God is still in the business of using little things to confound the mighty. David, a little shepherd boy, came into divine appointment when he was sent by his father to take food to his brothers on the battle field. There, he heard the boasting of Goliath, a giant. By size and stature, David was no match for Goliath. However, God was ready to demonstrate yet another of His awesome and mysterious ways of fixing issues. David could not go in the armour of King Saul for it was too heavy for him. Rather, he went in the unseen full armour of God. He went with a simple but powerful weapon to destroy this enemy of God and His people - his sling and five stones. The giant was brought down like a mere tiny bird in the sky. What an awesome manifestation of God's power!

Beloved, let God use you also as He did David, to bring down the harassing giant and boastful enemy. Paul, the apostle, encourages believers to put on the whole armour of God (Ephesians 6:11). When you are dressed in the full armour of God, you become an arrow in the hand of God to confound His enemies, just like David was. You may be of small stature but you will be used by God to accomplish mighty things.

I'm convinced that you now fully understand the mind of God. Whatever you have or have become is made possible by God. It will be foolishness to use the same as a stumbling block between you and God. The stubborn and hard hearted who prefer to remain enemies of God, like Goliath, would be brought down in humiliation and death. Humble yourself beloved, draw near to God and He will draw closer to you. Open your heart to God and Jesus will be your guest. Not only you, but your entire household shall be candidates of divine blessings, in Jesus' name.

God honours those who acknowledge Him as God, and welcomes to His bosom as many as acknowledge their sins and are ready to repent and receive Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. He has promised not to cast them away for any reason at all (John 6:37).

God is no respecter of persons. He doesn't judge by your stature, your financial status, your age, your strength or accomplishments. Rather, He uses the base things of this world to confound the wise. Your real worth is measured by the level of your surrender to God, your Maker, through Christ Jesus. Are you born again? I celebrate your new life in Christ. Are you still swimming in the ocean of ignorance, postponing the day of salvation? Do you claim to be born again but are wallowing deep in secret sins? God knows and sees you. Today, let Him meet and dine with you as He did with Zacchaeus.

The Bible tells us about Zacchaeus, a tax collector. Although he was a rich man, yet, he was a sinner (Luke 19:2-9). Despite his physical limitation of having a short stature, he put up a strategy that many men of the same physical and spiritual condition would not think of. He chose to climb a tree that made him conspicuous enough for Jesus to see and acknowledge. Beyond climbing the tree, Zacchaeus had a heart that longed to meet the Master. Many tall, handsome men, equally rich and of exalted position would have been present on that day. However, the readiness of Zacchaeus' heart caught the attention of the Saviour. The end was a divine visitation that did not leave his life the same way. He was transformed.

Beloved, I encourage you to open your heart to Jesus today and allow Him to carry out a divine transformation in and through you. The book of Ecclesiastes 12:13 says that to fear God and keep His commandments is the whole duty of man. Make this instruction your watchword henceforth and the Lord will bless you, in Jesus' name.

5. O Lord, shine the light of Your word and expose every darkness in my life, in the name of Jesus.

6. Wherever I have put myself ahead of divine will in my life, O God, arise and deliver me, in the name of Jesus.

7. O Lord, empower me to fear You and keep Your commandments all my days, in the name of Jesus.

*TOPIC: WHY MISSIONS.*

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Nehemiah 5; Nehemiah 6; Nehemiah 7; John 1; John.

MEMORY VERSE: John 4:28-29 The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city and saith to they men, come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: Don’t stay in the boat when God is calling you to step out on the water.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: The event that will rubbish all your past sins and bring out God’s best in you, let it happen today, in the name of Jesus.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Acts 13:1-12.

PRAISE & WORSHIP

THE MESSAGE:
Missions is the act of sending people out to various parts of the world for the purpose of evangelizing and winning souls to God’s Kingdom.

Missions is part of our identity. 1 Peter 2:9 says: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvels light.” God made us a people for His own possession to tell others of His greatness and especially, the sacrifice He made to save us.

Missions is part of our faith and also because Jesus commanded it. By our faith in Christ, we have entrusted our lives to Him. Therefore, we should trust Him enough to obey His command to “go into all the world and preach the gospel” (Mark 16:15).

Missions indeed is inseparable from our faith. Proclaiming the Gospel is not just important because we are commanded to do it. God uses us to bring the good news of Jesus to those who need a Saviour. (Romans 15:20). The world needs the Good News, and as Christians, we have the Good News-Jesus. The Samaritan woman believed that Jesus was good news, too good to keep to herself (John 4:28-30).

Jesus delivered us from sin, bringing us into a relationship with God and giving us joy and peace. In a world of sin and suffering, others need this Good News also. Moreso, to whom much is given, much is expected. Jesus has saved you from sin and eternal perdition; you need to rise for the rescue of other souls who are on the fast track to hell fire. So, begin to get yourself involved in missions. When we do missions work, God works through us to bring heating and deliverance to the hurting, the hopeless, the sick, and the perishing.

Missions is spreading the praise, worship, and the blessings of God to those who are not yet worshippers. We are doing that because just like God, we want all the peoples of the earth to join in His praise, by so doing, God’s glory is increased. Missions work could be in sending, going, or giving. So, get enlisted! This is because we would be held accountable for any soul that perish in hell due to our indifference to Missions.

PRAYER POINTS

MORNING

*1. Lord, I thank You for the salvation of my soul, in the name of Jesus.*

*2. Lord, empower me to be Your instrument to depopulate the kingdom of darkness.*

*3. I surrender myself, Lord; here am I, send me, in the name of Jesus.*

All our struggles and efforts can not earn us justification except the concluded work of Jesus on the Cross.

🧧 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝔼𝕊𝕊𝔸𝔾𝔼:
Justification is one of the prime cornerstones in our redemption and the consequent conferment of sonship upon us as the Redeemed of the Lord. In the justice system of God, every sin must be judged, and the sinner punished. This was clearly stated in the instruction handed down to Adam by God in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 2:16-17, "And the LORD God commanded the man, saying. Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

Unfortunately, Adam, the first man, through the voluntary act of disobedience, violated the instruction of God and fell into the abyss of sin and its devastating consequences. The sin of Adam and its attendant punishments were automatically credited into the spiritual account of every man. Everyone born into this world came in as a sinner (Romans 5:19a). Every man was doomed for eternal perdition to satisfy the righteous demand of God's justice system.

Graciously, Jesus Christ, the Messiah, came to die for the sin of mankind. Therefore, anyone who believes in Jesus Christ and accepts Him as Lord and Saviour is cleansed from the corrosive effects of sin and accepted into the family of God as a justified child. Justification is the act whereby a person is declared guiltless and pronounced righteous and upright by God not on the person's merit but on the strength of the sacrifice of Jesus and His concluded work on the Cross at Calvary.

Having been justified and declared righteous by God, your life must therefore manifest the fruits of justification such as love for God and humanity, fear of God, integrity, brokenness, meekness, gentleness, obedience to God's word, submission to God's will, uprightness, and every other quality that is traceable to the person and the life of Jesus. Beloved, is your life manifesting the fruits of Justification?

🧧 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝔼𝕊𝕊𝔸𝔾𝔼:
In these last days, there is need for us as (believers) to understand the identity and activities of the spiritual entities called the "mixed multitudes". The mixed multitude instigated the Israelites against their God as we pointed out in the first part of this devotional yesterday. They also corrupted the the mind of the Israelites as they affected them by the insidious spirit of lust. The spirit of lust is the power of sinful longing for things which God prohibits. It is the force that makes people desire what God has condemned. Lust can degenerate to the level of bewitchment that blinds one to God's loving care and goodness, which eventually leads to falling away from God. All these happened to the Israelites according to our Fire Scripture of today.

The mixed multitudes badly influenced the Israelites to the point of looking back to Egypt and longing for their Egyptian delicacies of fish, cucumber, melons, leeks, onions and garlic. This very low attitude made them despise the Heavenly delicacy, Manna, the food of angels with which God was feeding them. Are you not surprised? What is in fish or cucumber or even onions and garlic that would make a whole nation desire returning to the land of bo***ge? They even exaggerated by saying that, "... our soul is dried away..." (v6). They wept so much like over-pampered children and the anger of God was kindled against them, and the meek Moses was displeased and also became angry. They frustrated the leader God placed over them. They were drawn away from God, forgetting His goodness, love and providence. They inevitably came under the Judgement of the loving God, and many of them were eventually destroyed.

The truth is that in the church today, there are lots of mixed multitudes who are not fully with God, neither are they persuaded of His goodness and love. They pretend to belong to God's children, but they are not. In fact, they are causing a lot of innocent ones to stumble. Beware.

*TOPIC: THE MIXED MULTITUDE.*

MEMORY VERSE: Numbers 11:4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: Looking upward constantly is the only antidote to drawing back from God.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: Your name shall not appear in the register of the mixed multitude, in the name of Jesus.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Exodus 12:31-38.

PRAISE & WORSHIP

THE MESSAGE:
The story of the great deliverance of the Israelites by the Almighty God from the house of bo***ge in Egypt is a glorious attestation to the awesome power of God to work profound wonders in the midst of His people. Through the mighty display of God’s unchallengable power against the Egyptians and their deities, the Jews were allowed to go and serve the Lord God of their fathers. Interestingly, many people who were not of Jewish ancestry, also witnessed the demonstration of the awesome power of God, and the diverse fiery judgements that came upon the Egyptians. Consequently, as the Israelites were marching out of the land of Egypt, the Bible records that “a mixed multitude went up also with them … (Exodus 12:38).

Who are these mixed multitudes? They were people of other nations who had no connection with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They were people who had no established relationship with the God of Israel. They were the people who joined themselves to the covenant people of God without accurate understanding of the principle, the practice, and the demands of the covenant. They followed God out of fear and not out of love for Him. They followed God’s train because of immediate gains, comfort, security, and provisions.

Unfortunately, after some years in the wilderness, as the people of God journeyed towards the promised land, the land flowing with milk and honey, the mixed multitude they allowed to follow them became their albatross, causing them great problems which led to stem judgement from God. The mixed multitudes instigated the Israelites against their God, the God who has demonstrated great love, care, and power towards His people.

In your Christian journey, there are different kinds of people you must never allow or encourage to accompany you in your desire and determination to seek God and travel far with Him. The mixed multitudes are parts of such people. If you allow them, they will only succeed in drawing you away from God.

🧧 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝔼𝕊𝕊𝔸𝔾𝔼:
Each of the biblical examples above highlights the serious consequences of trying to take God's glory for oneself. Whether through pride, rebellion, or self-promotion, usurping God's glory is a sin that leads to a person's downfall or outright destruction. Beloved, we are called to humble ourselves, acknowledge God's sovereignty, and direct all glory to Him alone. The Bible makes it clear in our memory verse, James 4: 6 that God opposes the proud but shows favour to the humble. Anyone who wants to be a friend of God and enjoys His favour must humble himself or herself before Him.

God frowns seriously at any act of pride and arrogance. Throughout Scripture, He makes it unequivocally clear that His glory is not to be shared with anyone. In Isaiah 42:8, He states: "I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images." This verse sets the foundation: God alone is worthy of glory. When humans attempt to take credit for what God has done, they dishonour Him and violate this divine principle. Unfortunately, many people fall into the fatal error of accepting the glory that belongs to God. Believers are called to reflect, not steal God's glory

Jesus taught His followers to let their good works point others to God, not to themselves. Matthew 5:16 says, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." The goal is always to glorify God, not ourselves. We are vessels through which His glory is revealed. Taking God's glory is not a small matter; it is rebellion. Failure to acknowledge Him robs God of the honour due to His name and attracts divine judgement.

In our devotional today, we will look at the lifestyle of the Pharisees as it concerns our topic, "The Danger of Taking God's Glory." The Pharisees were religious leaders who sought to be honoured and praised by others for their outward acts of righteousness. They loved the attention and recognition they received from men, seeking glory for themselves rather than directing it to God, which was the main reason they vehemently opposed the doctrines of our Lord Jesus.

The Pharisees were highly respected religious leaders in Israel, and their outward displays of righteousness were often for show. Jesus criticised them for their hypocrisy - performing religious duties to be seen by men, not out of genuine love for God. They loved being honoured by others, enjoying the best seats in synagogues and the praises of men. They loved the attention and recognition they received from men, seeking glory for themselves rather than directing it to God.

Our Lord, Jesus Christ, was against their desire for approval from people over God because the Pharisees were more concerned with the recognition they received than with glorifying God through their actions. Jesus rebuked them for seeking self-glory instead of humility and service. True righteousness is about serving God and others without the need for recognition. We must examine our motives. Are we doing good works for the praise of others, or are we motivated by a desire to honour God? Jesus calls us to be humble, to serve without seeking the approval of men but God's approval. And again, the Pharisees were known for their hypocrisy. They pretended to be serving God while in actual sense they were seeking personal glory. This, the Lord found quite disgusting and unbecoming of those who claim to be serving God.

From our Fire Scripture, we see that the people of Babel wanted to build a tower that reached the heavens in an attempt to make a name for themselves and avoid being scattered across the earth. They desired to satisfy their self-interest, disregarding God's original command to fill the earth and subdue it. They said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth" (Genesis 11:4).

Beloved, I want you to take note of the ambition of the builders of the Tower of Babel. Their very interest was to make a name for themselves. So, the construction of the tower was an act of pride and blatant disobedience to God in Genesis 9:1. They wanted to build a monument for their aggrandisement. God, seeing their pride and their desire to make a name for themselves rather than glorify Him, confused their languages, causing them to scatter across the earth. The tower, which was a symbol of pride and arrogance was left unfinished. The Tower of Babel was not just an architectural project; it was a manifestation of humanity's desire to challenge God. The people's ambition was not for the glory of God but for their fame and security. The scattering and confusion of language was God's way of showing that every effort to take His glory will ultimately fail. Here, we learn that when we try to make a name for ourselves apart from God, we end up scattered and confused.

These people sought to elevate themselves through human achievement rather than glorifying God. In response, God confused their language and scattered them, demonstrating that pride and self-glorification cannot thwart God's plans.

King Uzziah was a king of Judah who reigned for 52 years. His reign started well, and he was prosperous. He was successful in battles, and his kingdom grew to be very strong. However, his heart was lifted up, and he became prideful. He entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense, a task that was reserved for the priests, and when confronted by the priests, he became enraged. The Lord struck Uzziah with leprosy for his transgression, and he was forced to live in isolation for the rest of his life.

Uzziah's sin was not just his pride but his wilful disobedience to the clear command of God. The fact that he was king did not give him the right to break God's laws. His desire to act as if he could be both king and priest showed that he failed to recognise that the roles of leadership and worship were different and given by God. His story emphasises that even those in positions of power must remain humble and obedient to God's commands. Here, we leam that pride leads to rebellion, and rebellion leads to judgement. Our success should never cause us to think we can do anything apart from God's will. Being successful does not give you the right to circumvent God's stipulated order of doing things. Everyone must respect boundaries no matter their accomplishments. Uzziah's pride and unfaithfulness led to his downfall and destruction.

The primary lesson we learn from the story of Uzziah is that God is ready to embarrass, disgrace and destroy anyone who stands in His way or usurps His glory. Therefore, no matter the height you have attained spiritually and physically, do not assume the position of God because all the glory belongs to Him alone.
