TODAY


TEXT: Hebrews  3:13

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin .

TODAY is the only day in your lifetime that you  have to make the right decision; yesterday is gone, and tommorrow is God's. 

God's word encourages us to exhort one another daily.  The reason for  daily exhortation is to prevent the hearers from being  hardened through the deceitfuness of sin.

New Living Translation renders the text thus:

 _You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God (Hebrews. 3-13)_ .

 Sin has the capacity to deceive you and to harden your heart against God. Watch it! Today always come with the opportunities of hearing God's Voice. "Today" is the time frame in which the Voice of God is being heard for a walk in obedience. Your "Today" comes with a  command for you to obey.  To miss God's voice (command) is equivalent  to missing your Inheritance in God. (Hebrew 4:7-10, Heb 12:7).

The Israelites missed the opportunity to obey the voice of God  in their own  "Today". They provoked  God  through unbelief and disobedience.

Hebrews 3:15-16 Says _While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses._ 

So, anytime anyone is deceived by the deceitfulness of sin, such a person's heart becomes hardened, and when the heart is hardened, God's voice is being rejected. Once God's voice is being rejected, provocation will set in.

Are you hearing God's voice Today? Please do not harden your heart. Don't allow sin to destroy you, and cheat you of your inheritance in Christ.

When you hear an instruction from God's word, when you are convicted in your heart, when you are confronted with the truth: These are the times you are hearing God's voice, and God expects you to obey.

"Today" if you are in the habit of not responding  to the nudges and still small voice in your conscience,  you are being lured by deceitfulness of sin. This will lead to hardness of heart towards God.

God's Grace is available TODAY. It is never too late for you to retrace your steps back to the Lord and to start a fresh  journey with your Saviour TODAY.

 Bible Reading.

Hebrews 3:7-19.

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...
