MI Daily Devotion: A Noble Son

A Noble Son

 “20- And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21- And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22- But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:” (Luke 15: 20- 22 KJV)

“It was a remark overheard in a street car, but it reminded us that there are honorable men in the world. A young man said: “I am very particular about paying my fare. I took a ticket home once when I was a small boy and showed it to my father, saying that the conductor had not taken it, and that I was that much ahead. My father looked at me and said that I had sold my honor for a nickel. That put a new face on it. I always think of what he said when I am tempted to repeat the offense.” If all fathers were training their sons in this way there would be fewer dishonorable transactions in high places.” (Herald and Presbyter)

We honor our father by giving honor to God the Father. We must be in tune with God to be in tuned with men, especially with our parents. God don’t expect us to live an excellent life, but He expects us to live an honorable life.

The Bible says’ “That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.” (John5:23 KJV)

MI Daily Devotion: Abraham's Noble Act

Abraham's Noble Act

“2- And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. 3- And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.” (Genesis 22:2- 3 KJV)

God’s Command- "Take thy son…” not thy bullocks and thy lambs or other animals that was available at the time…

Go and Offer- God told Abraham on the specific of his offering, and the instructions was to “Go and Offer”. “thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest,”

Notice the 2 important words: “only” and “lovest”. The hardest part for someone to give up is when the family is involved. It’s not easy to give up your only son, and the one you love the most. But God gave us His one and only Son. The Bible says; “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16 KJV)

God the Father sacrificed His Son on the cross for the remission of our sins. Abraham’s sacrifice was a picture of what God will do to us through the death of His Son. It is a noble act and Biblical when we sacrifice for our family and for the Lord’s sake.

Apostle Paul wrote; “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32 KJV)

He Did All These for You... What Have You Done for Him?

 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16 KJV)

God spared not His Son. He sacrificed, He suffered, He was in shame, and Jesus took our sin on the cross... Jesus did all these for you, and He died for our sins; what have you done for Him? God Gave Us His One and Only Son; What Have You Offered Him or What Have You Given Him?

Please read the whole chapter of Isaiah fifty three. In verses three to five it says; “3- He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4- Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5- But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:3- 5 KJV)

Be at Your Best for God!

“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” (Ecclesiastes 9:10 KJV)

What is God’s plan for my life? Or what do I plan for my future? “What does God want me to do?” The answer is clear; who are you and what do you have in your hands? God wanted us to be at our best right now and not be worried of our future.

Jesus did His best as a carpenter’s Son and a carpenter Himself. Be at your best as you sing for the Lord. Do whatever you can as the Lord gifted you. Be at your best as a wife, as a husband, as a sister or a brother… You may not be perfect and the best, but God’s purpose and design for you is the best. 

Moses used his rod to be an instrument of God’s miracle. God used Gideon and Samson’s animal’s jaw to display God’s miracle and power. You could be God’s miracle if you wait in God’s time, and wait for Him patiently. Jesus wanted us to be in our best whatever and whenever God is using us for His glory. We need to have a willing heart for God.

“17- And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. 23- And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;” (Colossians 3:17; 23 KJV)

MI Daily Devotion: God's Will- Salvation

God's Will- Salvation

30- And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31- And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:30- 31 KJV)

Rapture may come at any time and we must be conscious of that. Why? Because many of our friends and love ones need to know Christ and His will- salvation! Knowing the will of God as Christians could make an impact to people’s life and in our walk with God.

I remember the story in the book of Acts chapter nine. It’s about the life of Saul who became Paul after his conversion. When Saul was on His way to Damascus, He asked Jesus; “Lord, what do you want me to do…?” It’s like asking the Lord this question; “Lord, what would be your will for me, or for my life?” That should be our personal question; “What does God want me to do?” The answer to the questions would be- God’s will for you is to be saved. But the decision is on us!

Apostle Peter message to every creation is very powerful when he wrote; “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (II Peter 3:9)

Be Still and be Quiet!

“Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalms 46:11)

We must learn to live a quiet life for God. We exercise to be in tune and meditate in the Spirit with the Lord. And Christians must let God work and do the talking through His Word and His Holy Spirit. “The hearing ear and the seeing eye, The LORD hath made both of them.” (Proverbs 20:12) Dr. Chuck Swindoll (Growing Strong in the Season of Life, page 62) said: “Two ears. Two eyes. Only one mouth. May that should tell us something.”

Let me encourage you to be a good listener, especially to the voice of God as God speaks to you through His Word, through the preachers, and through the voice of the Holy Spirit. Jesus told His disciples in the book of Mark chapter six verse thirty one; “31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.” We need to find time to be alone with the Lord and have a quiet time with Him or be still.

The psalmist said; “Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.” (Psalm 88:8)

God Forgave the Ruthless Sinner Like...

“6-To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7- In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;” (Ephesians 1: 6- 7 KJV)

Apostle Paul claimed the position no one would dare, and want to admit or proudly declare to the world- “Chief among sinners”. But the Lord by His grace and rich in mercy opened the door of forgiveness to everyone through the Lord Jesus Christ. God forgave Moses who killed an Egyptian. God forgave King David when he committed adultery with Bathsheba and killed Uriah to cover up his sins. (II Samuel 11: 1- 27) God can forgive the chief among sinners. He can and will forgive you too. Be it a weakness, a moral issue, God’s blood can cleanse us, and will washed away our sins. Apostle John said; “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”

Apostle Paul was ruthless, merciless, and was a murderer and persecutor of Christians, but God forgave him. God can do the same to you if you will ask Him to forgive you. You have to humbly come to God in repentance. The Bible says; “8- If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9-If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (I John 1:8- 9 KJV)

We are the Temple of the Holy Spirit

“12- That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:” (Ephesians 2:12 KJV)

The moment we choose to accept the offer of God for our salvation; it was the same time we belong to Christ and His church. It was not during our first communion or when we had our baby baptism or confirmation. We were aliens in the kingdom of God before we were born again. Even the Jews- the chosen people of God were alien or stranger as a nation in the family of God. Matthew Henry wrote; “It is no small privilege to be placed in the church of Christ, and to share with the members of it in the advantages peculiar to it.” Jesus Christ himself is the chief corner-stone and the head of the church. Through the death, burial and resurrection of Christ both Jews and Gentiles were made one church and family. We were called the temple of the Holy Spirit. We are a holy society, and we belong to a holy community here on earth and in heaven. Therefore we are expected to live a holy life, and our life must be in tune with God in Christ! Let us be the shining light of this darkened world.

Apostle Paul wrote; “21- In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22- In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.” (Ephesians 2:21- 22 KJV)
