RESTORATION TODAY
MONDAY, MARCH 16, 2020
TOPIC: *YOU NEED GOD'S ASSISTANCE*
"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1Corinthians 15:57.
*MESSAGE*
All of humankind is possessed with a tormenting disease called sin. On a daily basis we indulge in certain behaviours that can ultimately destroy us (e.g., drugs, adultery, fornication, drunkenness, pornography, pride, lust, selfishness, etc). As Isaiah 64:6 declares, "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."
It is within our human nature to live and work for ourselves. But within the confines of scripture, we can find the guiding power freedom from the bondage of our sinful nature.1John 1:7-9
for example offers us some guidance: "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
The more focused we are in the world, the less likely we are to do things that are holy. But the more focused we are on the cross, the less likely we are to do things that are sinful. Hebrews 12:2 offers us one more point of guidance: "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."
*ACTION POINT*
Memorise Hebrews 12:2.
*SCRIPTURES*
Hebrews 12:2; 1John 1:7-9.
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Father, please come to my assistance in the name of Jesus;
2. Lord, where my effort is failing, arise and help me to experience victory in the name of Jesus;
3. Lord, send your miracle into my situation in the name of Jesus.
*THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR*
Exodus 33:1-34.3; Psalm 83-84; Acts 20:1-16.
