THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!
Today's Focus: Get it now, DIVINE principles are OPPOSITE to HUMAN principles and you have got to OBEY them to GET divine results!
Oh Child of God, do you not KNOW that your God and Father, the Creator and Owner of Heaven and Earth's principles are OPPOSITE to human principles?
So, why are you as a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World thinking, speaking and living by HUMAN principles instead of DIVINE principles? Why?
It is unfortunate to see lots of genuine Christians today:
1. Looking forward to achieve DIVINE results with HUMAN principles driven WAYS OF THINKING, which are opposite to DIVINE principles driven WAYS OF THINKING in Christ in this World. So sad, so bad, because it cannot even please God, not to talk of producing divine results. True! (Romans 8:1-14).
2. Looking forward to achieve DIVINE results with HUMAN principles driven WAYS OF SPEAKING, which are opposite to DIVINE principles driven WAYS OF SPEAKING in Christ in this World. So sad, so bad, because it cannot even please God, talkless of producing divine results. True! (James 3).
3. Looking forward to achieve DIVINE results with HUMAN principles driven WAYS OF LIVING, which are opposite to DIVINE principles driven WAYS OF LIVING in Christ in this World. So sad, so bad, because it cannot even please God, not to talk of producing divine results. True! (1 John 2:15-17).
For example:
1. Concerning WEAKNESS (or sickness), divine principle says:
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: LET the WEAK say, I am STRONG. (Joel 3:10).
This is contrary to human principle in all obvious sense. True!
2. Concerning INCREASE, divine principle says:
There is that SCATTERS, and yet INCREASES; and there is that withholds more than is meet, but it tends to poverty. The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that sells it. (Proverbs 11:24).
This is contrary to human principle in all obvious sense. True!
3. Concerning CAST DOWN, divine principle says:
When men are CAST DOWN, then you shall say, there is LIFTING UP; and he shall save the humble person. (Job 22:29).
This is contrary to human principle in all obvious sense. True!
4. Concerning WALKING on Earth, divine principle says:
For we walk by FAITH, not by SIGHT. (2 Corinthians 5:7).
And so on.
That is why Apostle Paul warned us thus:
Beware lest any man SPOIL you through philosophy and vain deceit, AFTER the tradition of men, AFTER the rudiments of the world, and NOT AFTER Christ. For in Him dwells ALL the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And you are COMPLETE in Him, which is the Head of ALL principality and power: (Colossians 2:8-10).
The truth to be told, many genuine Christians have proudly found this biblically counsel challenging to compile with in this World:
Let NO man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be WISE in this World, let him BECOME a FOOL, that he may be wise. For the WISDOM of this World is FOOLISHNESS with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness. And again, the Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. (1 Corinthians 3:18).
Are you one them?
Don't be deceived,
1. Until you "foolishly" align your THINKING from human principles ways of thinking to divine principles ways of thinking, you cannot encounter and experience divine REST and BEST in Christ for you in this World. True!
That is why Apostle Paul counselled us thus:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be NOT conformed to this World: but be you transformed by the RENEWING of your MIND, that you may PROVE what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, WILL of God. (Romans 12:1,2; Philippians 4:8,9).
Take note, take heed!
2. Until you "foolishly" align your SPEAKING from human principles ways of speaking to divine principles ways of speaking, you cannot encounter and experience divine REST and BEST in Christ for you in this World. True!
That is why the Bible revealed us thus:
This book of the law shall NOT depart out of your MOUTH; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success. (Joshua 1:8; Matthew 12:34-37; James 3).
Take note, take heed!
3. Until you "foolishly" align your LIVING from human principles ways of living to divine principles ways of living, you cannot encounter and experience divine REST and BEST in Christ for you in this World. True!
That is why Apostle John counselled us thus:
Love NOT the World, neither the things that are in the World. If any man LOVE the WORLD, the love of the Father is NOT in him. For all that is in the World, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is NOT of the Father, but is of the World. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abides for ever. (1 John 2:15-17).
Take note, take heed!
Don't be deceived, CHRISTIANITY practice is not HUMAN principles driven in man and Satan, but DIVINE principles driven in Christ. True!
Now, know and note that the word REPENT means CHANGE of mind or thinking. Therefore, it is saddening to say that while lots of genuine Christians have STAYED away from their SINS morally before men, many have not truly REPENTED (changed their thinking) from human principles to divine principles mentally before God. Thus, the powerless, purposeless and unproductive Christianity practice of today in the World. So sad, so bad!
Are you one of them?
Then, it is TIME to REPENT (change or renew your mind or thinking with the Word of God and help of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you). (Ephesians 5:15-18).
God sees you as a WICKED and UNRIGHTEOUS person when you are thinking, speaking and living contrary to His principles (Word, Ways and Will) in Christ for you in this World. True! (Isaiah 55:6-12).
Always remember that the FOOLISHNESS of God is WISER than men; and the WEAKNESS of God is STRONGER than men. For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: BUT God has CHOSEN the FOOLISH things of the World to confound the WISE; and God has CHOSEN the WEAK things of the World to confound the things which are MIGHTY; And BASE things of the World, and things which are DESPISED, has God CHOSEN, yes, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That NO flesh should glory (boast) in His presence. But of Him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glories (boasts), let him glory in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 1:25-31).
Today's Focus from Scripture:
Seek you the LORD while He may be found, call you upon Him while He is near: Let the WICKED forsake his way, and the UNRIGHTEOUS man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. For MY thoughts are not YOUR thoughts, neither are YOUR ways MY ways, said the LORD. For as the Heavens are higher than the Earth, so are MY ways higher than YOUR ways, and MY thoughts than YOUR thoughts. For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the Earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my Word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. (Isaiah 55:6-12).
Take note, take heed!
