Devotions for 12th Jan 2017



Heb 4: 13  #bible studies # daily devotions # word of God # scriptures
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.


The writer reminds that all things are known to God, In verses 12-13 “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and lay bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.”

From these two verses we are reminded that God is omniscience and He knows all things, He is able to judge our thoughts and attitude of our hearts; our emotions etc. are revealed to God. We can hide and lock ourselves even in a dungeon in complete darkness where there is no light and visibility is zero.

Even in such darkness God knows what we do and what we think in our mind as well as in our hearts. Nothing in all creation can be hidden from God. We may think that man cannot see us and therefore we can keep secrets but this is not so because God can see and knows every word or thought that is in us.

The scriptures remind us that everything is uncovered and lay bare before the eyes of God and the worst thing is that we would have to give an account of everything to God one day when we stand before Him. On that day, everything would be played back to us and as they are played back we would have to account for everything one by one. God is a fair and just God; He will judge us according to our words and deeds.

If we stand on this alone we will surely have no hope of salvation for we know that Paul said in Roms 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Coming short means missing the mark of acceptance of God, this would interpret as missing the qualifying mark to enter into heaven.

In the recent weeks, there have been many prophecies by established international prophets in the world giving the prophetic word for the Church in 2017. An outstanding word that has come out is that the universal Church today is not ready to be taken up to heaven. Many Christians think that they are already saved and would be assured of inheriting heaven.

However the warning has come from God that many Christians today in Churches are not living right and not walking right with God. They come to Church but their hearts are not pure and righteous. Even today there is a posting in the social media boasting that a Church in America has just hired a married couple of lesbians to be the pastors of their church and to look after the congregation.

What theology would they be teaching and bringing to the Church. The scriptures tell us in Rev 21: 8 But as for the cowardly the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.

Lesbians and gays are the sexually immoral and they are destined for the pits of Hell where they will burn forever. How can gay and lesbians be ordained and accepted as pastors and Church workers. They will bring the sin into the Church and contaminate the Church and the people will follow them into Hell.

The Church leaders who permit and employ these sexually immoral people as pastors and leaders will have to answer for their words and actions as well to God. They have caused the Church to become an abomination in the eyes of God. The people are also mislead and will also sin as a result.

How can matured Christians fall into such sins of sexual immorality, they have been deceived by the devil and they deceive themselves that God hates the sin but not the sinner. This is a lie from Satan who is blinding the eyes of Church leaders as they permit such people to take leadership of the Churches.

They will be judged and would also be found coming short before God and such leaders will join the sexually perverted in the pits of Hell.
