Memorise: And Jesus said unto him, no man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Luke 9:62
Read: Ezekiel 3:20 (KJV)
20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Bible in one year: Genesis 25-26, Psalms 104:1-18
AS REVEALED BY PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE IN TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL
1. Lot’s wife missed it because she could not let go of her worldly affection. She did not make progress and she became a pillar of salt. This will not be your portion in Jesus’ name. Have you been walking with the Lord passionately and you are getting tired? You need to check your life. If you quit, then you have lived for nothing.
2 For our Christian walk to be commended by the host of heaven, we need to remain focused and committed to the end.
3. We should not allow the things of this world to deter us from the pursuit of true worship. Anyone who has said “goodbye” to the world should never go back. You cannot afford to go on a holiday during your Christian walk. Don’t create an opportunity for the devil and his demons to access your life. Continue to dwell in the presence of God through witnessing, the study of His Word, in prayers and in fasting.
4. A moment of ungodly pleasure will destroy a life of testimonies. Joseph refused to take a break with his master’s wife; he ran and delivered himself from the devil’s trap. Don’t look back to those things you have dropped for the sake of Christ.
5. You cannot afford to stop running until you are called up into glory. Endure to the very end.
SHORT REFLECTION BY THE LIGHT POINTERS
Two important words is to be noted and taken in the message of our father in the lord for today, ” Focus and Commitment” to the end. Also, as Christians we must pursue true worship all our lives. for John 4:24 says we must worship the father in spirit and truth . True worship takes us into the presence of God where devil and his cohorts is shut out of our lives. The numbers of years we have been in Christ or worked for Him become useless once we quit. As a disciple, we must focus on just one thing and work for just one master without distractions. We are soldiers for Christ and we should not rest on our battle field because this can help the enemy attack and/overtake. This will not be our portion in Jesus’ name. Thanks to Pastor E.A Adeboye for today’s devotional, may the Lord continue to keep and sustain you for us sir.
Key Point
Heaven is for great finishers not good starters.
HYMN
1 Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;

let them flow in endless praise.
2 Take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee,
swift and beautiful for thee.

always, only, for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from thee,
filled with messages from thee.
4 Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
every power as thou shalt choose,
every power as thou shalt choose.
5 Take my will and make it thine;
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne,
it shall be thy royal throne.
6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour
at thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee,
ever, only, all for thee.
