Topic: His Ears Are Not Dull [Friday 1, December 2017]
Memorise: “Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.” – Job 14:15
Read: Isaiah 59:1-3
1 Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
Bible In One Year: 1 Corinthians 5-9. Hymn: Sing Hymn 7: Holy Holy Holy, Lord God Almighty
MESSAGE:
Alienation or banishment is a form of punishment in which a guilty person is expelled from a region and forbidden to return. Alienation is commonly used by God in the Bible to cut off sinners from His presence. A good example is the banishment of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden as a result of their disobedience to God. I pray that you will never do anything that will cause God to cut you off from His presence in Jesus’ Name.
Christians today are daily challenging God by constantly indulging in acts that are clearly recorded as reasons for alienation in the Bible. The Presence of God departs from such Christians, making them easy targets to the devil and his agents. Indeed, the Lord’s hands are not shortened, neither are His ears heavy that He cannot hear our cry for help. Sin is always responsible for alienation from God. In what way has weakness, carelessness, and nonchalant attitude contributed to sin and immorality in your family or the Church of God? Repent and make amends today before it is too late.
Prayer Point: Father, please help me to commit myself to a life of holiness and righteousness in Jesus’ Name.
Sing Hymn 7: Holy Holy Holy, Lord God Almighty
1. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
2. Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
Who wert and art and evermore shalt be.
3. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
Though the eye made blind by sin thy glory may not see,
Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.
4. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth and sky and sea;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
