POWER OF POSITIVE VALUES

KEY VERSE: “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” - (PSALM 127:1).

TEXT: PSALM 127:1-5

There was the story of a child who was given a complex jigsaw puzzle to work on. In a short time, the pieces were all put together. A visiting friend was amazed and asked, ‘How did you do that so fast?’ ‘Oh, you see, there is a picture of Jesus on the other side, and I just put that one together.’ The complexities are adjusted when the Lord Jesus is given His rightful place in the home.

The home setting is God’s initiative. He, therefore, remains the Alpha and Omega in all issues, including those concerning the home. He is the repository of wisdom for all family matters. If given the right as the Head of the family, love, joy, peace, harmony, wellness, and progress abound and flourish. The reverse is the case when God is not in control of a family. The values taught at home determine the behaviour of members of different families outside; hence, the axiom: Charity begins at home. Children are a heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.

The Holy Bible, God’s inerrant word, remains the standard for valuable guidelines on proper parenting that can transform families and society. We cannot get parenting right if its precepts are despised or neglected. People who wish to pass on godly values to their generations and add value to the larger society must adhere to biblical teachings on all aspects of life. People like Moses, Samuel, and Timothy were products of good home training. In contemporary times, we have the likes of Martin Luther King Jr., a civil rights leader who credited his father, Martin Luther King Sr., and his mother, Alberta Williams King, for instilling in him a strong sense of morality, justice and compassion.

A sage has correctly said that there is nothing more influential in a child’s life than the moral power of a quiet example. For children to take morality seriously, they must see adults who live by high moral standards. We cannot leave this significant role solely in the hands of caregivers, school tutors, or the government. There is no irredeemable situation with God; whatever your situation, trust and pray, believing there will be light at the end of the tunnel.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The home is designed to be the most important institution of learning.

PERTINENT PARENTAL PRAYER

KEY VERSE: Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood” (PSALM 144:11).

BIBLE TEXT: PSALM 144:9-12

It was Martin Luther who said that, “To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.” Parents are passionate about their children. Their prayers are often dominated by the needs and aspirations of their children. In our study today, David prayed to be delivered from strange children. On the other hand, he painted pictures of sons and daughters, using high-value metaphors in his prayers that our lives should reflect, as young people - sons like plants, and daughters like pillars.

Susanna Wesley, the mother of John Wesley, was a woman of faith dedicated to prayer. Despite having 19 children, she prioritized her spiritual life, spending 2 hours daily in Bible study, meditation and prayer. She was committed to her prayer life even in the midst of challenges. When praying she would wear her apron over her head, signalling to her children that she didn’t want disturbance. Susanna prayed for and with the children. She was a role model to them in prayer and discipleship. Pray for revival in the prayer life of Christian parents

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be a joy to You and to my parents.

CHALLENGE: Can your parents praise God for your life?

QUOTE: Susanna prayed for and with the children

DO NOT MAKE THE HOLY SPIRIT UNHAPPY

KEY VERSE: “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” (EPHESIANS 4:30)

BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4:29-32

The Holy Spirit is the third Personality in the Godhead. He is the Spirit of Truth sent by Jesus to comfort and guide the church. However, the word of God warns us that we must not make Him sad. This is to show that there are things children can do to make the Holy Spirit unhappy. Just as God can be provoked by our disobedience so also is the Holy Spirit.

This third person in the Godhead is holy, therefore He will not accommodate anything that is dirty. Some of the habits that can make the Holy Spirit unhappy include: (i)Gossips and negative talk (ii) Living in continuous sin (iii)Living in fear. Fear has torment (iv)Neglecting prayer... This disrupts communication between us and God (v) Spiritual laziness, being indifferent to the things of God (vi) Unforgiving spirit (vii) Neglecting God's word (viii) Pride and self-will.

The spirit longs to dwell with us forever. Obey Him so that you can enjoy eternal fellowship and peace with Him.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, please deliver me from every act that can annoy the Holy Spirit.

PRAISE AFTER PERILS

KEY VERSE: “The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.” - (2 Samuel 22:47).

TEXT: 2 SAMUEL 22:45-51

Not many people sufficiently know how to praise God for who He is nor do many offer thanksgiving to Him for all He does. Unknown to them, worship and thanksgiving attract further multi-dimensional blessings from God’s exalted throne of grace and mercy.

Our text today consists of the closing lines of the song of praise that David offered at the end of his life. Running through the song is the unmistakable strong undercurrent of appreciation from the lips of this fallen yet faithful king to the ever-faithful God. In putting the song together, David paraded the exploits, conquests, and victories garnered through God’s providence. Observers might see David more visibly in the larger picture but not the psalmist of Israel. He knew that it was the Lord who made him strong.

He chronicles God’s inexhaustible mercies that subdued his enemies under his footstool, kept his own people well under his leadership, gave him an upper hand over his adversaries, and delivered him from bloodthirsty Saul, mischievous Doeg, ambitious Absalom, malicious Ahitophel, insubordinate Joab and rebellious Shimei. In return for his divine deliverance, David exultantly declares, “Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name”. David’s heart had an outburst of praise and thanksgiving for the Lord, who had become his rock, fortress, deliverer, stronghold, refuge, and Saviour. Notably, David’s life, marked by numerous testimonies, was characterised by his unwavering trust in God and absolute submission to His will. As his life failed to an end, he stood tall, looked back and chronicled God’s faithfulness.

Today’s saints are not in any way different from David. Can you also allow the Lord to sit on the throne of your heart as you completely submit to Him in adversity or prosperity, in commendation or condemnation, in peace or war? Can you look back and see how the Lord has been your Saviour and deliverer from the fiendish clutches of sin, your Sanctifier who sets free from the propensity to sin, your peace and Comforter in chaotic times and amid crisis?

We must, like David, let go in joyful, exuberant praise and acknowledge His faithfulness despite our human inadequacies.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Praise to God gets to Him as a precious sweet-smelling offering.

OVERCOMING FEAR OF STARTING

KEY VERSE: And the Lord looked upon him, and said, go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee" (JUDGES 6:14)?

BIBLE TEXT: JUDGES 6:6-14

William Shakespeare says: “Our doubts are traitors. And make us lose the good we might win. By fearing to attempt.” Yes, fearing to attempt or to start doing something, such as driving a car, leading choruses in the fellowship and even answering questions in the class is common. They all first appear too hard. Fear and uncertainty were the starting points for many great accomplishments. Gideon was hiding from his foes, feeling insecure and afraid when God called him. But God looked past his concerns and referred to him as a strong and courageous man.

Similarly, fear frequently prevents young people from pursuing their goals. One may be held back by fearing inadequacy, rejection, or failure. But God reminds us now that we are not alone, just as He did when He promised Gideon His presence. Friend, learn to get rid of anxiety. Knowing that God has prepared us for every good work, we must have faith in His ability. Remember, you must start in order to be great, but you do not need to be great to get started.

PRAYER: Father, help me to overcome the fear of starting, in Jesus’ name.

CHALLENGE: What is stopping you from starting?

QUOTE: Have faith in His ability

PAUL – FROM A SINNER TO A SAINT

KEY VERSE: “But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee.” Acts 26:16

BIBLE TEXT: ACTS 23:13-19

Paul whose name was formally Saul of Tarsus was one of the greatest apostles that ever lived: it was not so at the beginning of his life journey. But he so cherished the life changing encounter he had with the Lord, that he will always retell the story at any given opportunity.

In Acts chapter 26, Paul was getting near the end of his ministry and life. He came under serious persecution immediately he became a Christian. This persecution became tougher as he grew older in age and ministry. Now he was under arrest and brought for trial before king Agrippa. Apostle Paul still continued to preach without fear. He recounted his Salvation experience with Joy. He was not ashamed of the power that transformed him from a sinner to a saint.

Are you still a sinner? Do not waste your time. The door of salvation is still wide open. Acknowledge the fact that you are a sinner. Sincerely repent and confess your sins to God. Ask Him to forgive you and cleanse your heart with the blood of Jesus. Then ask Jesus into your heart to be your personal Saviour and Lord.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, transform my life from a sinner to a saint.

A DANGEROUS MISSTEP

KEY VERSE: “Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.” - (GENESIS 34:16).

TEXT: GENESIS 34:6-17

World Report 2024 indicates that the number of people living in foreign countries has increased three-fold since 1970. This trend has been encouraged by globalisation and uneven regional development. Like Jacob and his family in today’s text, the search for greener pastures has uprooted many people, sometimes with disastrous consequences.

In the text, Jacob’s daughter, Dinah, finds herself in a foreign land. The inquisitive nature of the youth propelled her to explore the land. Sadly, she was ambushed and defiled by Shechem, the son of Hamor, a prince of the Hivites. Hamor quickly proposed a marriage alliance with Israel to redeem the situation. The offer appears attractive enough to appease Jacob: a fat dowry, an opportunity for investments and blending with a prominent Canaanite family. Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dinah, deceptively prescribed circumcision as a religious ritual to cement the marriage alliance but used it as a tool to revenge their sister’s defilement.

Many families have faced a similar dilemma as Jacob and his children today. Some spinsters and bachelors, born and raised in the church, in their desperation to settle down and raise a family, feel that it is better to marry just anyone rather than remain single for life. There are also those who, in their careless moments, have ended up with an unplanned pregnancy. They are often faced with the dilemma of following Hamor’s face-saving option or obeying God’s commandment on marriage.

However, the scriptural standard remains clear: a Christian should not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever in marriage, time and circumstances notwithstanding. Believers are peculiar people, and marrying unbelievers would erase their distinct identity. And as God warned the children of Israel under Moses, an unequal yoke can lead believers to turn from following God; thereby, provoking His anger. Believers should trust and obey God when choosing a spouse and during the entire marriage process.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Marriages not built on the Rock (Christ) suffer a fall when the wind and flood come.

PREACH THE WORD AT ALL COST

KEY VERSE: Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine" (2 Timothy 4:2)

BIBLE TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 4:1-5

In the period of Queen Mary I of England, popularly referred to as "Bloody Mary," numerous preachers were executed with burning at the stake for their refusal to give up their faith. To his fellow martyr, Hugh Latimer courageously said, "Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man; we shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out." Christians are still being denied their rights, threatened, imprisoned, tortured or executed outright in some parts of the world.

Paul's advice to Timothy is still relevant today. Whether it is convenient or not, we must preach the gospel fully. We must remain steadfast even if the world rejects or opposes the truth. Many young people are under pressure to compromise their religious beliefs, but the cost of silence is greater than the cost of speaking up. Remain faithful and share God’s Word courageously. Very soon, our Master who gave the Great Commission, “Go ye,” will come to take us to Himself. What a day of rejoicing that will be!

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to preach Your word faithfully. Amen.

CHALLENGE: Boldly stand for Christ, even when doing so is unpopular.

QUOTE: We must remain steadfast

IT IS FINISHED

KEY VERSE: “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” (JOHN 19:30)

BIBLE TEXT: JOHN 19:28-33

It is finished means it is done, it is completed or it is accomplished. Nothing else is left undone. This was the statement of Jesus Christ after His suffering, the shedding of His blood and shortly before His death on the cross for the sins of the whole world.

This statement means that the work and the sacrifice for the sins of the world is totally completed by Jesus Christ. No other sacrifice besides Christ's is needed anymore. Through the complete sacrifice of Jesus Christ, as a sinful child, you can now live a life free from sin through repentance and cleansing in Jesus' blood. If you are a saved child already, you can also freely have your heart cleansed and sanctified by the same blood of Jesus as you ask for it.

Healing, constant good health, divine protection, preservation, provision, deliverance, breakthrough and victories are all freely made available for you through the finished work of Jesus Christ. Trust in the finished work of Jesus and be a beneficiary of the blessings as you ask for it now in faith, and you will surely receive.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, please wash me in your blood and give me clean hands and a pure heart.

AN INGLORIOUS END

KEY VERSE: “And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.” - (1 SAMUEL 2:29).

TEXT: 1 SAMUEL 2:26-36

C.S. Lewis, a British writer and an Anglican lay theologian, once saw this epitaph on a tombstone: “Here lies an atheist, all dressed up but with nowhere to go.”

In today’s passage, a man of God prophesied of the inglorious deaths of Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, for acts of irreverence for God. This eventually came to pass shortly after. Hophni and Phinehas were all dressed up as priests, bearing the Ark of the Covenant on their shoulders. They summarily died in battle, with no hope of eternal life awaiting them. Eli was the chief priest over the Tabernacle, as well as a judge in Israel. His sons (Hophni and Phinehas), as children of the high priest, also joined in the holy service. These sons of Eli compelled the priest’s servants to take the meat of Israel’s sacrifices in the tabernacle by force, before burning the fat as instituted in God’s law. In addition to extortion, the sons of Eli were also guilty of sexual immorality with the women who gathered at the entrance to the tabernacle. Naturally, the Lord was very displeased with this sinful behaviour and sent a man of God to deliver a damning message to Eli. The Lord said that Eli and his house would be cut off from His favour, and that, as a sign of the truth of this prophecy, both sons would die on the same day.

Death is certain. It is a necessary end. But those who die while in active rebellion against God’s commands will face a grim eternity. These two sons of the high priest of Israel should have known better. They should have known that a holy calling cannot save an unholy man unless he repents. However, instead of amending their ways, they became so selfish and rebellious that Eli, their father, could no longer control them. Although Eli cautioned Hophni and Phinehas, he had not done everything he could to decisively correct their bad behaviour. Eli was guilty of neglecting his parental duties towards his sons because “he restrained them not”. Eli should have excluded his children from the service in the sanctuary of God altogether. This is a warning to Christian parents who indulge their children and allow them to occupy positions in the church despite their manifest misdemeanours.

God is jealous over His house. He is no respecter of persons. Though He is patient and expects the penitent to return to him, there is a limit to His patience. Those who are encouraged by delusional ideologists to resist God and disdain his word, thinking there are no consequences, should have a rethink after seeing how quickly those illusions were dispelled by the swift judgement handed down to Hophni and Phinehas.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It is a horrible venture to dare God or tempt Him.
