CHRIST APOSTOLIC CHURCH
THE LIVING WATER {Jan ~ June, 2020}
DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE
Monday, March 23, 2020
- World Meteorological Day
TOPIC: NECESSARY, BUT NOT SUFFICIENT
Read Romans 10:1-13
MEMORISE: For whoever calls the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13)
EXPOSITION
In the field of science, before any assumptions can go through all the normal experimental processes to become popularly accepted as a theory, certain proofs must have been established.
However, certain important ingredients are considered very necessary for a good soup to be ready, but such may not be enough or sufficient to make the soup.
Paying our tithes and offerings is not only very good but also rewarding (Mal. 3:10). Although, some have come up with opposing views, but that is mere wasteful academic exercise.
The important thing is that, tithing is necessary, obligatory for every Christian believer, but it is unfortunately, though, not sufficient to make someone a child of God (Matt. 23:23). So, do also the following: Church attendance (Heb. 10:25), working in His vineyard (Matt. 7:21), giving to the needy, living a 'moralist' life, etc. The list is endless.
All these are wonderful but not sufficient enough to qualify you as child of God.
The only thing that is needful and sufficient to make you a child of God is accepting
wholeheartedly, God's only offer of salvation in the person of Jesus Christ.
This is the Gospel truth which can never be challenged. All the necessary things being done are obligations that actually define our personality, either with God, or man, but the sufficient thing to be done is the needful, which if you have, can never be taken away from you. Stay glued with Him.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, make me hundred per cent in You.
2. O Lord, uproot the spirit of self-sufficiency ravaging some churches, ministers and members.
3. O God, help our national leaders to understand and acknowledge their nothingness, without You.
EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Deuteronomy 12 - 14 & John 16
Good morning and happy new week. Do have a wonderful day ahead. May God heal our land in Jesus name Amen.
Jesus is the only way to heaven. Accept Him today as your Lord and Savior.
