT I AM, and He is not through with you yet

FOOD FOR THOUGHT(YOU ARE UNIQUE!)

YOU ARE UNIQUE!

Think what a remarkable, unduplicatable, and miraculous thing it is to be you! Of all the people who have come and gone on the earth since the beginning of time, not ONE of them is like YOU!

No one who has ever lived or is to come has had your combination of abilities, talents, appearance, friends, acquaintances, burdens, sorrows and opportunities.

No one’s hair grows exactly the way yours does. No one’s finger prints are like yours.

No one before, no one to come. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE!
Enjoy that uniqueness. You do not have to pretend in order to seem more like someone else.

You weren’t meant to be like someone else. You do not have to lie to conceal the parts of you that are not like what you see in anyone else.

You were meant to be different. Nowhere ever in all of history will the same things be going on in anyone’s mind, soul and spirit as are going on in yours right now.

If you did not exist, there would be a hole in creation, a gap in history, something missing from the plan for humankind.

Treasure your uniqueness. It is a gift given only to you. Enjoy it and share it!

No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can. No one can speak your words.

No one can convey your meanings. No one can comfort with your kind of comfort. No one can bring your kind of understanding to another person.

No one can be cheerful and lighthearted and joyous in your way. No one can smile your smile.

No one else can bring the whole unique impact of you to another human being.

Share your uniqueness. Let it be free to flow out among your family and friends and people you meet in the rush and clutter of living wherever you are.

That gift of yourself was given you to enjoy and share. Give yourself away!

See it! Receive it! Let it tickle you! Let it inform you and nudge you and inspire you! YOU ARE UNIQUE!

Get Knowledge, Get Understanding

TEXT: PROVERBS 17:15-28

KEY VERSE: “He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit” (Proverbs 17:27).

It was not a coincidence that one of the first acts of young Solomon as the King of Israel was to ask God to give him the blessing of understanding to enable him rule God’s people. We should also not see it as happenstance that only a few verses after God granted Solomon’s request, the king applied his new-found weapon to judge two feuding harlots. The two cases were planned by God to underscore the strategic role of knowledge, wisdom and understanding in human affairs.

In the passage today, God distills for us the rules of knowledge, wisdom and understanding. We pay attention to these for our own good and for the lengthening of our days here on earth. No better way than to list the lesson God has for us today. Practice equity in all matters, never justify the wicked nor condemn the just. Be ready to pay the full price to get wisdom, it will preserve your life. Let your love for others be constant in times of joy and adversity. Do not be a surety to a stranger, preserve your life. Live at peace with all men and be humble. Do not give or receive bribe, God hates it. Avoid foolish behaviour and lifestyle, so you do not bring sorrow to all that love you. Control your tongue!

Paul, the apostle desired “That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man. That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye , being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breath, and length, and depth, and height, and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.”

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You are aimless in life if you lack wisdom.
