NUMBERS 32 LESSONS: BE FIRM & PERSUASIVE


*DAILY DEW 12TH/APRIL/2021*

*NUMBERS 32 LESSONS: BE FIRM & PERSUASIVE*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"After that, you may return, because you will have fulfilled your obligation to the LORD and to the other Israelites. Then the LORD will acknowledge that this land east of the Jordan is yours. But if you do not keep your promise, I warn you that you will be sinning against the LORD. Make no mistake about it; you will be punished for your sin."* (Numbers 32:22-23 (GNB))

*_Bible Insight:_*
Moses never got tired of warning the children of Reuben & Gad. He was firm and persuasive. Even when the Children of Gad & Reuben had disclosed that they would fight for their brethren and with their brethren, he still made sure he reminded them that if they fail to do so they would have sinned against God and they would not go scot free.

In the days we find ourselves, many grow a liking to being nice and friendly with sin and sinful ways. Many people do not like to worship in churches where sin is constantly being exposed and opposed. Preachers who like to speak against unrighteousness are constantly labelled and marginalized. Gatherings where sin is hardly spoken again, and righteousness rarely expounded and emphasized are usually frequented. 

Unfortunately, God's standard has not changed one bit. Sin is still visited with death as its wages. Righteousness is still the way to be exalted and blessed by God. Salvation is still a requirement for all who must be saved. Without the Gospel and repentance the soul that sinneth shall die. In the midst of all the increase of iniquity it is important that we are firm and persuasive about the standards of God and the wages of sin. It is important we also do not shun gatherings or preachers who do not shy aware from preaching both the harsh and the lovely truth of the Gospel. 

MEDITATION:
*"The time will come when people will not listen to sound doctrine, but will follow their own desires and will collect for themselves more and more teachers who will tell them what they are itching to hear. They will turn away from listening to the truth and give their attention to legends."* (2Tim 4:3-4 (GBN))

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_...
