ABRAHAM’S FAITH

KEY VERSE: “By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones” (Hebrews 11:22).

TEXT: HEBREWS 11:17-22

In her book Atheists Finding God, Jana Harmon investigates the conversions of atheists to Christianity in the modern West. Many atheists who never thought they would abandon their beliefs were influenced by the kindness of Christians. Nearly two-thirds of the atheists Harmon spoke to were not seeking God but something disrupted their resistance, leading them to embrace faith in Christ.

Abraham left his old religion to become a friend of God. His faith was tested and he passed, showing unquestionable obedience. He was willing to sacrifice his son Isaac, but at the last moment, an angel stopped him. Isaac also showed unwavering trust in his father and God throughout this ordeal. This story highlights the depth of Abraham’s faith and his willingness to follow God’s commands, even when they seem impossible. Ultimately, it demonstrates the importance of faith and obedience in one’s relationship with God.

Isaac did not allow his filial love for Esau to overrule his faith in God’s predicted promise to pass the firstborn inheritance to Jacob. He was faithful to God despite his preferential love for Esau. Despite earlier flaws in Jacob’s character, there was a resurgence of the faith of Abraham in his heart as he aged. This was manifested as he crossed his hands on his dying bed to bless the two sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh. He passed the blessing of the first son to Ephraim, the younger son. Joseph’s faith in the Promised Land outweighed the years of affluence and dignity in Egypt. He affirmed by faith that the Lord would yet visit his brethren and bring them unto the land of promise.

Having been called out of the world into the kingdom of God’s dear Son, Jesus Christ, we should remember to keep the torch of faith alive and endeavour to pass it to our progeny. We must never let it die with us. It is the faith of our fathers.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your deed of kindness can provide a path for someone to find his way to the cross.

GODLY VIRTUES - PART 2: PERSEVERANCE

MEMORY VERSE: “And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?” (Luke 18: 7)

TEXT: LUKE 18:1-8

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up,” said Thomas Edison. For Edison, F.A.I.L. meant ''First Attempt in Learning.'' Perseverance is the strong determination to continue in the face of difficulties, obstacles, or setbacks. Perseverance will make students defy all odds. Students exhibit perseverance when they feel exhausted but study through the night, keeping their eyes on the goal of achieving good grades. When faced with failure such students choose to face the challenge and try again, rather than give up.

Those who give up at the threshold of their breakthrough will never attain the desired success. Do not give! Do not quit. A little impetus will lead you to the path to victory. What makes or breaks people is how they react to difficulties and obstacles in life. Setbacks are often disguised opportunities. Make your obstacles stepping stones. Learn from past mistakes and failures and keep moving forward - you will prosper. Never let go; move forward! Refuse to give up on your studies or Christian life. You will surely win.

QUOTE: Try again rather than give up.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the fortitude to hold on till my breakthrough.

CHALLENGE: What makes or breaks people is how they react to difficulties

SPIRITUAL DNA.

KEY VERSE: “Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.” Galatians 4:7

TEXT: GALATIANS 4:4-7

DNA is known as “deoxyribonucleic acid”, it is like the Ddesign of our bodies. It holds all the informations that make us unique, like our eye and hair colour, even how tall we grow. What is truly interesting is that we inherit our DNA from our parents. This mix of genes from both parents is what makes each person special and determines how he or she looks and acts.

Indeed, our DNA is wonderful, it reflects how unique God created each of us. Just as our physical DNA influences our physical characteristics, so also there's a spiritual DNA that defines who we are as Christians. This spiritual DNA is found in our relationship with God through Jesus Christ and is shown in the way we live our lives. Also it identifies us as God's children and grants us access to His blessings. When we believe in Jesus, our spiritual DNA changes. We become new people, leaving behind our old way of sin. If your life does not show you belong to God, come to Jesus now, ask for forgiveness and cleansing through the blood of Jesus. It is the blood of the everlasting covenant. It has power to remove all sinful seeds (DNA) and confer on the repentant sinner the nature of God..

PRAYER: Loving Jesus, help me to be like You in all things.

THE TIME OF THE PROMISE

KEY VERSE: “But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt” (Acts 7:17).

TEXT: ACTS 7:17-35

Booker T. Washington recalls a story of an ex-slave from Virginia who had made a contract with his master before the Emancipation Proclamation, agreeing to buy himself by paying off his debt over time. Despite being freed by the proclamation, the ex-slave felt obligated to honour his agreement with his former master. He eventually paid off his debt, even though he was not legally bound to do so, as a matter of personal integrity and commitment. This act of fulfilling his promise was important to him, as he believed he could not truly enjoy his freedom until he had settled his debt. The ex-slave’s story exemplifies a strong sense of honour and integrity, showing the importance of keeping one’s word and honouring commitments, even in the face of adversity and changing circumstances.

Our passage forms part of Stephen’s defence before the Sanhedrin on the false accusation levelled against him bordering on blasphemy against God, the temple, and the Mosaic Law. His preaching had offended the synagogue of the Libertines (Jews who had been taken captive by the Romans in war and later set free and possibly had a separate synagogue in Jerusalem). They were not “able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake” (Acts 6:10,12); they summoned him before the Jewish council. Stephen thus began his speech by tracing the historical relationship which existed between God and Abraham (verses 1-8), Joseph (verses 9-19), Moses (verses 20-44) and David (verses 45-47).

Notably, narrating how God used Moses to deliver the Israelites, which forms the main thrust of our discourse, Stephen opined that the deliverance occurred when God needed to fulfil His promise to Abraham. This gives a clear testimony of God’s faithfulness and sovereignty. He honours His word more than His name! It means that despite the continued failures of His chosen people and the changing events in the world, God was working out His plan for His people.

Therefore, when faced with challenges, we should also remember His promises of deliverance, salvation, prosperity, etc.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God does not act late; He acts at the right time.

MOSES FORETELLS THE MESSIAH

MEMORY VERSE: “I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him” (Deuteronomy 18:18).

TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 18:16-19

Prophets of God generally predict things that must surely come to pass. Seeing into the future, they speak in the name of the Lord. The Bible says, “… when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him” (Jeremiah 28:9). Moses predicted that the Messiah (the Prophet) was to be a man, a Jew who would declare the word of God unto them.

The prophecy was fulfilled in Christ. Christ alone was like unto Moses as a Prophet. Christ was like unto Moses in respect to His office of mediation between God and man, in faithfulness, in signs and wonders and as a lawgiver. Christ alone resembles Moses but infinitely greater. Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords. In all available records of universal history, none was like to Moses as Christ was. Phillip exclaimed, “we found Him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write to be Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God." Follow Christ and not a social media idol.

QUOTE: Christ alone was like unto Moses.

PRAYER: Help me to obey Christ in all things, Oh God.

CHALLENGE: God the Father said, “Hear ye him”

FORWARD EVER.

KEY VERSE: “And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee ...” Genesis 19:17a

TEXT: GENESIS 19:17-22

The will and plan of God for you is that you will make progress in all areas of your life- spiritually, physically, socially and academically. What is important is that you obey His word. Obedience to divine direction is the key to expecting the blessings of God.

Lot and his family escaped divine judgment that came on S***m and Gomorrah. Then the instruction of the angels was that they should not look back. When his wife remembered all the things she had left behind, she looked back and she became a pillar of salt.

Just like Lot's wife, many children don't like to obey simple instruction. They profess to be friends of Jesus who are seeking the kingdom of God, yet somehow, they are looking backward. They can't totally forsake all the things they used to have and do, so that they might enjoy the full package of salvation that comes from Christ.

God has a good plan for your life and He does not want you to miss out because of disobedience. His will is for you to go forward with faith, trusting Him to take care of you all along the way.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive strength to go forward and make progress in life.
