Day 139: Health is Essential Read: Psalm 118; Proverbs 1:17-19; 1 Tim 6; Deuteronomy 33-34 Deuteronomy 34:7,9 “Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished. Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him; so the children of Israel heeded him, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses.” Deuteronomy 34:7, 9 NKJV http://bible.com/114/deu.34.7,9.nkjv It is good to note that Moses was still strong and his eyes were not dim even when he was 120 years old when he died. Further, Joshua was full of the spirit of wisdom when he took over from Moses. God has promised wisdom to those who ask. James 1:5 says, “But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God Who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.” Let us be wise to take care of our health as we serve our King of kings and Lord of lords. Be careful of the food we consume...

Day 138: Uphold Standard Read: Psalm 117; Proverbs 1:14-16; 1 Tim 5; Deuteronomy 31-32 Deuteronomy 32 50 There on the mountain that you have climbed you will die and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people. 51 This is because both of you broke faith with me in the presence of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the Desert of Zin and because you did not uphold my holiness (hallowed HIM) among the Israelites. 52 “Therefore, you will see the land only from a distance; you will not enter the land I am giving to the people of Israel.”” The above passage centers on the last moments of Moses whereby God spoke to him that he would not enter the Promised Land but could only see the Land from a distance. I don’t know about you but I feel terribly sorry for Moses. This shows the high standard of our God and yet nowadays we sometimes treat God just like a Santa Claus who lavishes on us uncondit...

Day 137: Choose Life Read: Psalm 116; Proverbs 1:11-13; 1 Tim 4; Deuteronomy 29-30 Deuteronomy 30:19-20 NKJV I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”” As of today’s reading, we can see God has laid both blessings and curses before us. We need to make a choice whether to obey Him or not. God has laid down clearly the consequences of our choices. He further reiterates that we are actually choosing between life and death. Moses urged the Israelites to choose life that the descendants may live to love the Lord, obey His voice and cling to Him for indeed God is our ...

Day 136 - Jesus Wants All To Be Saved Read: Psalm 114; Proverbs 1:4-7; 1 Tim 2; Deuteronomy 25-26 1 Timothy 2:3-6 (NIV) 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. Note carefully here that it is God's desire and in fact, pleases Him that all people be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. That truth is Jesus being made our Mediator Who gave Himself as a ransom for ALL people so that all can be saved when they accept Jesus and willing to be ransomed by Him. How important then that we must open our mouth to tell this truth to as many people as possible. It is not that God is unable to do it BUT He has given us this privilege to work together with Him to save the world. Imagine, we are co-partner with the Lord of Lords ...

Day 135 - God Enables Us Read: Psalm 113; Proverbs 1:1-3; 1 Tim 1; Deuteronomy 23-24 1 Timothy 1 12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry,13 although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.14 And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. Apostle Paul recognised that it is God Who enables him to be who he is - enabled him to be faithful so that he needs to continually rely on God. Paul recognised too that he was the worst sinner, hence humbling himself before God. With this perspective, He was eternally grateful and hence when he served God, it was all exuberated from his heart of gratefulness. Let us therefore, keep this perspective. Tha...

Day 133 - Get Ourselves Ready and Be Prepared! Read: Psalm 111; Proverbs 31:25-27; 2 Thessalonians 2; Deuteronomy 19-20 2 Thes 2 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. The second coming of the Lord shall be preceded by the above event when there would be a man of lawlessness who would exalt himself, proclaiming himself to be God. We are seeing some glimpses of such unfolding events leading to the aforesaid scenarios. Hence, we have to be prepared. Imagine! it will be a man of lawlessness which means he will perhaps ban all Scriptures as he wants all on earth to worship him as God and hence ban any other form of religion. We HAVE TO prepare and equip ourselves - at least keep God's Word...

Day 134 - Be An Example, Walk the Talk Read: Psalm 112;  Proverbs 31:28-31; 2 Thessalonians 3; Deuteronomy 21-22 2 Thessalonians 3 6  In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching you received from us. 7  For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, 8  nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. 9  We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. Deuteronomy 21 5  The Levitical priests shall step forward, for the LORD your God has chosen them to minister and to pronounce blessings in the name of the LORD and to decide all cases of dispute and assault. Paul...
