OPPRESSION

By Date -


OPPRESSION
To oppress means to treat somebody in a cruel and unfair way, especially by not giving them the same freedom, rights as other people. It is also when someone is made to be able to think only about sad or worrying things. Do you know many of us are guilty of oppression? By the way we sometimes treat our spouses and children, the labourers or workers who work for us, the way we treat our pastor or our members. Etc.
It is unfortunate to say that there are Christian sadists who enjoy oppressing people. God abhors oppression that was why He promised to deal squarely with all oppression. Psalm 103:6 says, “The Lord Execueth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed”. He also warned us against oppression of any kind. Whether a stranger. “Thou shalt neither vex a stranger nor oppress him …” Ex. 22:21; 23:9. Your neighbour-“And if thou sell ought to thy neighbour or buyest ought of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another” Leviticus 25:14. Your hired servant- “Thou shall not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates”. Deuteronomy 24:14. The poor and the afflicted-“rob not the poor, because he is poor; neither oppress the afflicted in the gate”. Proverbs 22:22. A man and his wife- “and houses, and they covet fields, and take them away by violence; and houses, and take them away; so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage”. Micah 2:2. The widow- “and oppress not the widow… and let none of your imagine evil against his brother in your heart” Zech. 7:10. Are you an instrument of oppression in the hand of the devil? Make up your mind to stop today. Make it a choice to be an instrument of justice, peace equal right and harmony.

Heart Not Garment - 2

By Date -
"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

The True Picture Of The Church Today II

By Date -
THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: Sunday 7th, June 2020. TOPIC: The True Picture Of The Church Today II TEXT: Rev. 3:15  MESSAGE "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot".Vs 15, so then because thou art lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Lukewarmness and indifference in religion is the worst tempter in the world. The husband of a lukewarm wife is always confused as he would not know when and how to please the wife. So are members of the church whose heart cannot be determined. They are between two opinions. We also have these in the church because they are high minded and proud, they have unknowingly overlooked the necessity of their souls as they gorgeously dressed up in Costly apparel at the expense and decay of their souls, making them to be wretched poor and miserable.  Also there is the state of blindness which the devil is using against the church today which has made them very weak and defensele...
