SUBJECT : POVERTY IS PART OF THE CURSE OF THE LAW!

Memory verse: "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree") (Galatians 3 vs 13.)

READ: Deuteronomy 28 vs 15 - 20:

28:15: But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:

28:16: Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country.

28:17: Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

28:18: Cursed shall be the fruit of your body and the produce of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

28:19: Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.

28:20: The LORD will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken Me.

INTIMATION:

Poverty is a curse. It is part of the curse of the law. The passage we read today reveals the curse of poverty inherent in disobedience to God’s law. In the beginning God placed everything that man could use and enjoy in the Garden of Eden. His Will is for us to lack nothing, and be in abundance. God saw to it that Adam lacked no good thing. Haven created Adam in his own image and after His likeness (as we are also created) left nothing to be desired, but asked for their obedience to a single command; “Do not eat of the of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.” (Genesis 2 vs 17). Adam was the master of the kingdom given to him. God only placed Himself above Adam as his Master.

God's Will of abundance for Adam was supreme until that fatal day he committed high treason against God, haven believed the devil with his wife, Eve, and doubted God’s integrity. When Adam partook of the deadly tree, he died, not physically but spiritually. Spiritual death—the nature of Satan—overtook his once righteous spirit, and he became one with Satan. Every phase of Adam's life came under the curse of his new god, Satan. He was driven from the Garden; abundance was no longer his to enjoy. He had to toil and sweat in order to survive. His beautiful life was overrun by thorns and thistles both in the physical and in the spiritual world.

God's heart yearns for His people to be free, and in His infinite wisdom and mercy, sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, as a propitiation for our sins. He paid the supreme price for our sins, and redeemed us from the curse of the law, when He was nailed to, and hung on the cross, and shed His blood for the remission of our sins. The Scripture says, "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree") (Galatians 3 vs 13.)

The Scripture reveals that Jesus bore the curse of poverty at the same time He bore the curse of sickness (Isaiah 53 vs 4 - 5). You can believe for divine prosperity just as you believe for divine health. Both blessings already belong to you. You should refuse lack just as quickly as you refuse sickness because they both are the curse of the law, and Christ has already redeemed you from that curse. The blessing of Abraham is ours, as well as the promises of the Spirit. God’s wish is that we shall prosper in all things and be in health, just as our soul prospers (Third John 2). 

Prosperity is God's Will for us. Most of us usually look at prosperity in a different way from other things, such as divine health. There are Word principles for divine health, healing, deliverance etc., as well as divine prosperity and abundance, and they all work the same way.

But we have not been using the Word to believe for divine prosperity as we had for divine health. We usually live in the laws of prosperity (paying tithes, give offering, make kingdom investments etc.), but we don't take authority in the Word for prosperity. If you have obeyed the laws, and then refuse to take what belongs to you, you will miss it. 

We have been acting on prosperity differently from other provisions of the Word. In this way, we would allow symptoms of lack to come on us and stay there. We are willing to tolerate it, and sometimes claim is God's Will. But the word is very clear on the Will of God (Jeremiah 29 vs 11 & Third John vs 2). If you have obeyed the laws of prosperity, then take authority in the Word over it because it belongs to you.

Satan will always come to us with the thoughts of doubt and say; "There is no way you can have your needs met." "There is no way you can come out of your debts because you are poor, your salary cannot carry you through." "There is no way you can do all you ought to do, build a house, by a car, marry etc., There is just no way." Your answer to him should be "No Satan, my God is able! Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law, and the blessing of Abraham are mine in Christ Jesus." You will hang your faith completely in the Scriptures.

Confess continually the Word in Second Corinthians 9 vs 8 and personalize it; "And God is able to make all grace abound toward me; that me, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” The Amplified Version is more revealing on this verse, “:And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to me in abundance, so that I may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need, be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donations]. 

The Word says that God is able to get it to you. Don't look up to natural sources. Don't look at your job, your present position, your natural capabilities, and present financial position, but look up to God. Keep your eyes single on the Word. Trust Him in whatever your hands have found to do, He will prosper you there. You have to realize and know that He can and will work on your behalf. God is real! He is able to get things done!

Prayer: Abba Father, thank you for all you have given me in redemption. Through the grace of our Messiah, Jesus Christ; though He was rich, yet for my sake He became poor, that I through His poverty might become rich. I refuse the lies of the devil, and embrace the truth of my abundant life in Christ Jesus: Abraham blessings are mine, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

How Much God Wants to Bless You

 How Much God Wants to Bless You

“The Lord will again take delight in prospering you.” (Deuteronomy 30:9)

God does not bless us begrudgingly. There is a kind of eagerness about the beneficence of God. He does not wait for us to come to him. He seeks us out, because it is his pleasure to do us good. God is not waiting for us; he is pursuing us. That, in fact, is the literal translation of Psalm 23:6, “Surely goodness and mercy shall pursue me all the days of my life.”

God loves to show mercy. Let me say it again. God loves to show mercy. He is not hesitant or indecisive or tentative in his desires to do good to his people. His anger must be released by a stiff safety lock, but his mercy has a hair trigger. That’s what he meant when he came down on Mount Sinai and said to Moses, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love” (Exodus 34:6). It’s what he meant when he said in Jeremiah 9:24, “I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.” 

God is never irritable or edgy. His anger never has a short fuse. Instead he is infinitely energetic with absolutely unbounded and unending enthusiasm for the fulfillment of his delights.

This is hard for us to comprehend, because we have to sleep every day just to cope, not to mention thrive. Our emotions go up and down. We get bored and discouraged one day and feel hopeful and excited another. 

We are like little geysers that gurgle and sputter and pop erratically. But God is like a great Niagara Falls — you look at 186,000 tons of water crashing over the precipice every minute, and think: Surely this can’t keep going at this force year after year after year. Yet it does.

That’s the way God is about doing us good. He never grows weary of it. It never gets boring to him. The Niagara of his grace has no end.

Every day in the God's Word

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

SATURDAY JUNE 13, 2026.

SUBJECT: OUR BOAST IS ONLY IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!

Memory verse: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that is not of yourselves; it is the gift kf God," (Ephesians 2 vs 8.)

READ: Romans 3 vs 27 - 31:

3:27: Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. 

3:28: Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. 

3:29: Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes of the Gentiles also,

3:30: since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. 

3:31: Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law. 

INTIMATION:

We become Christians through God's unmerited grace, not as the result of any effort, ability, intelligent choice, or act of service on our part. However, out of gratitude for this free gift, we will seek to help and serve others with kindness, love, and gentleness, and not merely to please ourselves. While no action or work we do can help us obtain salvation, God's intention is that our salvation will result in acts of service. We are not saved merely for our own benefit but to serve Christ and build up the church--the body of Christ. 

The plan of salvation was initiated by God without any meritoriously devised good works of man or perfect keeping of the law. Because man could not live in a manner to save themselves, salvation had to be by grace in conjunction with man's faith response. God extended grace to man regardless of the sin of man. In this way, therefore, grace is a gift. It is a gift because it was not given as a payment of debt by God to those who demanded such through their meritorious keeping of law and good works. The law of works demanded that man live flawlessly in order to gain his acquittal from sin. 

The condition upon which the grace of God is made effective for the salvation of man is that one must receive or accept the free gift. For this reason, the effect of God's grace in reference to the salvation of man must be conditioned on the response of man. If grace was without condition toward all men, then all men would thus be saved without having to respond. All humanity would thus be saved while living after the course of this world. Therefore, the application of grace in one's life must be based on some condition. The condition is obedient faith, and thus we are saved by grace through obedience of faith. Our obedient faith is our response to the grace of God. 

God's grace is not subsidized by our works, it is not perfected or completed by our works. Works are the response to grace. Christians work, not in order to be saved, but because they are saved. Therefore, we only boast in the Lord Jesus Christ who made the availability of the grace to man through the cross. 

When someone gives you a gift, do you say, "That's very nice--now how much do I owe you?" No, the appropriate response to a gift is "Thank you." Yet how often Christians, even after they have been given the gift of salvation, feel obligated to try to work their way to God. Because our salvation and even our faith are gifts, we should respond with gratitude, praise, and joy. 

Most religions require specific duties that must be performed to make a person acceptable to a god. Christianity is unique in that no good that we do will make us right with God. No amount of human achievement or personal goodness will close the gap between God's moral perfection and our imperfect daily performance. Good deeds are important, but they will not earn us eternal life. Because of grace God initiated the cross. Therefore, no man can boast in order to claim that he earned God's grace. We are saved only by trusting in what God has done for us through Jesus Christ. 

Why does God save us by faith alone? (1) Faith eliminates the pride of human effort, because faith is not a deed that we do. (2) Faith exalts what God has done not what we do. (3) Faith admits that we can't keep the law or measure up to God's standards--we need help. (4) Faith is based on our relationship with God, not our performance for God. 

Acceptable faith responds to the actions of God to save man. Law, therefore, is not aborted by faith. The fact is that when faith responds to the work of God through the cross, the faithful seek respond to the directions of God. In this way, therefore, those who are of faith seek God's directions. 

We love because He loved us first (First John 4 vs 19). Therefore, Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments" (John 14 vs 15). In this way law is established. It is established in the hearts of those who respond by faith and love because they seek to return the love that was manifested toward them through the cross. Consequently, those who obediently respond to the grace of God, seek to obey God's directions, and thus law is established in their lives. 

Prayer: Abba Father, thank You for our privilege of election by Your grace, for Your justification of the elect, for Christ's propitiation for our sins, for our redemption in Christ. You demonstrated Your love for us on the cross. Give me the enablement to keep Your commandments in response to Your love, and give me the grace to be steadfast in following You to the end, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

Who Killed Jesus?

 Who Killed Jesus?

He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? (Romans 8:32) 

One of my friends who used to be a pastor in Illinois was preaching to a group of prisoners in a state prison during Holy Week several years ago. At one point in his message, he paused and asked the men if they knew who killed Jesus. 

Some said the soldiers did. Some said the Jews did. Some said Pilate. After there was silence, my friend said simply, “His Father killed him.” 

That’s what the first half of Romans 8:32 says: God did not spare his own Son but handed him over — to death. “This Jesus [was] delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God” (Acts 2:23). Isaiah 53 puts it even more bluntly, “We esteemed him stricken, smitten by God. . . . It was the will of the Lord to crush him; he (his Father!) has put him to grief” (Isaiah 53:4, 10).

Or as Romans 3:25 says, “God put [him] forward as a propitiation by his blood.” Just as Abraham lifted the knife over the chest of his son Isaac, but then spared his son because there was a ram in the thicket, so God the Father lifted his knife over the chest of his own Son, Jesus — but did not spare him, because he was the ram; he was the substitute.

God did not spare his own Son, because it was the only way he could spare us and still be a just and holy God. The guilt of our transgressions, the punishment of our iniquities, the curse of our sin would have brought us inescapably to the destruction of hell. But God did not spare his own Son; he gave him up to be pierced for our transgressions, and crushed for our iniquities, and crucified for our sins. 

This verse — Romans 8:32 — is the most precious verse in the Bible to me because the foundation of the all-encompassing promise of God’s future grace is that the Son of God bore in his body all my punishment and all my guilt and all my condemnation and all my blame and all my fault and all my corruption, so that I might stand before a great and holy God, forgiven, reconciled, justified, accepted, and the beneficiary of unspeakable promises of pleasure forever and ever at his right hand.

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

FRIDAY JUNE 12, 2026.

SUBJECT: WHY THE LAW WAS GIVEN!

Memory verse: "What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made, and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator." (Galatians 3 vs 19.) 

READ: Romans 7 vs 7 - 9:

7:7: What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”

7:8: But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead.

7:9: I was alive once without law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

INTIMATION: 

The ostensible aim of the law is to restrain the evil tendencies natural to man in his fallen estate. Yet in experience law finds itself not merely ineffective, it actually provokes those tendencies to greater activity. 

In the passage we read today, the apostle Paul says that he would not have known that sin existed in his life unless the law stated that his behavior was against the law. Therefore, the law “was added because of transgressions” (Galatians 3 vs 19). It made us realize that we were all sinners (Romans 3 vs 23). When men followed after the lusts of the flesh, the coming of the law exemplified the sinful behavior of the individual. 

When there was no law, one would not be aware of the intensity of the sin of his life. Where there is no law, there is no violation of law. Without the presence of the written law, one is deceived into thinking that his life is right with God. Where there is no law, there is no sin, because people cannot know that their actions are sinful unless a law forbids those actions. God’s law makes people realize that they are sinners doomed to die, yet it offers no help. Sin is real, and it is dangerous. 

Imagine a sunny day at the beach. You plunge into the surf, then you notice a sign on the pier: “No swimming, Sharks.” Your day is ruined. Is it the sign’s fault? Are you angry with the people who put it up? The law is like the sign. It is essential, and we are grateful for it—but it doesn’t get rid of the sharks.

The law still has an important role to play in the life of a Christian. The law (1) guards us from sin by giving us standards for behavior; (2) convicts us of sin, leaving us the opportunity to ask for God’s forgiveness, and (3) drives us to trust in the sufficiency of Christ, because we can never keep the "Ten Commandments" perfectly. The law cannot possibly save us. But after we become Christians, it can guide us to live as God requires. 

God gave rules to His people for some reasons. He did not withhold good from them; He only prohibited those acts that would bring them to ruin. All of us understand God’s physical laws of nature. For example, jumping off a 10-storey building means death because of the law of gravity. 

But some of us don’t understand how God’s spiritual laws work. God forbids us to do certain things because He wants to keep us from self-destruction. The next time you are drawn to a forbidden physical or emotional pleasure, remind yourself that it’s consequences might be suffering and separation from God, Who is trying to help you.

Most of us chafe under rules, for we think they restrict us from doing what we want. But God’s laws were given to free us to be all He wants us to be. They restrict us from doing what might cripple us and keep us from being our best. God’s guidelines help us follow His path and avoid paths that lead to destruction.

In the Old Testament there were three categories of law: ceremonial, civil, and moral: (1) The ceremonial law related specifically to Israel’s worship. Its primary purpose was to point forward to Jesus Christ; these laws, therefore, were no longer necessary after Jesus’ death and resurrection. While we are no longer bound by ceremonial law, the principles behind them—to worship and love a holy God—still apply.

(2)) The civil law applied to daily living in Israel. Because modern society and culture are so radically different from that time and setting, all of these guidelines cannot be followed specifically. But the principles behind the commands are timeless and should guide our conduct. Jesus demonstrated these principles by example.

(3) The moral law (such as the Ten Commandments) is the direct command from God, and it requires strict obedience. The moral law reveals the nature and Will of God, and it still applies today. Jesus obeyed the moral law completely,

The functions of God’s law is first, to show us where we go wrong. Because of the law, we know that we are helpless sinners and that we must come to Jesus Christ for mercy. Second, the moral code revealed in the law can serve to guide our actions by holding up God’s moral standards. We do not earn salvation by keeping the law (no one except Jesus ever kept or could keep God’s law perfectly), but we do please God when our life conforms to His revealed Will for us.

We miss the intent of God’s Word when we read His rules for living without trying to understand why He made them. Most people do keep God’s rules but close their eyes to His intent. For example, God’s moral and ceremonial laws were given to help people love God with all their hearts and minds. 

Prayer: Abba Father, Your law is holy, good, and just; a great compass to direct my path in life in righteousness and moral uprightness with You. Though meritorious law-keeping cannot earn me salvation but enables me to be in constant fellowship with You after been saved by grace in Jesus Christ. Empower me in my inner man to live above those presumptuous sins that usually have dominion over me that I may lead a life pleasing to You at all times, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

Help My Unbelief

 Help My Unbelief

For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. (Romans 12:3)

In the context of this verse, Paul is concerned that people were thinking of themselves “more highly than [they] ought to think.” His final remedy for this pride is to say that not only are spiritual gifts a work of God’s free grace in our lives, but so also is the very faith with which we use those gifts. “. . . each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.”

This means that every possible ground of boasting is taken away from us. How can we boast if even the qualification for receiving gifts is also a gift?

This truth has a profound impact on how we pray. Jesus gives us the example in Luke 22:31–32. Before Peter denies him three times Jesus says to him, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” 

Jesus prays for Peter’s faith to be sustained even through the sin of denial, because he knows that God is the one who gives faith. So we should pray the way Jesus did — for ourselves and for others that God would sustain our faith. 

Thus, the man with the epileptic son cried out, “I believe; help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24). This is a good prayer. It acknowledges that without God we cannot believe as we ought to believe.

Let us pray daily, “O Lord, thank you for my faith. Sustain it. Strengthen it. Deepen it. Don’t let it fail. Make it the power of my life, so that in everything I do, you get the glory as the great Giver. Amen.”

Every day in the God's Word

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

THURSDAY JUNE 11, 2026.

SUBJECT: GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS THROUGH FAITH!

Memory verse: "For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, "The just shall live by faith." (Romans 1 vs 17.)

READ: Romans 3 vs 21 - 26:

3:21: But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 

3:22: even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all who believe. For there is no difference, 

3:23: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 

3:24: being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 

3:25: whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 

3:26: to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. 

INTIMATION:

Through the Sinai law and the prophets the promises were made by God to save mankind. And through His faithfulness the promises were accomplished. The promises were not fulfilled because of man's perfect obedience of law, but because of the grace of God to do such regardless of the sinfulness of man, and it was in the plan of God from the beginning.

All humanity, because of sin, has fallen short of that which is required for one to dwell in the presence of God. The result of law is that we are made sinners. The result of sin is separation from God. And the result of separation from God is spiritual death which eventually lead to a second death. 

The righteousness of God means essentially the same as His faithfulness, or truthfulness, which is consistent with His own nature and promises. Also, it is the justification of those who obediently respond to the grace of God that was revealed on the cross through the death of Jesus on the cross as a propitiation for our sins. 

God is just because He has revealed the means by which men can be made righteous. From the Scriptures we read today, His righteousness is exibited in the death of Christ, which is sufficient to show man that God is neither indifferent to sin nor regards it lightly. On the contrary, it demonstrats that quality of holiness in Him which must find expression in His condemnation of sin. And ensures that the right penalty of death is paid for sin as it is in His law. 

The gospel shows both how righteous God is in His plan for us to be saved and also how we may be made fit for eternal life. By trusting Christ, our relationship with God is made right. From "faith to faith" means that from the start to finish God declares us to be right with Him because of faith and faith alone. As we trust God, we are saved, we have life both now and forever. 

It was through Jesus' faithfulness to go to the cross that the righteousness of God was accomplished. Man's justification was also accomplished because of the faith of those who believed in the cross; in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross as a propitiation for our sins. Both the faithfulness of Jesus in going to the cross, and man's faith response to the cross, were necessary in order to accomplish God's eternal plan to reconcile men to Himself through Jesus. 

In Jesus' death on the cross, He was God's offering to appease His wrath that would eventually have to be poured out on sinners. In order for God to stand just in judgement of free-moral man, there had to be a choice for man to be saved from condemnation. Through the offering of the blood of Jesus, God gave that choice. 

Christ died in our place, for our sins. God is justifiably angry as sinners. They have rebelled against Him and cut themselves off from His life-giving power. But God declares Christ's death to be the appropriate, designated sacrifice for our sins. Christ then stands in our place, having paid the penalty of death for our sins, as He completely satisfies God's demands. His sacrifice brings pardon, deliverance, and freedom. 

There are two functions of God's law. First, it shows us where we go wrong. Because of the law, we know that we are helpless sinners and that we must come to Jesus Christ for mercy. Second, the moral code revealed in the law can serve to guide our actions by holding up God's moral standards. We do not earn salvation by keeping the law (no one except Christ ever kept or could keep God's law perfectly), but we do please God when our life conforms to His revealed Will for us. 

The Scriptures gave us the way to be declared not guilty--by trusting Jesus Christ to take away our sins. Trusting here means putting our confidence in Christ to forgive our sins, to make us right with God, and empower us to live the way He taught us. God's solution is available to all of us regardless of our background or past behavior. 

Therefore, we are saved by grace through faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross for our sins. The grace was freely given regardless of the spiritual condition of all humanity. It had to be freely given because man could not work in order to earn grace. Sin blocks any efforts to meritoriously earn the gift. Therefore, grace was given to take care of man's sin problem. Once justified from sin by grace, we are then reconciled again to His presence and glory. 

Some sins seem bigger than others because their obvious consequences are much more serious. Murder, for example, seems to us to be worse than hatred, and adultery seems worse than lust. But this doesn't mean that because we only commit "little" sin we deserve eternal life. All sins make us sinners, and all sins cut us off from our holy God. All sins, therefore, lead to death (because they disqualify us from living with God), regardless of how great or small they seem. Don't minimize "little" sins or overrate "big" sins. They all separate us from God, but they all can be forgiven. 

Prayer: Abba Father, thank You for our privilege of election by Your grace, for Your justification of the elect, for Christ's propitiation for our sins, for our redemption in Christ. Everlasting Father who showed us Your righteousness in keeping Your promise to save us, give me the grace to be steadfast in followiing You to the end, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
