VIOLATING THE LAW OF KINDS? – Friday January 20th 2017
Memorise: And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. Genesis 6:6
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There
were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the
sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to
them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And
God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that
every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually.
6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Bible in one year: Mark 10:11, Isaiah 16:12-17:14
MESSAGE:
Our God is light, and in Him there is no space for the slightest speck of darkness (1st John 1:5).
Those who profess having His nature cannot therefore harbour any
element of darkness in them! Right from the beginning, the Lord caused
there to be a clear distinction between light and darkness. After He
commanded light to be, the next thing He did was to separate the light
from the darkness, and He gave them distinct names to avoid any form of
confusion (Genesis 1:4-5).
Through these actions, God has established a template for those who
profess His name to be separate from darkness. Just as God called light
out of darkness at the beginning, He has also called us out of the
darkness of this world into His marvellous light (1st Peter 2:9, 2nd Corinthians 4:9). Having called us out, the next thing He did was to separate us from darkness, and then He gave us a unique identity (Colossians 1:13). Having done all these things, this one thing He demands of us: that we remain separate (2nd Corinthians 6:17).
As a believers in Christ, you have nothing in common with unbelievers.
Your responsibility to them is to lead them to the true light. Believers
are a kind and unbelievers are another kind (2nd Corinthians 6:14-16).
When believers begin to mate, fraternise and fellowship with
unbelievers, they violate the law of kinds and evoke God’s anger.
When
there is a cross-breed of goat and dog, violating the law of kinds,
what do you think will be the result? It will be a beast. The end
product is usually strange, detestable and something abominable. Some
people erroneously believe that God understands cross-breeds. No, He
doesn’t. Open Heavens Devotional Friday 20 January 2017:- Violating the
law of kinds? He hates such with despicable firmness. In ancient times,
the devil sowed the idea of cross-breeding. He caused fallen angels to
mate with women, and he polluted the entire earth with the breed
resulting from this aberration; all in an attempt to block the emergence
of the seed of the woman earlier prophesied in Genesis 3:15.
This brought so much grief to God to the extent that He decided to wipe
out the whole human race. Today, when men mate with men or women mate
with women, they violate the law of kinds established by God and cause
Him grief. Also, when a man goes for gender-reassignment surgery to take
on the features of a woman, develop breasts and even attempt to
conceive, he is violating the law of kinds. In what ways are you
violating the law of kinds today? Repent and straighten your crooked
path! Cut off from that unequal yoke so that God can receive you. Pastor

that advocates of the recent gay rights movement will receive God’s
mercy. Pray that God will open their eyes to the truth of His word, and
that His word will prevail.
