WORD DIARY: MONDAY NOVEMBER 28, 2022

 

#Divine directives!..

Ex 29:17-18 Cut the ram into pieces and wash the internal organs and the legs, putting them with the head and the other pieces. Then burn the entire ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord, a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord.

#Sacrifice to God!

Ex 29:19-20 “Take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. Slaughter it, take some of its blood and put it on the lobes of the right ears of Aaron and his sons, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then splash blood against the sides of the altar.

#Divine directives! 

Ex 29:21 And take some blood from the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments and on his sons and their garments. Then he and his sons and their garments will be consecrated.

#Be sanctified!

Gen 19:14  So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the Lord is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.

Let us pray: Father God, may we hear and obey you in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Do you sacrifice to God?

2. Do you obey the instructions of God?

WORD DIARY: SUNDAY NOVEMBER 27, 2022

 

#Mercy of God!...

Ex 29:12-13 Take some of the bull’s blood and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour out the rest of it at the base of the altar. Then take all the fat on the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar.

#Divine directions!

Ex 29:14  But burn the bull’s flesh and its hide and its intestines outside the camp. It is a sin offering.

#Mercy of God!

Ex 29:15-16  “Take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. Slaughter it and take the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar.

#Sacrificial atonement!

Gen 19:12-13 The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.”

Let us pray: Father God, thank you for saving us in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Do you know Jesus made the ultimate atonement for our sins?

2. How has this atonement impacted your relationship with God?

Postscript

Ecclesiastes 7:29 This only have I found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes.

God, more than earthly manufacturers, created a perfect mankind; and like every manufacturer, He gave the Bible as the manual. As we brush our teeth and eat every day, so much do we need to look into that manual for daily living and thereby prevent a malfunction inherent in seeking our many devices.

These verses and the accompanying nuggets are meant to start you out every day. But you need a personal relationship with God and the Lord Jesus Christ. It will help to contact a Bible believing church near you.

ACCELERATE; OVERTAKE!... PART 4 – CONCLUSION

 

 

The eleventh month reminds one of the phrase, the eleventh hour – which has its Biblical origin in the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (Mat 20:1-16). In the parable, a few last-minute workers, hired long after the others, are paid the same wage. Though they were brought on the job after eleven hours of hard vineyard work, they weren't too late.

Jesus’ story makes little economic sense, which was his point exactly. He is giving a parable about grace (in this case to enter the Kingdom of Heaven), and you can’t calculate the grace of God like you can a day’s wages. We receive it as a gift from God, not as something we work hard to earn. This does not of course mean we would not work. 

As the year is gradually wrapping up, it is easy to worry about what you have or have not achieved. But look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Heb 12:1-2). You may not see the wind or rain, but the valley shall be filled with water (2Kin 3:17-18). There is even an advanced instruction to dig ditches in the valley, meaning make room for blessings! God’s thoughts concerning us are good, and He will bring us to the expected end (Jer 29:11). David was not reconned with as the choice of king by his own family, but God had all of them stand until he showed up from the bush for the kingly anointing. The Nigerian football team witnessed what is known as the Miracle of Dammam, when it came back from 4-goals deficit to defeat USSR U-20 football team at the 1989 FIFA World Youth Championship in Saudi Arabia.

It may be the eleventh hour of the year, but don’t rule yourself out to accelerate and overtake. One thing that needs to be in place though, is our expectation - Prov 23:18 “For surely there is a latter end [a future and a reward], and your hope and expectation shall not be cut off” (AMP) There is also a place for prayer. The prophet Elijah gave King Ahab the good news of an abundance of rain, but he also bent down to pray. Prayer activates the grace to overtake, and indeed Elijah on foot, overran Ahab on chariot, to the gate of Jezreel (1Kin 18:46)

Our four-part series for the month of November, “Accelerate; Overtake” expounds on the enabling grace of God for a victorious Christian experience even in these challenging times. Join us this Sunday as we explore the theme and conclude the series.

God bless you.
