THE NARROW WAY DAILY DIGEST
DATE:
Thursday, July 16, 2020.
THEME:
Occupy Till I Come. IV.
MEMORY VERSE:
“But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.”
Luke 19:27.
TODAY’S TEXT:
Luke 19:20-21.
“And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we discussed about being passionate and diligence in the service committed into our hands. And that as Christian, you should not be disturbed by those, who are more successful than you do in God’s service or be discourage by those who fold their arms doing nothing. Rather, you should endeavor to do your best on daily basis and great shall your reward be before God.
Sadly, a particular servant came up for his own report, and instead of results, he was full of complain, argument and bitterness. He could not appreciate the privilege given him to occupy and reign in his master’s stead. We most times, forget that our gifts are currency deposited in us, for heavenly profitable gains.
In the same vein, many of us often act like this slothful and ungrateful servant. We allowed the pressure of work to do, people’s opinions and anger to blindfold our vision and we failed to see into what the future has to unfold for us. Through which many, became the enemy of their own destiny.
Finally, do something for the Lord today and no matter how little is the result, it is better than doing nothing. And our memory verse, speak of what will be the reward of the unjust servants: *”…bring hither, and slay them before me.”* What a pity! Instead of reigning over city(ies), that which they had will be withdrawn and damnation will be their reward. May you not be damned at the end of time in Jesus name. Amen.
God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.
DAILY CONFESSION:
I receive grace to serve God diligently and not to be slothful in service.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, you are a good God and by grace, You have deposited virtues into my bosom. Help me Lord, not to be slothful in Your service and give me grace to be profitable in all that I do in Jesus name. Amen.
Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
