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.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
