TOPIC: DIVINE REQUIREMENT
Read Deuteronomy 10:12-15
MEMORISE: And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today for your good? (Deuteronomy 10:12-13)
EXPOSITION
For a student to pass in an examination, he has to carefully follow the instructions. Students who are fond of doing their self-will, especially in the class, will have themselves to blame, because they will fail woefully.
In the same vein, God expects His children to always listen to His instructions, so that it may go well with them. The believers are called up by God to heed His command. They are to fear the Lord God, and walk in all His ways and statutes. They must love Him, and endeavour to serve Him with all their heart.
They are to diligently follow divine requirements, not because of God, but for their own good. It is easy to worship God and walk with Him, if they only know the way He wants them to do it. In the other way round, it is also difficult to worship and walk with Him, if they do not know the way He wants them to do it.
There were lots of times the Ark of God was brought to the war front, and the people of God beat their enemies, hands down. However, there were other times the Ark was taken to war, only for the enemies to gain the upper hand (cf. 1 Sam. 4:1-11). Why? Did the Ark change? No, of course! It is the presence of God that made the difference.
When these people followed God's requirements, they enjoyed His presence. But when they failed to follow God's requirements, they suffered a setback. Always do the requirements (biddings) of God, and it shall go well with you.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, let it be easy for me to follow Your will than to engage in vain prayers, in Jesus' name.
2. Every spirit in me that is working against the will of God, get out, in Jesus' name.
3. Lord, let there be revival of holiness, through Your Word as of old.
EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Numbers 29 - 30 & John 6
