MEDITATION
The day to always celebrate
1. The day Israel was delivered from Egypt and not the day Israel was born as a nation v1.
2. The purpose of the celebration was to remember the day of deliverance from Egypt v3b,12.
3. It must be characterized with worship (vv5,6), sober and reflective mind (bv3,8) as opposed to fleshly pleasurable or hilarious celebrations (vv7,8).
4. It should be a time of rejoicing in the presence of the Lord because salvation is a thing of joy v11. All other "anti-joy" challenges must be set aside through the spirit of faith, praise and appreciation of the greatest miracle of salvation any one can ever get.
5. For born again child of God, it is the day a person got delivered from sin, worldliness and power of Pharaoh (Satan). It is the day of salvation.
Q What are the benefits of recalling and reflecting on your day of salvation.
Note
a. Nowhere was Israel asked to celebrate the day she was born as a nation.
b. No where were Christians asked to celebrate the day Jesus was born except the day He died for our sins called the Lord's supper.
c. The Apostles and the saints never showed any remembrance for the day they were born.
d. What is important to God, and should be important to His saints, is the day of salvation.
e. We are to always recall it, reflect on it if we still have the experience, rehearse it to others, rejoice in it, radiate it and recommend it to sinners.
Q Why do you think the emphasis of the Bible is the day of salvation and not the day of natural birth?
"Be not conformed to this world" Romans 12:2.
Q Is there any day in your life that you can remember that you gave your life to Christ and there was instantaneous transformation?
Q Do you cherish your day of salvation above your birth day or you prefer conforming to the world?
Oh Lord, I am tired of mere religion. I want today to be a day of salvation for me. Jesus, I surrender to you as Lord and Saviour. Come into my heart and make me a child of God🙏
Lord, I promise that my day of salvation will always be remembered and rehearsed to sinners above any other day in my life🙏
Lord, give me the grace to always radiate my salvation experience for others to see 🙏
Lord, deliver your Church from worldliness and let our emphasis be the day of salvation once again🙏
