Revelation 9:4.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Job 8:20-22.
“Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers: Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing. They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
According to Wiktionary.org, plantation is described as a large farm; Estate or Area of land designated for Agricultural growth. Agricultural growth simply connote increase in food supply or availablity of adequate mechanism that eradicate hunger, by providing food for all, in and out of the season.
However, plantation which is meant to bring adequate food to the table of all, if not well carter for, will withered away, the purpose and the goal defeated. Invariably, as Christians, if we don’t guard our salvation with care, there is possibility of it withered away.
Nevertheless, to be green is to be alive, fresh, good and active. The more reason in our memory verse, God commanded the Angels of destruction, not to or *”should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing.”* For they are still active in their capacity.
Finally, our today’s text declared that, *”Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers.* The man and woman, who guard firmly his salvation, will be perfect before God and will never lack help from God. Therefore, keep the good work, and do not be jealous of the temporal achievement of the wicked. May you continue to enjoy divine help, now and always in Jesus name. Amen.

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

Get Thee Out Of There. II.

THE NARROW WAY DAILY DIGEST.

DATE: Tuesday, July 2, 2019.

THEME: Get Thee Out Of There. II.

MEMORY VERSE:
“And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.”
Acts 22:18.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Matthew 10:14-15.
“And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In the last part of this series, we saw God calling Abram out of his native land with his seeds yet on born, to embark on a generational journey with Him. God called him out of vices into virtues, turning him to a vessel of honour and glory. A command which Abram obeyed, and he was greatly rewarded.
Meanwhile, by extension, God still reward those that obey His commandments here on earth and in heaven.
However, our memory verse, prohibits Christians to stay long at any place, where the gospel is not welcomed. One will wonder, why such command concerning such a place that seems to need the goodnews the most. The truth is revealed in our today’s text saying: “And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words…It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.”
More so, this implies that, what Sodom and Gomorrah experienced through the wrath of God, will be a child’s play compared to their eternal punishment.
Furthermore, Romans 1:28 revealed that;
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.” And if that be the case, destruction is inevitable.
Finally, the scripture in 2Timothy 3:8, now set the record right saying thus: “…so do these also resist the *truth* : _men of corrupt minds,_ *reprobate concerning the faith.”* Therefore, it is advisable to flee from any appearance of evil, before contamination set in. May you and I, not be given to reprobate mind in Jesus name. Amen.

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

DAILY CONFESSION:
May I not over stay, where God don’t want me to stay at all.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, you are the beginning and the end. Help me Lord, to stay clear of any area that is marked for destruction in Jesus name. Amen.

“And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
From the two previous editions, we have been able to see, from the scripture through the parables of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the lost of coin (Luke 15:8-10) and that of the lost sheep (Luke 15:4-6).
However, these parables reminds us of God, as a faithful and loving father, who diligently seek for the lost, and who awaits our return through repentance. However, with a genuine heart of reunion with our source, meeting with an unexpected token of God’s forgiving love from above, makes us a better vessels.
Furthermore, the mercy and grace of God in Christ, shines brightly in the tender and gentle heart of repented sinner.
In conclusion, at a point in time, although, we stray away from our source, and were exposed to ruin and destruction, beloved, it is good to key close to God’s grace and mercy available to all. And for those that avail themselves of it’s abundance, they will forever be grateful. May you and I always find our steps back to God in Jesus name. Amen.

The Lost Sheep.

THE NARROW WAY DAILY DIGEST.

DATE: Sunday, June 23, 2019.

THEME: The Lost Sheep.

MEMORY VERSE:
“And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.”
Luke 15:6.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Luke 15:4-5.
“What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In the last edition, we observed the great value God placed on each and everyone of us in the parable of the lost coin. We saw how God meticulously seek for our return to Him in earnest, after straying away from Him.
However, our today’s text, present us with another parable told by our Lord Jesus Christ, of one sheep that got lost out of the hundred sheep, and his genuine love for the one out of hundred missing sheep; the good shepherd left the remaining ninety-nine sheep, to seek for just one missing sheep.
Furthermore, the parable of the lost sheep is very applicable to great work of man’s redemption. That the lost souls need urgent attention and care, a duty for you and me to carry out daily.
In conclusion, the lost soul, is a departed soul from God. And such soul, is exposed to certain ruin. Beloved, to go out of God’s presence is dangerous, if not brought back to God’s presence, and still not willing to return. The truth is that, Jesus Christ; the good shepherd is earnest in bringing sinner’s home. May the lost souls around us, find grace to return to the good shepherd in Jesus name. Amen.

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

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will not loose my salvation and divine security.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, give me the grace to remain in you, till the end of time. And may the good and great work of man’s redemption, not be a waste in my life in Jesus name. Amen.
