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.
