TOPIC: STOP ROBBING GOD

Tithing has been a subject of hot debate and controversy among Christians.

Some feel that the person who has the tithe can decide what to do with it while others feel differently.

Some teach that tithing is an Old Testament practice that was done away with in the New Testament. As a result, the average Christian has been confused by the many instructions about this subject.

In today's passage, when God spoke about tithe, He accused His people of not doing what He had prescribed.

He then instructed them to bring all tithes into His storehouse so that there would be food so that they would enjoy all the blessings that come from their tithing.

We must practice tithing the way the Lord prescribed it so as to get His blessings.

QUESTION:
What does tithing mean to you and how do you practice it?

PRAYER:
Dear Lord, help me to stop robbing You by not tithing so that I can enjoy the blessings You have in store for me, in Jesus' name. Amen.

TEXT: MALACHI 3:1-5
TOPIC: WE NEED GOD'S CLEANSING..

God is interested in raising a godly generation that will represent Him here on earth. Despite the compromises His people made, He planned to bring about transformation amongst them. He do that through the messenger He was going to send.

That messenger will be like a refiner's fire, a launderer's soap. He will purify and refine us so that we can offer acceptable sacrifices to Him. The cleansing process will not be easy. But that is God's way of preparing the people for Himself.

Therefore, we must check and purge ourselves of any sin so that we can seek His face to receive the cleansing that ushers us into His presence.

QUESTION:
Have you entangled yourself in sin that has taken you far away from God?

PRAYER:
Purge me, O Lord, from any form of contamination and make me a tool in Your hands, in Jesus' name. Amen!

TEXT: MALACHI 2:10-17
TOPIC: GOD HATES DIVORCE

God has never compromised His stand against syncretism, divorce and false religion.

Judah got herself entangled with other nations, thereby breaking the heart of God.

The priests also broke faith with the wives of their youth. God did not tolerate these acts.

We must understand that mixing Christianity with other beliefs is seriously against the plans of God and separation and, or, divorce is not accepted by Him.

People, for their own comfort, support these acts even when God says He hates them (Mal 2:16).

We must turn away from any acts that combine God with idols and mend our broken marital relationships so that we can practice pure religion.

QUESTION:
How is your relationship with God and with your spouse?

PRAYER:
Deliver Your people from the sin of mixing Christ with other gods and help us heal our broken relationships with our spouses, in Jesus' name. Amen.

TEXT: MALACHI 1:6-14
TOPIC: HONOUR GOD

Our understanding of God is manifested in the way we relate with Him.

Some people see God as the ultimate and give Him the best of their lives. Others see God as a person they can play around with and do whatever they want to do to Him.

God expressed His displeasure with the attitude of the Israelites, especially the sacrifices they bring to Him.

They take the best and give Him the bad ones. Because that was dishonourable and disrespectful, He drew their attention through a very serious rebuke.

We should understand that the God we serve deserves the greatest honour and respect for Him to bless us.

QUESTION:
Do you honour God in all aspects of your life?

PRAYER:
I bow in repentance, dear Lord, for not honouring You. Help me to give You the respect You deserve, in Jesus' name. Amen.

TOPIC: TRUST IN GOD’S LOVE

God's love is beyond human comprehension. Hence, the need for everyone to be patient to learn and understand His love for us.

The Israelites doubted the love of God which implies that they doubted God Himself. God is love and all that is around Him is love.

It is important to understand that even when we pass through challenges and it looks as if God is far away, we need to know that His love is there and the challenges of life are necessary to prune and make us better people.

Learn to trust God even when you don't seem to see His love. Then, you will be a better child who trusts in God not based on the things you see but on the revelation from His word.

QUESTION:
How do you feel when things don’t go your way?

PRAYER:
Help me, dear Lord, to understand Your love amid the challenges of life. Amen.

TEXT: JOHN 8:12-20
TOPIC: JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Most of the time, we like to think that our days and generation are the most enlightened and sophisticated, especially with the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the renaissance of Information Technology (IT).

But Jesus implied in John 8:12 that without Him the world is groping in the dark. Not only do we grope in darkness but we love the darkness. Why? Because we are by our fallen nature wicked and evil despite our technological advancements.

Any nation or society that rejects Jesus is walking in darkness, whether the nation is technologically advanced or an emerging economy.

Any nation that endorses LGBTQ, abortion, pro-choice, domestic partnership, puberty blockers for transgender persons, etc, is blind and depraved, no matter the level of it's progress.

QUESTION:
Are we walking in the light or in darkness?

PRAYER:
Dear Lord, help us not to be deluded into believing that we are enlightened despite our moral decadence.

TEXT: JOHN 7:37-44
TOPIC: YOU CANNOT BE NEUTRAL ABOUT THE TRUTH

Jesus, who is the embodiment of truth, declares that one cannot be neutral on the matters of truth. There is no standing on the fence. You are either for Him or against Him. You are either siding the truth or falsehood, righteousness or unrighteousness.

On the last day of the festival, Jesus gave an open invitation to believe in Him or reject Him, the living water.

Jesus' word splits the crowd into believers and unbelievers, lovers of truth and haters of truth.

In every organization or society there are three types of people: those who have made decision for something, those who have made decision against something and those who are indecisive.

Indecisive people are dangerous because they are like Judas Iscariot. Judas is the epitome of a man of double standards. He is a core member of Christ's team and a member of the high priest's team.

These kinds of people sometimes switch their loyalty between two leaders. A wise leader will do well to keep such fellow at bay.

QUESTION:
Are you neutral about the truth?

PRAYER:
Dear Lord, help me to make decisions that are in keeping with Your will.

TEXT: JOHN 6:52-59
TOPIC: DIFFICULT TEACHING.

There are times when the content of Christ's teaching can only be understood by illumination of the Holy Spirit. The audience Jesus, who took His metaphorical teaching as literal drinking of blood, found it scandalous and disgusting (Leviticus 19:36). They could not understand that eating His flesh and drinking His blood are metaphors for believing in His substitutionary death and resurrection.

The charge of cannibalism is not new. During the time of Nero, who persecuted Christians, the early church was accused of practicing cannibalism because the disciples spoke of elements during Holy Communion as the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ. They did not understand that it was a symbolic representation.

Even today, non-Christians who cannot withstand the Bible because they are spiritually bereft blame Christians for many things, such as worshipping three God's and making Jesus God. Paul tells us that "the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God" (2 Corinthians 4:4).

QUESTION :
Are there gray areas in the Christian beliefs that you are yet to understand?

PRAYER:
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord, I want to see You, in Jesus' name. Amen!

TOPIC: DON'T BE AFRAID

Fear is our survival response; it is a natural;and biological condition that we all experience.

The universal trigger of fear is the threat of harm, real or imagined.

The disciples of Jesus had covered about five kilometers across the lake to Capernaum, battling a strong wind in the night.

Suddenly, they saw an eerie figure confidently approaching the boat; they had never seen anything like it. As one might expect, they were terrified to their bones.

Jesus calmed them, saying, “It is I; don't be afraid.” With that consolation, they took Him into the boat, and as they sailed to the
shore, they kept smiling at the storms.

Like the disciples, we can trust the consoling words of Jesus: “Do not be afraid; it is I.”

Jesus promised to be with us as we go through the storms of life, whether these storms involve a lack of money, food, health, employment, the loss of a family member, barrenness, or any other catastrophe.

Jesus is speaking to your situation: “It is I; don’t be afraid.”

QUESTION:
Are you willing to take Jesus into your turbulent boat so you can smile at the storms?

PRAYER:
I am afraid of many existential threats. Please, Jesus, come into my boat and calm the storms I am facing.

TEXT: JOHN 4:11-26
TOPIC: EVERYONE WHO DRINKS THIS WATER WILL BE THIRSTY AGAIN.

Jesus dialogued with a social outcast, a woman, a Samaritan and a sinner. Jesus, the greatest physician was clerking His spiritually sick patient. In medicine, clerking involves taking a full history, a physical examination and documentation in the patient's notes, including the documentation of a working diagnosis and care plan.

In His dialogue with her, Jesus took her step by step to understand her true need. The woman did not expect Jesus to talk to her, let alone become spiritually defiled by drinking from a sinful Samaritan woman. Jesus responded that she was missing a great opportunity, because He could give her living water.

Such spiritual would be far superior to any that came from the well. The only water that can quench human thirst and meet our needs permanently is the living water. As for hunger, it is the living bread.

QUESTION: Which water have you been fetching for so many years that you are willing to trade for the living water?

PRAYER: Dear Lord, give me the willingness to allow Jesus the great physician to take a full history and medical examination of my case, in Jesus' name. Amen!

TEXT: JOHN 3:1-9
TOPIC: WE KNOW

Nicodemus is a knowledgeable, experienced, Famous and esteemed member of the Jewish supreme Ruling Council (JSRC). His full name is Buni Ben Gurion according to the Jewish Talmud literature and Midrash, which are compilations of Jewish ancient teachings regarded as sacred. Nicodemus whose name means "Victory of the people, " came to Jesus under the cover of the night because of his high standing in the community.

The opening statement of Nicodemus to Jesus is: "Rabbi, we know...." These two words are very significant and should be looked into. “We” implies that Nicodemus is not alone; He sees himself as speaking for at least some of the pharisees and members of the Jewish supreme Council (sanhedrin) who essentially agree with him that Jesus is a teacher who has come from God. They also agreed that the Miracles Jesus performed validate His claim that He came from God.

In Africa, there are many prototypes of Nicodemus: renowned theologians and writers, members of guilds, professional bodies, board members, general overseers, founders, titleholders, etc., who despite their knowledge and pedigree, are not yet born again.

QUESTION:
Are you among those who possess knowledge about God but do not have relationship with Jesus as Lord and savior?

PRAYER:
Empty me of Pride, Lord. I want to be truly born again. Enough of my pretense.

TEXT: JOHN 2:1-11
TOPIC: DID JESUS MAKE INTOXICATING BEVERAGES?

In most African communities, clusters of drunken people staggering around aimlessly are a common sight.

Any attempt to dissuade them from drunkenness will be met with stiff resistance and a ready-made answer: "Jesus made wine in Galilee." This argument does not hold water because the wine Jesus made was not an alcoholic beverage that get's one drunk stupor. The Bible doesn't contradict itself.

Jesus cannot make an alcoholic intoxicant that has been forbidden by God. Grape juice has been referred to in the Bible as 'new wine' (Proverbs 20:1; 31:4-5; Ephesians 5:18).

The World Health Organization estimates that alcohol kills three million people throughout the world every year. In other words, alcohol is the cause of 5.3 percent of all human deaths annually. About one in every twenty deaths worldwide results from alcohol-related disease, injuries, accidents, murder, or su***de.

The rate of alcohol deaths is greater than that of HIV/AIDS, which causes less than 2 percent of deaths worldwide.

It is unthinkable that the wine Jesus made was an intoxicating alcoholic beverage. It was, in fact, fresh grape juice that is called new wine.

QUESTION:
Are you a victim of alcoholism?

PRAYER:
Help me, Lord, I don't want to be a slave to alcohol consumption. Please help me to be free from possible addiction.
