It is advisable that you prayerfully and meditatively read the text first

DON'T BE A REBEL!
EZEKIEL 17:11-24.

🔑KEY VERSE 
"But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?" (EZEKIEL 17:15).

Russian communist leader, Joseph Stalin was one time a seminary student, preparing for the ministry. He made a decisive break from God later in his life. This dramatic and complete reversal of his conviction resulted in his hatred of all religion. Stalin, not his real name, means "Steel." This name was given to him by his contemporaries who fell under his steel-like determination. He became one of Russia's most brutal dictators, sending millions of his own people into the labour camps and many to their untimely death. He could have become a priest, but ended up a dictator.



Israel was a nation saved by God and separated from other nations as God's own people. But they moved away like Stalin from this arrangement and became a nation sold to idolatry and sin. From the passage under consideration, they now faced a forced exile to Babylon as a result of their iniquities. Ezekiel prophesied that their attempts to rebel against the king of Babylon after reaching a covenant to serve him as a conquered territory will fail. Israel's king, as well as the members of the royal family and all the important men in the society, were exiled to Babylon, leaving only the poor in the land to live in their cities under an appointed regent.

Rebellion became so common in Israel's history that they could no longer be trusted to keep any covenant or agreement. They rebelled against God's laws and all His appointed ministers, prophets and priests.

The purpose for studying the story of Israel's rebellion is for us to learn and avoid their mistakes. We must abide under God's control and scrutiny if we must bear fruit and prosper in life. The way of transgressors is hard and those who rebel against God cannot make it to heaven.

✍THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 
Forsaking God means accepting the devil.

COVER TO COVER 
2 SAMUEL 21-22.

HYMN 
Out of my bondage, sorrow and night

Divine Opening

By Date -
Divine Opening “ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; ” - - - Isaiah 45:1 Hallelujah! God has graciously brought us to the second month of this year. As the Lord themed this year as our year of Divine Beautification so also is this month themed as our month of Divine Openings. You may be thinking how will come bring to past His promises but remember that God can do anything at any time He wishes to. He can use anyone to bring to pass this Divine Opening. From the passage, He used Cyrus to subdue nations and Jehovah using any person to do His will is not an issue. I pray that in any area of your life that you are experiencing difficult and closed doors, Jehovah will cause the doors to be open unto you. No more will you experience difficulty and shortages. The doors of your supply are open...

Do Your Search

By Date -
Do Your Search Acts 17:11 – These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. While in college and high school, you will agree with me that after you are taught by your instructor, you carried out some search to attain the truth and to know more. This we all did for a degree and knowledge that is corruptible, aren’t we supposed to do more for a knowledge that incorruptible and that will lead to our salvation? It is advisable that we should always search the scriptures even if it is the most revered religious leader or person that just spoken from the scripture. To stay deceivable then don’t study or search the scriptures but remember many even the agents of darkness can preach and quote the scriptures but they do this by tailoring the scripture to suite their purpose, 1 Thessalonians 5:21, 2 Corinthian 11:14-15. Beloved study your bible frequently, 2 Timoth...
