Psalm 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD… The Bible doctrine of separation means being separate from worldliness and error. Separation is also a separation unto the Lord, in our devotion and commitment to Him.
Colossians 2:8-10. Worldliness means the ways of the world, the ungodly culture that is sensual and dishonours God. These ungodly systems and philosophies can trap and hurt people. The serious Christian will not follow the fashions of the sinful world, but will aim to keep “unspotted from the world.” A plea to consider where we stand in terms of conduct, dress, music, thinking, and mindset.
Galatians 5:19-21. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings. The flesh nature. Let’s not follow the flesh, but be led by the Spirit…
Jeremiah 18. God is like a Potter working on His people. He has a plan and design. He uses the raw material that is you and me. We are but clay in His hands. We are the work of His hands - His craftsmanship. What is God’s purpose for our life? We are all a lump of clay that the potter is working on. God knows what He is doing. He allows a measure of suffering in our lives. He’s forming His own character in us. You can be made fit for the master’s use.
Prayer is Communication with God. How to pray. Fervent prayer. Intense prayer. Believing prayer. Prevailing prayer. Persevere in prayer. Agonising prayer. Spiritual power through prayer.
A revival in a graveyard. Ezekiel 37:1-14. Dry bones come alive… God can revive our churches, our lives. We need the Breath of God! God breathes life back into us. Freshness. The power of the Holy Spirit. The bones become an exceeding great army.
The New Age Movement is a bunch of philosophies alike to how the serpent undermines God’s Word with Eve in the Garden of Eden, questioning the Authority of the Bible, man’s Accountability to God, and our need of the Atonement. It’s a one world religion that says you are divine. People can create their own god. Humans, like all creation, are an extension of the divine oneness. Message exposes the dangers of this religious movement based on self instead of relying upon God and His truth. And it is inflitrating the church. Beware!
Follow Moses’ life… 40 years - as a prince in a palace, a shepherd in exile, and then as a deliverer of God’s people. God’s hand was on Moses’ life. God’s choosing and using of Moses was despite his attempts at excuses why he couldn’t do what God said. Moses is an example of faith, meekness, endurance, and prayer.
God’s judgment falls on Egypt. A devotion at the Lord’s Table.
There had to be a death in every home that night - either a dead lamb or a dead son. We all deserve destruction, darkness and death. But God has provided Himself a lamb – the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. The Passover reveals our great need for the Substitute, the Safety, and the Sacrifice. God brings great deliverance and victory because of Calvary.
