*FIRE FIGHTERS 🔥🚿* (II)

_Key Bible Text:_
*"Rescue the perishing; don’t hesitate to step in and help. If you say, “Hey, that’s none of my business,” will that get you off the hook? Someone is watching you closely, you know— Someone not impressed with weak excuses."* (Proverbs 24:11-12 (Message))

_Bible Insight:_
Today's text presents an often ignored reality--God will not excuse those who fail in their responsibility to rescue the perishing. It is not enough to be saved. Our salvation imposes on us the obligation to bring others to salvation. Salvation from what? Salvation from the wrath of God. 

Romans 5:9 (KJV) captures this aptly, *"Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him."* So we are delivered from the wrath to come. Of course, that's not all. But that is the chief of it all. Redemption, guarantees several "follow come" packages such as healing, wealth, peace, wisdom, etc. The one we must never fail to be aware of is that redemption guarantees that we are free from eternal damnation and perdition in hell. 

If we being truly and fully aware of this, still fail to draw other men out of this wrath of God by consistent preaching and living of the Gospel, God will not be impressed with weak excuses. The only reason we are not transported to heaven the moment we genuinely get saved, is not for us to make some cool cash and build some lovely houses, marry wives and give birth to children, and make a name! No! We are here to do the master's business. "Woe is me", said Paul, "if I preach not the Gospel". Do we deserve less, if we fail to preach the Gospel? 

MEDITATION:
*For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.* (2 Corinthians 5:10-11 (KJV)

FINANCING MISSIONS (II)

*DAILY DEW 21ST/DECEMBER/2021* *FINANCING MISSIONS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.* (Galatians 6:2, 10 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ How do we get it?  Perhaps if I were to tell you how we do NOT get it, it would help. We do not raise it by means of suppers, bazaars, concerts, rummage sales, or oyster stews. Not because I am against these methods, but because they will not work. What does a business man do when he runs across a method that will not work? He scraps it, does he not?  Now listen. I am responsible, humanly speaking, for the personal support of three hundred and fifty missionaries. Every month of my life I have to get more than $25,000, or humanly speaking, they will starve.  How many of you business men carry as heavy a responsibility? What would you do if you had to get $25...

THE WAY OF THE CROSS (II)

Image
*DAILY DEW 16TH/SEPTEMBER/2021* *THE WAY OF THE CROSS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.* (1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ *Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from both the penalty and the power of sin.* (1 Peter 2:24 New American Standard Bible) What are the benefits that accrue to us from following the cross, or carrying the cross to follow Jesus? In answering this, we need to understand that it is the death and resurrection of Jesus on the cross that gives the cross its power.  "1. Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from the penalty of sin." This is clearly the meaning of the words, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree.” By using the word “tree” rather than “cross,” Peter no doubt had in mind Deuteronomy 21:22-23, where it pre...

TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS*

Image
*DAILY DEW 24TH/DECEMBER/2021* *TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him."* (Job 13:15 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ It's an uphill task trying to understand God's plan, especially when we can't make logical sense of what we see happening to and around us. But we aren't instructed to understand His plans, but to TRUST HIM and be secure in the knowledge that He's working everything to ultimately turn out for our good.  God won't mismanage your life. Trust Him with it and be willing and quick to obey His instructions even when they don't fit into your parameter of what's logical. One of the truest form of worship we can give to God is to TRUST Him - leaning our entire existence on the unchangeability of His nature and counsels. ❤ _MEDITATION:_ *In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.* (Psalms 71:1 (KJV)) *#Chibuikem_...
