OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL: FRIDAY, JANUARY 20TH 2017-VIOLATING THE LAW OF KINDS?

Memorise: And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. Genesis 6:6
Read: Genesis 6:1-6
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Bible in one year: Mark 10:11, Isaiah 16:12-17:14

1. Our God is light, and in Him there is no space for the slightest speck of darkness (1st John 1:5). Those who profess having His nature cannot therefore harbour any element of darkness in them!
2. Right from the beginning, the Lord caused there to be a clear distinction between light and darkness. After He commanded light to be, the next thing He did was to separate the light from the darkness, and He gave them distinct names to avoid any form of confusion (Genesis 1:4-5).
3. Through these actions, God has established a template for those who profess His name to be separate from darkness. Just as God called light out of darkness at the beginning, He has also called us out of the darkness of this world into His marvellous light (1st Peter 2:9, 2nd Corinthians 4:9). Having called us out, the next thing He did was to separate us from darkness, and then He gave us a unique identity (Colossians 1:13).
4. Having done all these things, this one thing He demands of us: that we remain separate (2nd Corinthians 6:17).
5. As a believers in Christ, you have nothing in common with unbelievers. Your responsibility to them is to lead them to the true light.
6. Believers are a kind and unbelievers are another kind (2nd Corinthians 6:14-16). When believers begin to mate, fraternise and fellowship with unbelievers, they violate the law of kinds and evoke God’s anger.
7. When there is a cross-breed of goat and dog, violating the law of kinds, what do you think will be the result? It will be a beast. The end product is usually strange, detestable and something abominable.
8. Some people erroneously believe that God understands cross-breeds. No, He doesn’t. He hates such with despicable firmness.
9. In ancient times, the devil sowed the idea of cross-breeding. He caused fallen angels to mate with women, and he polluted the entire earth with the breed resulting from this aberration; all in an attempt to block the emergence of the seed of the woman earlier prophesied in Genesis 3:15. This brought so much grief to God to the extent that He decided to wipe out the whole human race.
10. Today, when men mate with men or women mate with women, they violate the law of kinds established by God and cause Him grief. Also, when a man goes for gender-reassignment surgery to take on the features of a woman, develop breasts and even attempt to conceive, he is violating the law of kinds.
11. In what ways are you violating the law of kinds today? Repent and straighten your crooked path! Cut off from that unequal yoke so that God can receive you.

2 Corinthians 6:14 says “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?” As God has separated light from darkness from the creation of the earth we are to know that God doesn’t not have any connection with it. It’s amazing and appalling how male and female nowadays choose to change their gender from who God made them as well as engage in same gender sex. They careless about what is right and do what they want. Therefore we as His children should cut off anything that doesn’t in anyway bring out God’s light in us. We should take bringing those in darkness into His light by telling and leading them of our Lord Jesus Christ. We should be light pointers to and in our world, watch out for what God detest and stay away from it. May we not find ourselves violating God’s rule or laws of kind in Jesus name. God bless our Father Pastor E.A Adeboye and equip him with greater wisdom to impact us more in Jesus name.

Action Point
Ask that advocates of the recent gay rights movement will receive God’s mercy. Pray that God will open their eyes to the truth of His word, and that His word will prevail.
