LOSING A DEAL – Friday November 10th 2017
Memorise:
And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of
the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when
he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Isaiah 2:19
2:18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
2:19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
2:20 In
that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold,
which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the
bats;
2:21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
2:22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?
MESSAGE:
The
Almighty God is not only a God of love and mercy but also a God to be
feared. One reason why you ought to fear Him is that He can only bless
you, but He can also turn your blessing into a curse. In Malachi 2:2, something went amiss among the priests and God had this to say:
“If
ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory
unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon
you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already,
because ye do not lay it to heart”
When
you refuse to ascribe to God the glory due to His Name, or when you do
not use the blessing God has given you to glorify Him, you may be
provoking Him to turn that blessing into a curse. May God not curse your
blessings in Jesus’ Name! This is why you must do all that is within
your power to obey God always.
Action Point
God has had to shut some doors because the beneficiaries were not ready to do what He wanted them to do with the open doors.

hymn 3
1. O LORD my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hand hath made;
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed:
Chorus:
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
2. When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,
And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze:
Chorus:
3. And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die - I scarce can take it in:
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin:
Chorus:
4. When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home - what joy shall fill my heart!
Then shall I bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God how great Thou art!
Chorus.
