SUBJECT: THE INEVITABLE JUDGEMENT!

Memory verse: "So then each of us shall give account of himself to God." (Romans 14 vs 12.)

READ: Second Corinthians 5 vs 10; Romans 2 vs 5 - 11:

For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

Romans 2:5: But in accordance with your hardness and your impertinent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgement of God, 

2:6: who will render to each one according to his deeds": 

2:7: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; 

2:8: but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness-- indignation and wrath, 

2:9: tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

2:10: but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good to the Jews first and also to the Greek.

2:11: For there is no partiality with God.

INTIMATION:

At the end of our lives here on earth we will all stand before God, and He is going to evaluate us on how well we served here on earth with our lives. While eternal life is a free gift given on the basis of God's grace, each of us will still be judged by Christ. This judgement will reward us for how we have lived. 

God's gracious gift of salvation does not free us from the requirement for faithful obedience. We are not saved by good deeds, but when we commit our lives fully to God, we want to please Him and do His Will. As such, our good deeds are a grateful response to what God has done, not a prerequisite to earning His favor.

The purpose of Jesus’ first mission on earth was not to judge people, but to show them the way to find salvation and eternal life. When He comes again, one of His main purposes will be to judge people for how they lived on earth. Christ’s words which we would not accept and obey will condemn us. On the day of judgement, those who accepted Jesus and lived His way will be raised to eternal life, and those who rejected Jesus and lived any way they pleased will face eternal punishment. 

Jesus Christ has been given all power by the Father, including the power and authority to judge all the earth. Although His judgement is already working in our lives, there is a future, final judgement when Christ returns, and everyone’s life will be reviewed and evaluated. This will not be confined to unbelievers; Christians too, will face judgement. Their eternal destiny is secure, but Jesus will look at how they handled gifts, opportunities, and responsibilities in order to determine their heavenly rewards. At the time of judgement. God will deliver the righteous and condemn the wicked (the unbelievers). 

At judgement, the “books” will be opened. The “Book of Life” will also be opened, and it contains the names of those who have put their trust in Christ to save them. The “books” contain the recorded deeds of everyone, good or evil. Everyone’s life will be reviewed and evaluated. 

No one is saved by deeds, but deeds are seen as clear evidence of a person’s actual relationship with God. His gracious gift of salvation does not free us from the requirement of faithful obedience and service. Each of us must serve Christ in the best way we know and live each day knowing that the “books” will one day be opened. 

Think about the implication of giving account of our stewardship. One day God will compare how much time and energy we spent on ourselves compared with what we invested in serving others and His interest. The evaluation comes with attendant reward. The Bible tells us in Revelation 22 vs 12, "And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work." 

At the point of judgement, all excuses for self-centeredness will sound hollow: "I was too busy" or "I had my own goals" or "I was preoccupied with working, attending to my needs, or had a tight schedule, and could hardly find time." To all excuses God will likely respond this way, 'Sorry, wrong answer. I created, saved, and called you, and commanded you to live a life of service. What part did you play or did you not understand?'

Although God does not usually punish us immediately for sin, His eventual judgement is certain. We don't know exactly when it will happen, but we know that no one will escape that final encounter with the Creator. God will pour out His anger and wrath on those who lived for themselves. But for Christians, though they will be saved, it will mean a loss of eternal rewards.

Prayer: Abba Father, give me the grace to lead a life of service; serving You, others, and the interest of Your kingdom, worthy of Your eternal reward, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

Glorify God in Your Body

 Glorify God in Your Body

You were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. (1 Corinthians 6:20)

“Worship” is the term we use to cover all the acts of the heart and mind and body that intentionally express the infinite worth of God. This is what we were created for. It might be singing in church. It might be sweeping the kitchen floor.

Don’t just think about worship services when you think about worship. That is a huge limitation which is not in the Bible. All of life is supposed to be worship.

Take breakfast, for example, or midmorning snacks. First Corinthians 10:31 says, “Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” Now eating and drinking are about as basic as you can get. What could be more real or more ordinarily human than eating and drinking? And Paul says, in effect, let all your eating and drinking be worship.

Or take sex. Paul says the alternative to fornication is worship.

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. (1 Corinthians 6:18–20)

That is, worship with your body by the way you handle your sexuality.

Or take death for a final example. We will experience death in our bodies. In fact, it will be the last act of the body on this earth. The body bids farewell. How shall we worship in that last act of the body? We see the answer in Philippians 1:20–21. Paul says that his hope is that Christ would be magnified — worshiped, shown to be worthy — in his body by death. Then he adds, “For to me . . . to die is gain.” We express the infinite worth of Christ in dying by counting death as gain.

You have a body. But it is not yours. “You were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” 

You are always in a temple. Always worship.

SUBJECT: OBEDIENCE PRECEDES BLESSING AND MIRACLE!

Memory verse: “If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.” (Job 36 vs 11.)

READ: Deuteronomy 28 vs 1 - 6:

28:1: “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you this day, that the LORD your God will set you on high above all nations of the earth.

28:2: And all these blessings shall come upon you, and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God:

28:3: “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.

28:4: “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground, and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

28:5: “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

28:6: “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

INTIMATION:

Being obedient is submission to authority; to comply with orders—the practice of doing what one is told, and willingness to obey commands. Obedience is a demand on us from God. Not being obedient is, in my considered opinion, rebellion and stubbornness to God. Rebellion and stubbornness are serious sins. They involve far more than being independent and strong-minded. Scriptures equate them with divination (witchcraft) and idolatry (First Samuel 15 vs 23). Rebellion against God is perhaps the most serious sin of all because as long as a person rebels, he or she closes the door of forgiveness and restoration with God.

The Bible is filled with God's general guidelines and expectations for our lives. It is also filled with more specific directions. Like heroes in obedience, we must obey regardless of the cost, and trust God to make things right. Obedience often precedes the miraculous and blessings of God. Miracles seem out of reach for our feeble faith, but every miracle, large or small, begins with an act of obedience. We may not see the solution until we take the first step of obedience according to our faith.

In Genesis 12, Abraham obeyed God while he had a choice to make—either setting out with his family and belongings to an unknown destination, or staying right where he was. He had to decide between the security and comfort of what he already had and the uncertainty of traveling under God's direction with only God's promise to guide and bless him. 

Abraham could hardly have been expected to visualize how much of the future was resting on his decision of whether to go or stay, but his obedience brought blessings to him, and affected the history of the world. The Scripture says, “And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.” (Genesis 24 vs 1.)

Obeying God helps us accomplish more in life. For instance, Abraham’s obedience set in motion the development of the nation Israel that God would eventually use as His own, and subsequently bless mankind through it. When Jesus Christ came to earth, God's promise was fulfilled; through Abraham the entire world is blessed (Romans 4). 

In Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers in the Bible, the travail of the children of Israel presents a striking contrast between how much we can accomplish when we obey God, and how little we can accomplish when we don't. Like the Israelites, when we complain, grumble, and disobey God, soon problems erupt. 

In First Kings 17 vs 13 - 16, the widow of Zarephath obeyed the instruction of Elijah even while she thought that she was preparing her last meal for herself and her son. But that simple act of obedience produced a miracle: She trusted Elijah and gave all she had to eat with her son to him. The Bible recorded that Elijah, the widow, and her household ate for many days and the bin of floor was not used up, nor the jar of oil ran dry. Also, the miracle of raising the widow’s dead child followed. God provision of healing was demonstrated in the life of the widow's son all because of her obedience. 

Obedience draws its strength from humility. In Second Kings 5 vs 9 - 15, Naaman, a great and honorable hero, a commander of the army of the King of Syria, and a mighty man of valor, and was used to getting respect, but was a leper. He humbled himself and adhered to the advice of a young girl, a captive from Syria, who was in his house. 

Then when Naaman came to Elisha, he was outraged when the prophet treated him like an ordinary person. A proud man, he expected royal a treatment. Naaman thought that to wash in small and dirty river Jordan was beneath a man of his position in society. However, Naaman listened to his servants, humbled himself and obeyed the instruction of Elisha in order to be healed.

Obedience to God is key to success in our endeavors. Contrary to the world's criteria of determining prosperity and success, God, in Joshua 1 vs 6 - 8, taught Joshua that to succeed and be prosperous, he must obey the rules of living found in God's law. For many, success is controlling others, but for Joshua it meant being controlled by God. Often we can't see what the future holds by following God, but even in the uncertainty, obey what God has revealed in the Scriptures as the only sure step we can take to good success in life. 

Our obedience must be anchored on the fact that God's ways are better than our own, and are the best ever. We may not always understand His ways of working, but by humbly obeying, we will receive His blessings. He wants our obedience more than anything else, and can use anything to accomplish His purposes.

Prayer: Abba Father, endue me with the spirit of raw obedience to You, my desire is for You to be first in my life, and that I will accomplish all in my life through Your leading. I pray for Your grace to lead me this path, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

We Live by Faith

 We Live by Faith

The life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)

Faith is a perfect fit with God’s future grace. It corresponds to the freedom and all-sufficiency of grace. And it calls attention to the glorious trustworthiness of God. 

One of the important implications of this conclusion is that the faith that justifies and the faith that sanctifies are not two different kinds of faith. “Sanctify” simply means to make holy or to transform into Christlikeness. It is all by grace. 

Therefore, it must also be through faith. For faith is the act of the soul that connects with grace, and receives it, and channels it as the power of obedience, and guards grace from being nullified through human boasting. 

Paul makes this connection between faith and sanctification explicit in Galatians 2:20 (“I live by faith”). Sanctification is by the Spirit and by faith. Which is another way of saying that it is by grace and by faith. The Spirit is “the Spirit of grace” (Hebrews 10:29). God’s way of making us holy is by the Spirit; but the Spirit works through faith in the gospel. 

The simple reason why the faith that justifies is also the faith that sanctifies is that both justification and sanctification are the work of sovereign grace. And it’s faith that corresponds to grace. Justification and sanctification are not the same kind of work (justification is the imputation of righteousness; sanctification is the impartation of righteousness), but they are both works of grace. Sanctification and justification are “grace upon grace” (John 1:16). 

The human corollary of God’s free grace is faith. If both justification and sanctification are works of grace, it is natural that they would both be by faith.

SUBJECT : HOW WILL YOU COME FORTH WHEN TESTED?

Memory verse: "But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold." (Job 23 vs 10.) 

READ: Job 23 vs 1 - 10:

23:1: Then Job answered and said;

23:2: "Even today my complaint bitter; my hand is listless because of my groaning.

23:3: Oh, that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come to His seat!

23:4: I would present my case before Him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

23:5: I would know the words which He would answer me, and understand what He would say to me.

23:6: Would He contend with me in His great power? No! But He would take note of me.

23:7: There the upright could reason with Him, and I would be delivered forever from my Judge.

23:8: “Look, I go forward, but He is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive Him.

23:9: when He works on the left hand, I cannot behold Him, when He turns to the right hand, I cannot see Him.

23:10: But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.

INTIMATION:

Life is a race (we all have our finishing lines and destinations), a trust (entrusted to us by the Owner for our use here on earth; our time, energy, intelligence, opportunities, relationships, and resources are gifts from God that He has entrusted to our care and management), a test (the Owner has given the guidelines regarding our sojourn here, and will test us in line with the required conducts as He has given. Our character, faith, obedience, love, integrity, and loyalty will be evaluated), and a temporary assignment (it is transient; this place is not our home, we are just passing through). 

Against the backdrop enumerated above, when God evaluates you, how will you come forth? Can you answer with certainty as Job did; "When He has tested me I shall come forth as gold?" God never promised a Christian life void of tests, trials, temptations, struggles, hardship, and so on. But He promised to be with us even in those storms of life. All of life’s circumstances we pass through are for His purposes, plans and grand designs for each and every one of us. 

 

When you understand that life is a test, you realize that nothing is insignificant or trivial in your life. Even the smallest incident has significance for your character development. Every day is an important day, and every second is a growth opportunity to deepen your character, to demonstrate love, and to depend on God.

All of life is a test. We are always being tested. God constantly watches our response to people, problems, success, conflict, illness, disappointment, event, weather, and every circumstance in life. God is interested in our simple attitudinal actions like how we smile to others, open a door for others, reacts to filths in our environment and so on. 

We don't know all the tests God will give, but we can predict some of them based on the Bible dictates. We know obviously from the Scriptures that we will be tested by delayed promises, major changes, impossible problems, unanswered prayers, undeserved criticism, senseless tragedies, and so on. 

Some tests seem overwhelming, while others we don't even notice, but all of them have eternal implications. The good news is that God wants us to pass the tests of life, therefore, He never allows the tests we face to be greater than the grace He gives us to handle them (First Corinthians 10 vs 13). 

He works behind the scene for our good (Romans 8 vs 28). God tests our character to reveal our weaknesses, and to prepare us for more responsibilities. The very most important test is how we act when we can't feel God's presence in our life. Sometimes God intentionally draws back, and we don't sense His closeness. 

Every time we pass through test, God notices and makes plans to reward us in eternity (James 1 vs 12). The worst temptation we will ever face is being tempted to abandon Christ. That is the only sin that cannot be forgiven. If you have come into the household of God through Christ, rest assured no temptation can overwhelm you because Christ promises that He will be with us forever in accordance with the Father’s Will (Matthew 28 vs 20; John 6 vs 37 - 40).

Job faced the testing of the Lord. He was amazed at his suffering, and said that his suffering would be more bearable if only he knew why it was happening. If there were sins for which he could repent, he would! Job wavered back and forth, first proclaiming loyalty to God and then complaining at being abandoned by Him. His friends’ words and his own suspicions undermined his confidence in God. His friends condemned him by identifying some secret sin that he may have committed. 

His overriding desire was for God to clear his name, prove his righteousness, and explain why he was chosen to receive all the calamities. At some point Job was saying that God appeared to be avoiding him. Thereafter, he expressed confidence in his integrity and God’s justice, and that God knew every detail about his situation and would come to his rescue. And he said, "But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold." (Job 23 vs 10.) 

We are always likely to have hidden sins in our lives, sins we don’t even know about because God’s standards are so high, and our performance is so imperfect. If we are true believers, however, all our sins are forgiven because of what Christ did on the cross on our behalf (Romans 5 vs 1; 8 vs 1). The Bible also teaches that even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings (First John 3 vs 20). His forgiveness and cleansing are sufficient, they overrule our nagging doubts. The Holy Spirit in us is our proof that we are forgiven in God’s eyes even though we may feel guilty. If we, like Job, are truly seeking God, we can stand up to others’ accusations as well as our own nagging doubts. If God has forgiven and accepted us, we are forgiven indeed.

When afflictions come, it is natural to look God's way, and to think our suffering must be a divine punishment. But we must not assume that God has rejected us. His purposes go deeper than our ability to grasp all that is really happening. While this sounds like a pat answer, it is the same answer God gave Job in chapters 38 - 42. We should not demand to know why certain calamities befall us. Often we cannot or are not meant to know. 

Job’s suffering is a testimony of how God works with His saints. Suffering, therefore, draws faith out of God’s people. And faith must grow to the point of being able to count it all joy when one is suffering (James 1 vs 2 - 4). Those who trust in God undergo tests and trials. They do not always understand why they suffer, but they must understand that God is there through their suffering, and they will receive their rewards if they endure to the end, and are approved by God (James 1 vs 12). Job concluded that whether or not he could find God, God knew where he was. Knowing that God knows our calamity reassures us that He is working all things in our case for our ultimate good. Job, however, was confident that when God had tried him, he would come forth as pure or refined gold. 

Prayer: Abba Father, You are 'All-wise,' 'All knowing' and perfect! For I know the testing of my faith is for my good and profiting. Give me the grace to excel in all life’s texts, and trials, and strengthen me to persevere in all life's circumstances, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed. Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

All Hostile to God

 All Hostile to God

And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death. (Colossians 1:21–22)

The best news in all the world is that our alienation from God is ended and we are reconciled to the Judge of the universe. God is no longer against us, but for us. Having omnipotent love on our side mightily steels the soul. Life becomes utterly free and daring when the strongest being in the universe is for you.

But Paul’s message of salvation is not good news to those who reject the diagnosis in Colossians 1:21. He says, you “were alienated and hostile in mind.” 

How many people do you know who say, “Apart from God’s grace, I am hostile to God in my mind”? People seldom say, “I hate God.” So, what does Paul mean that people are “hostile in mind” to God before they were reconciled by the blood of Christ? 

I think he means that the hostility is really there toward the true God, but people do not allow themselves to think about the true God. They imagine God to be the way they would like him to be, which seldom includes any possibility that they might be in really serious trouble with him.

But concerning the God who really exists — a God who is sovereign over all things, including sickness and calamity — we were all hostile to him, Paul says. Deep down, we hated his absolute power and authority. 

That any of us is saved is owing to the wonderful truth that the death of Christ obtained the grace by which God conquered our hearts and caused us to love the One we once hated. 

Many are still learning not to be hostile to God. It is a good thing that he is gloriously patient.
