DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR W.F.KUMUYI THURSDAY 9TH MAY 2019.
TOPIC: HAVE YOU COUNTED THE COST?
BIBLE TEXT: Job 24:14-25
14. The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.15. The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me; and disguiseth his face.16. In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime; they know not the light.17. For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death; if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.18. He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth; he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.19. Drought and heat consume the snow waters; so doth the grave those which have sinned.20. The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.21. He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not; and doeth not good to the widow.22. He draweth also the mighty with his power; he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.23. Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.24. They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.25. And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
KEY VERSE:
“The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.” – (Job 24:20).
DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR TODAY
It is obvious to the spiritually discerning minds that contemporary societal values and norms have become so perverted and corrupted that morality to many has become relative. No wonder, the concept of right or wrong is often based on what is generally accepted. Hence, many have dug up excuses to justify their misdeeds as well as pride themselves in their waywardness. Some even go on to ask why God has not been swift to judge, if He actually knows that they are evil. Some others claim that God’s love and mercy will not allow Him to judge His own creatures by casting them to hell. These positions clearly expose their ignorance of the Scriptures that
“the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness…” (Romans 1:18).
The text simply reveals some of the acts of man’s inhumanity to man and acts of sin against God. These include sinful practices such as prostitution, murder, adultery, burglary robbery etc. Sin has no other description than being the transgression of the laws of God and it will certainly be judged.
Have you been lost in the realm of contemporary philosophy where wrong is right? Are you justifying your sins because majority are involved? Are you under the illusion that God will not judge sin because many are involved? Are you deceived by the fact that things are going smooth with you despite your acts of rebellion against God? Wait! What if God should ask you now to account for your ungodly deeds? What if God should pass His verdict on your actions now? Have you counted the cost if your soul should be lost? Repent TODAY, repent NOW!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God’s wheel of justice may move slowly, yet it is steady.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Corinthians 1-4
