Text:*  1Samuel 13:12.

 *I thought, ‘The Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal but I’ve not sought the favor of the LORD,’ so I forced myself to offer the burnt offering.”* 

You can come out with many profound excuse to justify your disobedient act, but the truth remains that God cannot condole disobedience.

A number of times, you convince yourself that you are helping God, when in actual fact, you are only helping yourself. God is the almighty , He does not need anyone's help.

How can you say you are helping God by cutting corners? God promised Abraham a child through Sarah, they decided to help God by employing Haggai to have a child for our father of faith. Today, when they look down from heaven, they'll realize what a huge error they both committed.

You don't have to wait till you get to heaven to understand that helping God is a costly experiment you can't afford.

The truth is, you are not actually helping God, you are only satisfying your selfish desires. You believe that God is delaying and you seek another means to gratify your desires.

Another truth is that 'helping God' comes at a very high cost, even when God has forgiven you, you still have to deal with the consequences, and most times, these consequences are transgenerational.

What Abraham did many centuries ago, we are still dealing with the consequences today. When king Saul decided to 'help God', his generation was removed, and totally alienated from kingship in Isreal.

The reason we are 'helping God'  as it were, is because we are impatient. Habakkuk 2:3 says,  *For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.* 

 *Don't run ahead of God, don't run ahead of yourself, don't run ahead of your timing. Wait patiently for God, because He makes everything beautiful in His time.* (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

God is never too late, wait for Him, even when  it appears time is going, He will make all things beautiful for you in His time, don't try to help God by lowering His standards.

 *Bible Reading* 

1 Samuel 13:1-14.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father, grant me the grace to patiently wait for your timing in Jesus name.

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...
