THE NARROW WAY DAILY DIGEST

THEME:
Saying No To Ichabod.
MEMORY VERSE:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23.
TODAY’S TEXT:
1 Samuel 4:21-22.
“And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband. And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
What is Ichabod? Ichabod is the departed glory, a dead or a lost of glory. And why do you have to say no to Ichabod? It is because, the absence or the opposite of glory is Shame. Therefore, do all in your power to prevent Ichabod in your life. May you not know shame in Jesus name. Amen.
Dear friend, you will agree with me that, it is unnatural for four people to died from a family in a single day. That was the scenario or the full picture of our today’s text. For when divine covering is removed, calamity will fall upon disaster, and catastrophe will be the order of the day.
How do you prevent Ichabod? Our memory verse says; *”For all have sin, and fall short of God’s glory.”* It is by steering clear of any appearance of evil, abstain from sins, yield to divine warning or correction and genuinely return to God’s grace and mercy.
In conclusion, the scripture says in Jude 1:24, *”Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling…”* That Him is Jesus Christ, Jesus is the one to keep you from falling or from losing your glory. Beloved, call on Jesus as you run to Him today, and your glory will never departed from you.
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:
My glory will not depart from me.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, let your glory flood my body, soul, spirit and my life. Oh Lord, remove everything that can cause shame far from me and my family in Jesus name. Amen.
Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
