DON'T IGNORE GOD


Bible Reading: Luke 12:13-21

Text: "Why do the wicked renounce God? He has said in his heart, "You will not require an account."' (Psalm 10:13 NKJV)

COMMENTARY

Too often, people live their lives, make decisions, and take actions without considering how God feels or what He desires. In the busyness of our daily routines, we might speak words, entertain thoughts, and make plans without seeking His will.

We may not openly declare our independence from God like the rich fool in Jesus' parable, but if we are not careful, we might be acting in ways that disregard Him.

Even in prayer, we sometimes approach God ritually—our hearts closed, already determined to follow our own path. We might even sense His gentle warnings, that still small voice nudging us away from a wrong choice, yet we ignore it.

Tonight is a moment to pause, reflect, and realign ourselves with God.

Jesus reminds us in Luke 12:21 that we cannot secure our future apart from God’s guidance. He alone holds tomorrow and controls what lies ahead.

Before you sleep tonight, take a moment to evaluate your heart. Ask yourself:

Have I ignored God’s voice today?

Have I made plans without seeking His direction?

Have I trusted in my own strength instead of His wisdom?

If so, now is the time to make amends. Surrender your plans to Him and let Him lead your steps.

Goodnight. Sleep with a heart surrendered to His will.

PRAYER POINTS

1. Dear Lord, I confess my ways, my actions to you. Forgive me in any way I have ignored you in my endeavour.

2. O! God, I submit my life, my will, my plans to you, take over and grant me peace, in Jesus name.

3. Heavenly Father, whatever steps I have taken that does not glorify you, please restore me to my divinely destined path in Jesus name.

Sleeping Capsule:

Dedicating our lives & future to God is the only way we can also take control of our lives.

THE GOD OF COVENANT

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
