GOD!“Behold, I am
pressed under you and I will press you down in your place as a cart presses
that is full of sheaves” (Amos 2:13 AMP).Historically,
God was so gracious to the people of Israel. A handful of people that went down
to sojourn in Egypt became a great threatening nation to their hosts. God
raised leaders in Moses, Aaron, Miriam and other prophets for the Israelites
and brought them out of Egypt with many signs and wonders against the
Egyptians. He led them in the wilderness for forty years providing for them and
protecting them from all dangers. He drove powerful nations out of Canaan so
that the Israelites could inherit the Promised Land. He settled them down in
that land flowing with milk and honey. In spite of these, the Israelites were
not grateful. They did all kinds of wrong things against God. They insulted the
prophets sent to them by God. In fact, they abandoned their God for other gods.
God was so depressed by their actions that He promised to depress them by their
enemies (see Amos 2:6-16). The sin of the world during the time of Noah had
also made God to be sad that He destroyed the then world (see Genesis 6:6-7).Today, many
people are like the ungrateful Israelites. In spite of God’s goodness to them,
they continue to wallow in sins that make God sad. Most of such people are only
religious, they are not spiritual. In spite of the teachings of the Bible to
live rightly with God and other people, they prefer to live sinfully. They,
indeed, sadden God by their behaviours. If these people refuse to repent, God
will not hesitate to bring His judgment on them, but “He is patient with
[them], not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2
Peter 3:9 NIV). Are you like
those ungrateful Israelites? Do you do things that sadden God? Repent now
before it too late. God will indeed bring His fierce judgment against all those
that are doing contrary to His will. Do not sadden God this year by your
actions. In His service,Bayo Afolaranmi
(Pastor).Prayer Point:
Pray that you will not do things that will sadden God this year.-- _________________________Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor).+234 805 515 9591 +234 816 304 5450BB PIN:29275BB9
