*REMAIN IN THE LORD*

*SCRIPTURE READING* 1 John 2
> _Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father._ *1 John 2:24*

John is the last surviving Apostle of Christ. He was there from the beginning of Jesus' ministry through to the beginning of the Church's ministry. At the time John was writing, many people were preaching all manner of messages in the name of Christ. Some even denied that Christ had lived a physical life.

The Apostle John encouraged the Christians to hold on to the original message preached by Christ and the first Apostles. He described that as the message from the beginning. John's concerns then must be our concern today.

Does the gospel continue to live in our lives? Are we continuing to live in the Son and in the Father? Is the gospel being lived out in our lives? Are we confessing Jesus Christ to be the Son of God? Do we really believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God? Are we letting Jesus Christ live His life out in us?

The Scriptures charge us with these instructions.

- *Let what you heard abide in you.* As Christians, we must remain grounded in God's Word and not allow false teachings about Jesus to sway us off our faith. To do that, we must constantly read about the life and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. We must align our beliefs with what Jesus preached and our lives with His life.

- *Abide in the Father and the Son.* We must have a relationship with the Father and with Christ. We must not replace Christ with our pastor or any other preacher. These days many have become followers of men and women of God without having a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus or the Holy Spirit.

May the Lord enable you to daily abide in Him and in His word.

*Prayer:* _Heavenly Father, draw me closer to yourself. Help me to remain true to you. In Jesus' name, *Amen.*_*LIVING WORD DEVOTIONAL*

*THE LIAR*

*SCRIPTURE READING* 1 John 2
> _Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also._ *1 John 2:22-23*

This passage is a pivotal passage for every Christian. It sets out how to know which doctrines are lies and which ones are true. The Apostle John differentiates between the message of Christ and the antichrist.

Who is a liar? That is the big question.

The liar here is not just a person who makes up stories to tell his friends. It goes way deeper than that. The liar John has in mind is the one who propagates a false message in the name of Christ. In the days of John, there were many preachers who were preaching messages that denied Christ. There are some in our day as well.

- *A liar denies that Jesus is the Christ.* The world is comfortable with Jesus being described as a prophet, moral teacher, sage, or some other noble person. However, the moment Jesus is described as the Saviour of the world, it takes offence. Any Christian message that does not affirm Christ as Saviour falls short of the truth. Any Christian message that does not uphold Christ above all else is essentially denying Him.

- *The liar denies both the Father and the Son.* The word that is translated as 'deny' means to disown something. There are Christians who disown the relationship between God the Father and God the Son. They deny that God became Man to save mankind from sin. This is far from the truth because God did come in the flesh as Jesus Christ to save humanity from sin.

The true Christian does not deny God's rule over any aspect of their lives. A true Christian defends the truth of God's word against all the lies of the enemy.

*Prayer:* _Heavenly Father, help me to discern the lies of the enemy and defend the truth in your word. In Jesus' name, *Amen!*

*YOU HAVE AN ANOINTING*

*SCRIPTURE READING* 1 John 2

> _But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things._ *1 John 2:20*

The word, 'anointing' used in this verse refers to the presence of the Holy Spirit. The phrase, 'Holy One' refers to Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit comes from the Holy One. That means the anointing cannot oppose Christ or do things that Christ would not do. This is the litmus test to discern claims from anyone as being anointed by God and representing Him. If their teaching and behaviour does not align with Christ's, their anointing is not from God.

John warned believers about falling prey to the deception of the Antichrist. He reminded them that the anointing in the believer does not come from the believer. The anointing in the believer comes from Christ.

- *The Holy Spirit is our teacher.* John ascribed a teaching role to the Holy Spirit. His work is to ensure that we are guided into God's truth. The presence of the Holy Spirit within every believer enables him or her to know the truth of the gospel. As a result, we cannot come up with any teaching whatsoever and claim it as coming from the 'anointing'. If it is truly of the Holy Spirit, it must truly be in line with what Christ taught and exemplified.

- *The Holy Spirit teaches us all things.* The Holy Spirit teaches us everything we need to know to live lives that honour Christ. His instruction to us extends to all areas of our lives, including relationships, finances and our careers. We cannot limit the Holy Spirit's instruction to matters of the spirit alone.

We must embrace the Holy Spirit's guidance in every aspect of our lives. He is willing to teach us all things. We only need to be willing to hear and follow.

May our spirits be subject to the Spirit of Christ at all times.

*Prayer:* _Heavenly Father, I receive the Holy Spirit as my teacher. Instruct me in all areas of my life. In Jesus' name, *Amen.*_

*IT'S PAYBACK TIME*

*SCRIPTURE READING* Exodus 11

> _Speak now in the hearing of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbor, articles of silver and articles of gold._ *Exodus 11:2-3*

Moses told the Jewish people that the time had come for them to collect their unpaid wages for all the work they and their ancestors had done as slaves in Egypt. For 430 years, Israel's labour had built Egypt without fair remuneration. Israel had now come to the point of their compensation.

- *Speak to the hearing of the people.* This was an instruction from God to the Hebrews. By this time, the Jews had a sense that God was going to deliver them. They had watched the progression of the plagues and felt confident that Jehovah was the Almighty God. At the beginning, the Hebrews had been unsure of the Lord and Moses, His messenger. After seeing the demonstration of God's power, they believed that their deliverance was near. It was the assurance they needed.

- *Ask from your neighbours.* The Lord instructed His people to go and make demands for silver and gold. The silver and gold represented the wealth that the Hebrews and their ancestors had created for Egypt. The Lord was now showing His people how to reclaim what they had rightfully earned.

The Jews didn't intend to return what the Egyptians gave them, for that wealth was payment for an outstanding debt that Egypt owed Israel.

There was a time of restoration for God's people. After what appeared to be years of hard work without just compensation, God turned Israel's situation around. That same God is the one we worship. He will give you just compensation for your years of faithful service.

Wherever you have been cheated and mistreated, God will bring you restoration.

*Prayer:* _Heavenly Father, you are a God of justice. Today, I request that the wages I have earned will be paid to me. In Jesus' name, Amen._
