THE NARROW WAY DAILY DIGEST

DATE:
Tuesday, November 15, 2022.

THEME:
The Mixed Multitude. I.

MEMORY VERSE:
“And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.”
Exodus 12:38.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Exodus 12:43-45.
“And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the Passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof: But every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Life is precious and it is loaded with many wonderful things for our sake and enjoyment by the creator. But then, conditions attached to the receiving of all that God has to offer must be met. Do we always hear and follow God’s instruction for the journey ahead? Dear friend, don’t forget that obedience is better than sacrifice.

Meanwhile, obeying God is the key to a successful relationship with God. For when we journey with strangers to our belief, and who are not ready to learn, grow and be part of our God’s calling, careful we should be, it is disastrous to our growth and well-being if they journey with us in unbelief.

More so, our today’s text reminds us of the regulation regarding Passover, *”There shall no stranger eat thereof…A foreigner and hired servant shall not eat thereof.”* (Exodus 12:43-45) What God has for God’s people, must not be taken by unbelievers. For it is not to be eating in unbelief, and result in condemnation. (1 Corinthians 11:34)

In summary, our memory verse cites an example of the mixed multitude’s journey with the Israelites, either willingly or not, genuinely in faith or not, with hidden agenda or not, if not checked out, could sow discord and a fatal blow to the people. Therefore, a fraction that seemly insignificant today, can grow and become unsurmountable in a little time. Watch out for those you journey with. Shalom!

To God’s glory alone.

God bless you.
Till He returns or calls you home, do remain in the power of Jesus’ love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I shall not be slowed down. I remove that which slows down my journey with God.

PRAYER POINT:
Almighty God and Father of all grace, with You alone, I journey in glory, grace, and power. Help me Lord, to be watchful and prayerful as I journey in life in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

THEME:
Entrusted With The Good News. IV.

MEMORY VERSE:
“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ departs from iniquity.”
2 Timothy 2:19.

TODAY’S TEXT:
2 Timothy 2:15-16.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, was on knowing the good news is for everyone, especially those who are ready to listen, receive, keep and share it with others. Are you ready and willing to receive Jesus, the love of God and share Him with all men and women?
If yes, then, you must prepare yourself for what you are called to do. Therefore, to prepare for your assignment, you must never joke with daily fellowship with the Holy Ghost, holy living, prayers, fasting and meditatively study the Word of God.
The truth is that _”Preparation prevents poor performance.”_ The more reason the scripture says, *”Study to shew thyself approved unto God.”* How prepared are you? Do you daily prepare for the daily task of your calling through grace? Do you daily have fellowship with God’s Spirit, for assistance on direction and empowerment?
In summary, the Boys scouts motto says: “Be prepared.” Are you daily preparing? This is important if you want to be committed to what is entrusted to your care. Note, _”Let every one that nameth the name of Christ departs from iniquity.”_ Stay away from sin. Shalom!

God bless you.
Till He returns or calls you home, do remain in the power of Jesus love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
By grace, I will daily prepare to carry out the assignment entrusted to my care.

PRAYER POINT:
Father of all Grace, in Your mercy, grant me the grace to daily prepare for the tasks ahead of me. And may I not fail to perform my ordination before You in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
The Narrow Way Team.

THEME:
Entrusted With The Good News. III.

MEMORY VERSE:
“Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.”
Philippians 3:8.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Revelation 14:13.
“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we considered while you and I are entrusted with the good news; that’s the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For we are saved, to save others and we are healed, to heal others. We are made vessels of honour unto our God, burning for Christ glory and igniting others to burn for God.
Dear friend, indeed, after knowing why you are entrusted with the good news, it is important to know what to do with it and how to go about it. The question is, “who is the good news for? Is it for anyone special or everyone?
Nevertheless, the good news is simply available for all, but not all will be able to access it. Only those that are ready to listen, accept and keep it to the end, no matter the situation or circumstances of life they may encounter.
In summary, the Christian Good news is for everyone, man, woman, children, tongues, colours, status, class and all ages. Therefore, do your best to get it across to all that cross your path. May you receive grace in doing your part in Jesus name. Amen. Shalom!

God bless you.
Till He returns or calls you home, do remain in the power of Jesus love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
By grace, I will do my best to witness Christ Jesus, to all people that come my way.

PRAYER POINT:
Almighty God and Father of all creations, You want us all to return to You and not perish. Help me, Lord not to joke with the good news and grant me the grace to do my best in disseminating the Good news to all people that come my way in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

THEME:
Entrusted With The Good News. II.

MEMORY VERSE:
“For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.”
Ezekiel 18:32.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Habakkuk 2:13-14.
“Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity? For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we started this series by looking at what the good news is to both laypeople and Christians. We say that good news always gladdens the heart and that the real good news, is all about God’s love to humanity through Jesus Christ.
Nevertheless, have you ever wonder as a Christian why you are entrusted with the good news? Well, simply put, “when you are healed, heal others, when you are saved, save others.” For you are a vessel of honour unto God and for the salvation of the world.
More so, an adage says, _”To whom much is given, much is expected.”_ The payment for your salvation was through God’s provision in the blood of the Lamb. And you are a lamp, burning and expected to lit other lamps, as you are lit through another burning lamp.
In summary, your testimony of salvation and the blessings of salvation, should not be kept to yourself, but that others may see and experience the same through your burning for Christ. May you remain burning for God in Jesus name. Amen. Shalom!

God bless you.
Till He returns or calls you home, do remain in the power of Jesus love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
By His mercy, I am a vessel of honour, and through His grace, I will keep burning for my God.

PRAYER POINT:
Father of all grace, help me to always remember the good news entrusted in my care. Help me Lord, to remain a vessel of honour and to keep burning for you in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
The Narrow Way Team.

THEME:
Entrusted With The Good News. I.

MEMORY VERSE:
“As cold waters to a thirsty soul so is good news from a far country.”
Proverbs 25:25.

TODAY’S TEXT:
John 3:16.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
When news broke out, people will like to know what kind of news it is, You will hear, statements like; “what is the news about?” Positive or negative? Because everyone wants positive news. By the way, to an ordinary person, what is the good news? It is a piece of delightful information, full of a positive message.
However, our memory verse says, *”As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.”* The truth is that, when you receive good, you will be relieved and glad. Good news revives your spirit, soul and body. It nullifies doubt, commotion and fear, it renews hope, joy and faith to remain strong as ever.
Meanwhile, today text revealed what good news is for us as Christians and to all humans at large, irrespective of class, tongue or colour, *”For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish…”* Salvation in Christ Jesus. It is important to always remind ourselves of the everlasting love of God that we enjoy daily.
In summary, God’s love is beyond borders, it is an eternal love that draws all men to God’s throne, through mercy, followed by His blessings here on Earth and in His Heavenly Kingdom of glory and power. Shalom!

God bless you.
Till He returns or calls you home, do remain in the power of Jesus love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I receive special good new today.

PRAYER POINT:
Father Lord, You are God of all creations, and You desired that all may come to Your knowledge and grace. Help me Lord, to hold onto Your good news for my life now and always in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
The Narrow Way Team.
