REMEMBER THE LOST


SCRIPTURAL READING: ACTS 19:8-12

TEXT: "Warned everyone night and day with tears!" Acts 2:31.


COMMENTARY

The founder of the China Inland Mission, Young Taylor, claimed to have charged a man with a gangrenous foot while still a college student. He was responsible for dressing the man's foot each day. He soon discovered that his patient had not attended a church in forty years and was not a Christian. At his wife's funeral, he refused to enter the Church because he detested religion so much.

Every time he went to see this man, young Taylor resolved to talk to him about his soul. The man forbade him from praying and cursed him. Hudson Taylor continued to show this man Christ. The man gave his life to Christ one day.

As God's children, we should be more fervent than ever in sharing Christ with a dying world, just like Paul and Hudson Taylor were. Many people will die today while you read this devotional, but I'm more worried about people dying without salvation than I am about people dying. A lot of us are getting too busy to pay attention to people who are dying. Let's beg God to help us see our duties to a dying world and our calling as Christians.

Prayer Points:

1. Lord, I receive grace to always remember the lost in Jesus name.

2. Lord, I hope that through me the word of salvation will reach the lost in Jesus name.

3. Lord, please make me more accountable for your job. Amen.

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
