Mr. Lot

Text : Gen 19:1 ISV 

The two angels entered Sodom at sunset while Lot was sitting in the gate area of the city. When Lot saw them, he got up, greeted them, bowed low with his face to the ground,

For the record, Mr Lot is a nephew of Abraham. Gen.12:5. When God called Abraham out of his father's land with the sole aim of cutting a covenant with him, Lot went with him. 

Today, we shall be looking at the life of Lot in order to glean some lessons from him :

DIVINE CONNECTION : By divine providence,  God placed Lot close to his destiny helper - Abraham. God didn't call Lot, He called Abraham and Lot went him. This was a good step in the right direction. 

God knows about every little details of your life. You are not in the family you are right now by accident,  God placed you there. A number of times, because we are oblivion of God's operation in our lives, we run ahead of Him. The English man will say if the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable. 

If Lot knew that his connection to Abraham was divine, he would have done everything in his power to maintain the relationship. 

Some relationship are not worth keeping, infact,  you need to cut off from some people in order to fulfil your destiny, because whoever is not adding to you is taking from you, there's no middle ground, so be selective in your company.

However,  there are some relationship you don't joke with. When God brings you in contact with some people, you need wisdom not to cut ties with them.

It was a divine arrangement for Lot to tag along with Abraham in the journey of life, but he was insensitive. He left him to his own peril.
Regardless of your achievements and earthly acquisitions, don't severe your relationship with those God has placed along your path to help you.


Bible Reading : Genesis 19: 1-38.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
