Never take
God for granted so you don’t end up grounded in life.
SCRIPTURE:
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart
from evil. Proverbs 16:6
THOUGHT FOR
THE DAY: Never take God for granted so you don’t end up grounded in life.
Sometime
ago, I heard the story of some rebellious children who wanted to drive
somewhere, perhaps for revelry or for some aimless and reckless socialization.
Their mother said to them, ‘Children, may the Lord go with you.’ And one of
them replied, ‘mother, there is no space for God in the car anymore, we have
occupied all the seats, maybe God can find a space in the car boot.’ What a
reckless and blasphemous utterance!
Shortly
after they moved, they had a fatal accident that claimed all their lives. But
surprisingly, the car boot where God was meant to occupy, according to them,
was unscratched including the crates of eggs that were there, none of the eggs
was broken by the impact of the crash. Incredible!
Beloved,
whatever pushes you against God, church or a genuine servant of God is a setup
for damnation. Nothing finishes a person fast like the lack of fear or
reverence for God (Proverbs 10:26).It is the bankruptcy of the fear of God that
can make a pastor lie on the altar; it is the scarcity of the fear of God that
can make a church worker steal from the offering box; it is the lack of the
fear of God that can make a believer dupe another believer in the name of doing
business; it is the bankruptcy of that fear for God that makes a person leave
church at the end of service and proceed to an alcoholic centre or pub to drink
himself to stupor. It is the lack of reverence for God that makes a person to
proceed to the house of a man or a woman to commit immorality even after Sunday
service.
Please,
never take God’s mercy for granted so you don’t end up grounded in life and
wasted for eternity.
But you
shall make it, in Jesus’ Name.
REMEMBER
THIS: Never take God for granted so you don’t end up grounded in life.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Avoid
people that derive pleasure in talking against God, church or genuine servants
of God.

Christian; be real. Don’t be fake; be authentic.
3. Confess
and turn from any life of sin or rebellion
PRAYER:
Lord, I disconnect from any association aimed at destroying my life on the
platform of the lack of fear of You. Deliver me from every rebellious
lifestyle. Help me to be a Christian in words, appearance and deed O Lord, in
Jesus’ Name.
