Strange Fire
Memory Verse: - Lev 10:2 And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.
Bible Reading: - Lev 10: 1 – 20
Message
We are serving a sacred God who is a consuming fire; and of the purer eyes that cannot behold iniquity of any form of presumptuous sins. We have a lot lessons to learn from the presumptuous sins of Nadab and Abihu:
We must not do that which the Lord has not commanded us to do
God is sacred and must reverently be worshipped. Ecc 5:1 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
God is a consuming fire with fire that kills the presumptuous ones without burning their coats
A soul that sins shall die and be alienated from God now and in eternity if not repented from.
In troublous times, we must hold our peace and not to speak rashly against God like Aaron held his peace.
As ministers of God we must abstain from strong drinks for it seems that both of them brought the strange fire presumptuously under the influence of alcohol since that period was the time of the merriment for their ordination as God’s priests.
That the spiritually dead ones should be removed from before the altar of God who has nothing to offer than to tell stories of old women fables and genealogies that minister questions rather than edification of the body of Christ.
1Ti 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
Remember Ananias and Sapphira his wife that brought strange fire of deception and lying unto the Holy Spirit and we struck dead instantaneously; also leprosy came upon king Uzziah when he went into the sanctuary to burn incense which was not his duty to carry out and King Saul was also rejected from being King for the same offence.
By implication we should know our place when it comes to offering our services to the Lord and do all things in accordance to the order of the man God had place over us in his service and that must be done as unto the Lord in all humility and sobriety.
Confession of the Day
I will serve the Lord in the beauty of his holiness reverently without any presumption and pretention, but with utmost sincerity and faithfulness.
Prayer Points

Deliver me Oh Lord from presumptuous, predetermined, premeditated and besetting sins; let them not have dominion over me. But help me to serve you reverently and obediently.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

Image
D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved ...

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. — HEBREWS 2:14 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
