THEME: NO MORE PLUNDERERS
MEMORY VERSE:
“And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.”
Malachi 3:11.
TODAY’S TEXT:
Judges 6:3-5.
“And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them; And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass. For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
To start with, who is a PLUNDERER and what does it mean to plunder? To plunder means to take by force, or to destroy goods or properties belonging to another fellow, for no just cause. And a plunderer is one that enjoy, encourage or indulge in this vices. Another question is, why are the people of covenant plundered? One of the answer is in Judges 6:1; “And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.” When we sin against God, we do in actual fact, turn our back to God, telling HIM that we are self sufficient.
Meanwhile, our today’s text revealed the kind of punishment that can come to one, after kicking against God’s instructions.
Furthermore, the only wise God says in Proverbs 8:36
“But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.” This indicates that, when a man sins against God, he is in love with death.
In conclusion, our memory verse present to us a goodnews, when we return back to God to do HIS will. God promise to put an end to plunders in our midst, more so, our land to yield her increase. As you and I repent of our sins, seek God’s face and determine to please HIM, may we be richly blessed in Jesus name. Amen.
God bless you. Jesus is coming very soon. Be prepared.
