THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: Tuesday 9th June 2020.
TOPIC: No Other Foundation.
TEXT: Isaiah 58:12.
MESSAGE
A part of Isaiah 52:12 says "the repairer of breach" which means that true Christians are repairers or the ones responsible to retain, sustain, amend ruptures in marriages and settle amicable any breach in content of promise to avoid the outbreak of violence, rift or confusion. For our righteousness to shine and for our lights to rise and dismiss obscurity we need to (a) loose the brand of wickedness (ii) undo the heavy burdens (iii) let the oppressed go free (iv) break every yoke (v) deal our bread to them that are hungry (vi) provide shelter for the homeless (vii) clothe they who are naked and (viii) have total and perfect compassion and tender affection for the above mentioned classes as if we were doing it for our own selves. Ministers of the gospel must be wise master builders so as to be able to guide the members in the areas where they can help and be helped. It is by the grace of God that we are lifted into favour and wealth. Therefore, spiritual pride and refusing to do God's will in the matter listed above is apostasy and is also seen as building on a wrong foundation.
It is abominable as we use the great favours obtained from God to feed our vanity and make idol of ourselves. Beloved, let every man beware so as not to put bad blocks on a good foundation for selfish reason. We cannot marry corruption of sin with the profession of Christianity. There are spiritual conditions or situations we need to apply great caution and carefulness in even if we are carefree with the physical. "And they came to Nachon's threshing floor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen shook it. And the anger of God was kindled against Uzzah and God smote him there for his error and there he died by the ark of God." Brethren, do not allow your familiarity with the things of God particularly as touching sacred things of God push you to do what is unexpected as it might lead us to both physical and spiritual death. Good day.
