GOD'S RESPONSE TO THE INVENTIONS OF SIN (DAY 151 OF 365)

GOD'S RESPONSE TO THE INVENTIONS OF SIN
(Nuggets from Psalm 106:29)

INVENTIONS in this context are NEW WAYS OF COMMITTING SIN. 
The children of Israel disobeyed God countless times and one of such was the occasion where they committed whoredom with the daughters of Moab in Shittim. 

God commanded Moses to take all the heads of the people of Israel and execute them so that the fierce anger of God may be turned from Israel. Moses told the judges to slay all those who joined in the worship of Baal which was in the form of sexual immortality through which the people of Israel were seduced. 
This was the moment Phinehas the son of Eleazar thrusted Zimri the Israelite, and Cozbi the midianite woman, just to make sure that the plague God had intended to release upon the children of Israel wouldn't be extreme, but even at that, this stubborness caused the death of 24,000 Israelites, the plague was a serious one.

The sad truth is that the women of Midian were employed by their rulers on the advice of Balaam in a deliberate plot to entangle the Israelites in heathen sins which would alienate them from the favour of God. While the Lord greatly punished Israel for their sins, He also took vengeance on those who enticed them into the evil inventions (Balaam precisely), and he, Balaam was also killed by the children of Israel (Joshua 13:22), due to his rebellion against God; his love for money led him to a disastrous end.

Trafficking with evil spirits through idolatrous practices, mingling with immoral people from other nations and worshiping their gods was such a disdainful act and showed how obstinate the nation Israel was, forgetting that GOD IS JEALOUS and wouldn't want such.

Today, there are various ways through which so-called Christians mingle with strange gods and idols: their addictions, habits, diverse lusts, immoral acts, all showing that they do not regard God.

Advancement in Technology has also led to inventions in sin. Things that were not possible centuries or decades ago are now possible through the aid of technology, and even believers are caught in the web, involving themselves in things that God hates and not seeing anything wrong in them.

As God responded to the stubbornness of the children of Israel with Plagues, He will not spare anyone who indulges in sinful Inventions in this dispensation.

God wants all those who call upon His name to DEPART FROM INIQUITY, and those who are still living in sin to REPENT and come to the knowledge of the truth, not just because you want to avoid plagues, but because you honor God and fear Him.

DIVIDENDS OF THE CROSS (DAY 150 OF 365)

DIVIDENDS OF THE CROSS
(Nuggets from John 12:32)

Our Lord Jesus Christ in today's scripture was referring to His death on the cross at Calvary. He was LIFTED UP on the cross, and this was the origin of SALVATION for all of mankind. 

It was an assurance He gave, that if He eventually gets CRUCIFIED on the cross, SALVATION would become inevitable because He would draw all men to Himself. 

In the words of Jesus Christ, we can see clearly that the ATTRACTION of men which was made possible by the cross is the mightiest and most sovereign motive ever brought to bear on the human will, and because this reality is wielded by the Holy Spirit as a revelation of the matchless Love of God, it has ended up as the most sweeping judicial sentence that has ever and will ever be pronounced join the prince of this world - Lucifer. 

He thought he would truncate God's plan by using Judas to betray our Lord Jesus which would lead to his eventual crucifixion, but he never knew that was his greatest undoing. 

Today, this offer of SALVATION is still available to all men. Souls are being saved across the globe, and God is still very much interested in depopulating the kingdom of satan and populating Heaven instead. 

You and I are the vessels He wants to use to harvest these souls, hence the need for EVANGELISM. God expects us to go out there into the FIELD OF SOULS with our sickle for this imminent great harvest of souls, because truly speaking, THE HARVEST IS PLENTEOUS, BUT THE LABORERS ARE FEW. 

ARE YOU AMONG THE FEW LABORERS GOD IS COUNTING ON? 

WOULD YOU NOT LET GOD USE YOU TO POINT THESE DYING SOULS TO THE CROSS OF CALVARY AND DRAW THEM TO JESUS?

THEY WHO KNOW THE LORD CANNOT BE ASHAMED (DAY 149 OF 365)

THEY WHO KNOW THE LORD CANNOT BE ASHAMED
(Nuggets from Romans 10:11)

SALVATION is REACHABLE and OPEN TO ALL. Every human being on earth has equal opportunities for salvation. God is not selective with the offer of salvation; He made it readily accessible to all and by all, and that is the reason behind John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him would not perish but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 

This shows you the GOD KIND OF LOVE, immeasurable and matchless, it doesn't matter how your dirty past has been or how offensive your sins have been to God, all He's saying is BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST and you will not just live but will also never be put to shame. 

So many Christians are considering throwing in the towel because they feel they have nothing to gain by following Christ and that they are losing a lot by following Christ, unfortunately, they do not know that the reverse is the case. 

Your relationship with Christ is GAIN for you, and your disconnection from Christ is a FATAL LOSS. You have a lot to gain by following Jesus and you have nothing to lose by being a child of God. 

Our society has brazenly resisted pledging allegiance to Jesus Christ and refused to follow His ways, but you must beg to differ. The more our culture turns its back on Jesus, the more important it is for us to take a clear, uncompromising, and determined stand that we are His followers and that we proudly bear His name.

Our Lord Jesus said in Matthew 10:32-33: 
"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." 

Many Christians are denying Christ by their actions, inactions, compromise and indulgence in this world, but God's desire is that his children should be true ambassadors of the kingdom in this world.

All those who are proud of Jesus and identify with him here on earth will be recognized and celebrated by Him in the presence of God the Father at the end of time.

BE A TRUE SOLDIER OF JESUS, STAND UP FOR THE CROSS.

THE BRAZEN SERPENT AND THE CROSS (DAY 148 OF 365)

THE BRAZEN SERPENT AND THE CROSS
(Nuggets from John 3:14)

God instructed Moses in Numbers 21:5-9 to make a fiery serpent and set it upon a pole, but what is the significance of the serpent? 
The serpent is the same old Lucifer who tricked Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. 

The BRAZEN SERPENT in our context represents SIN and SATAN, which was the primary reason for the CROSS, and the pole was a type of the CROSS. God was trying to show Moses what would happen to mankind centuries ahead, how that Jesus Christ His only begotten son would come into this world to undo what the serpent had done to humanity. 

As God instructed Moses to make the serpent with brass and set it upon a pole, any of the Israelites (who were bitten by the fiery serpents that God sent to bite them) who looks at it would live, same way God sent His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him would not perish but have everlasting life.

The serpent was not an allegory or a type of Christ, but the message here is that God used the symbol of the serpent in the wilderness to make an open show of satan and the sun he introduced, and that whatever he represents will be undone by Jesus Christ the only begotten son by His death on the cross of Calvary.

It was the lifting up of the son of man on the cross that could defeat satan and sin once and for all, and this is the victory we now enjoy in Christ. 

Any tool, animate or inanimate can be an instrument in the hands of God, and He equally uses any mechanism to achieve His purpose. 

When satan deceived Adam and Eve in the garden, he thought he had won forever, but little did he know that God who knows the end from the beginning had a PERFECT PLAN FOR THE REDEMPTION OF MANKIND. 

BEHOLD JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY; LOOK TO HIM NOW AND LIVE.
