REPENT AND LIVE! – Ezekiel 18:32 Devotional

REPENT AND LIVE!

Ezekiel 18:32 – Devotional

Ezekiel 18:32

“For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!”

Most of us have loved ones who have rejected the Word of God and choose to walk in rebellion to the God’s offer of eternal life. What should our reaction be and how should we respond to these individuals?

I think the best example we have on the situation is the family of Jesus. If ever there were siblings that should have eagerly followed the faith of their parents and older brother, it should have been Jesus’ own family. The truth of the matter was that they did not come to faith until after His death and resurrection.

Jesus’ own siblings rejected Him as their personal Savior until after His resurrection. As the Son of God and Savior of the world Jesus saw this, but from the human perspective Jesus had to deal with unbelieving family members.

The answer is that Jesus lived His faith all the way to the cross and beyond. It is far too easy for us to drive our loved ones away from us by a continual barrage of sermonizing. We should rather love them into the Kingdom of God by our faithful walk with the Lord. Watch for opportunities to lead others to the Lord. You may be the answer to another’s prayer.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

LEARN A LESSON! – Jeremiah 35:13 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

LEARN A LESSON!

Jeremiah 35:13 – Devotional

Jeremiah 35:13

“Will you not learn a lesson and obey My words?’ declares the LORD.”

When I was a junior in high school several of us journeyed a few hundred miles from home to work in the harvest. We were able to secure temporary employment at an insecticide processing company.

In the processing room was a large platform where various bags of a powder-like product weighing 50 to 75 pounds were dumped into a large hopper. A 6’x8’piece of ½ inch plywood would be lowered while mixing. When it was open there were chains on either side to prevent the bags it from falling over. The idea was to empty the product in the center of the opening away from the chains.

An older man, given to drink, had worked there for quite a while and supervised our activities. He handled the mixing. We quickly learned the process, of staying clear of the chains, but that old veteran never seemed to get it through his head.

Time after time a heavy bag hit against the chain and it would slam the plywood down striking his head. He was almost bald and his head was covered with sores from where the plywood and hit him so many times.

As I have thought about this incident, it brings to mind how many people know that the wages of sin produces bitter dividends. But in spite of knowing the consequences, they will not learn a lesson. May we all be teachable!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

THE ANSWER IS GOD! – Job 42:5-6 Devotional

by | Feb 1, 2022 | Job

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

THE ANSWER IS GOD!

 Job 42:5-6 – Devotional

Job 42:5-6

“I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You. Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”

I frequently receive messages from readers who feel as if the enemy of our souls has his weapons trained directly on them. They seem to give Satan more credit than he deserves.

I have been thinking of a few questions that may help to put things in perspective.

      • Who is more powerful, God or Satan?
      • Who is the defeated foe, God or Satan?
      • Who wants to make your life miserable, God or Satan?
      • Who wants you to allow Him to fight your battles, God or Satan?
      • Who wants to tempt you into giving up, God or Satan?

You could add many more such questions. The important thing is to come to the same conclusion that Job did in today’s Scripture. It is not just hearing about God, but opening our spiritual eyes to see Him ready to meet our need. The answer to all of the above questions is God!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
