Jesus Moses and Israel of God
Memory verse: - Heb 3:6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
Bible Reading: -          Heb 3: 1: 1 – 19
Message
In our passage this morning, Paul the writer of the book was a holy apostle called by Christ himself and in his faithfulness to God he was inspired by the Holy Spirit to talk about the faithfulness of Moses in comparison to that of Christ himself who is the master over the house which is the church of God purchased by his own blood – t he present Israel of God [you and I], the believers.
The standard should be maintained if we have hope of entering into the kingdom of God. Moses, Paul and we are all given a heavenly calling which we rightly responded to in turning away from darkness onto the light of God; from unfaithfulness to faithfulness in all matters [both physical and spiritual], from evil heart of unbelief to righteousness of God; for it is counted unto us for righteousness immediately we accepted Christ as our personal Lord and saviour. The standard is that we must hold fast the confidence and rejoicing of the hope firm to the end. We must hold fast the faithfulness to the very end for God demanded it in 1Co 4:2 that “moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful” Unfaithfulness to God in any matter will close the door against you; no fornication, no adultery, falsification of records and unfaithfulness in general will not enter therein.
Faithfulness will make you value and read the word of God like Berean believers for carelessness in this area can make an evil heart of unbelief to set in so much that a person departs from the living God into idolatry, occultism and worldliness like Demas who love this present world and departed from following Christ and went back into the world. This kind of a thing provokes God and many of those he brought out from Egypt by his own mighty hand and bare them of His own eagle’s wing perished in the wilderness because of unbelief that made them err always in their hearts.
Be well persuaded as the spiritual Israel of God; let your conviction about following Christ be resolute, total, absolute, deep, rooted and unshakable. This is possible if you determine to know God yourself because it is one thing for somebody to tell you about somebody, but it is more convincing if you have personal encounter with that person. And this was why David told Solomon his son that “And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever” [1Ch 28:9]
David knew God personally and he encouraged his son Solomon to seek him and he will be found of him and if not God will not force himself on him – He will cast him off forever. Seek God, draw near to him and He [God] will draw near to you; otherwise, you become cast away forever. Beware of evil heart of unbelief, let it not have dominion over you, have a nice day.
Confession of the Day: - By the grace of God as an Israel of God, evil heart of unbelief in departing from God to idolatry and worldliness shall not be my portion in Jesus name. I am standing on Christ the rock, I shall not be moved.

Prayer Points: - keep me Lord Jesus, keep me Lord; help me to run the race to the end; toughen my spiritual muscles daily and widen my spiritual horizon every day. Deliver me from evil heart of unbelief in Jesus name [Amen].

STERLING LEADERSHIP

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...
