THEME: Don’t Be Mocked. IV.

MEMORY VERSE:
“And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.”
Matthew 18:30.

TODAY’S TEXT:
2 Kings 4:1.
“Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In the last part of this series, we considered disobedience and lust to be some of the attributes of mockery. A child of God, who disobeyed God or lust after a strange woman or forbidden items, is exposed to mockery.
Nevertheless, Proverbs 22:7 declared that: “The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.” To borrow and not able to pay back can result to mockery.
Furthermore, our today’s text present, a case of a wife of a son of prophet, whose husband was owing a creditor before he died. So pathetic that, after his death, the creditor came for the late prophet son’s to be his slaves, in order to pay back the money their father owe.
More so, our memory verse, give a similar scenario of a man, thrown into the prison, all because of his unpaid debts and callousness towards others.
Moreover, oftentimes we are in need of urgent assistance to sort out unforseen or projected expenses and we just have to borrow to meet up. And then, our concerns we be to pay up as promised. Conclusively, If you are to borrow, let it be for something worthwhile and not for pleasure. For those who go borrowing, go sorrowing. Meanwhile, Matthew 5:42 says: “Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.” Beloved, that is the level God wants you and me to operate. May you lend unto nation and not be a borrower in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will not be a beggar. I will lend to nations.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, please make me a financial pillar in my generation. And in your mercy, may I not come to poverty in Jesus name. Amen.

THEME: Don’t Be Mocked. III.

MEMORY VERSE: “But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.”
Judges 13: 7.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Judges 16:30.
“And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In the last part of this series, we observed that wisdom, knowledge and wise counsel helps to live a graceful and joyful life. And that when we say the right thing, at the right time, the righteous rejoice and the wicked are mocked.
Meanwhile, today we will be looking at disobedience and lust as bane of mockery. Our today’s memory verse list out the divine instructions concerning Samson’s destiny. It revealed things that Samson’s mother had to run away from all because of Samson’s future. Further study shows that his mother kept her own part of the bargain, but Samson thought it doesn’t matter anymore.
However, instead of Samson to heed his parents advice, he decided to disobey them by lusting after a strange woman. And Judges 16:13 says;
“And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.” Unknown to Samson that, ‘when you are in the enemies camp, your secret or strength is not save.’ Sadly, Delilah cut off the seven locks, and his strength left him.
In conclusion, Judges 16:23 stated that; “Then the lords of the Philistines…said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.” How sad! Samson was mocked by the people who normally tremble at his name, he became a puppet master, entertaining his enemies. May you not loose your glory in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
My destiny will not be cut off. And I will not be mocked by the enemies.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, please help me to keep to divine instructions. May I not make fool of myself, before my enemies in Jesus name. Amen.
