A FUTURE LOOK

9“When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there. 10For example, never sacrifice your son or daughter as a burnt offering. And do not let your people practice fortune-telling, or use sorcery, or interpret omens, or engage in witchcraft, 11or cast spells, or function as mediums or psychics, or call forth the spirits of the dead. 12Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord. It is because the other nations have done these detestable things that the Lord your God will drive them out ahead of you. 13But you must be blameless before the Lord your God. 14The nations you are about to displace consult sorcerers and fortune-tellers, but the Lord your God forbids you to do such things.”

Deuteronomy 18:9-14

People want to know the future. Most newspapers carry horoscopes and predictions by self-proclaimed future-tellers. There are even “psychic hotlines” to call. These people make a living because there’s a market.

This section of Scripture highlights laws for ruling the nation of Israel. It covers the usual civil regulations, such as instructions on judges, the courts, and the king. But right smack in the middle are guidelines about the occult.

All citizens will find something here: responsibility to vote; responsibility of leaders; and balancing justice with mercy.

The Israelites were naturally curious about the occult practices of the Canaanite religions. They may have thought, What’s wrong with checking it out? or It won’t hurt to dabble in it just a little. But Satan is behind the occult, and God flatly forbade Israel to have anything to do with it (Deuteronomy 18:9-14).

Today, people are still fascinated by horoscopes, fortune-telling, Ouija boards, witchcraft, and even satanic cults. Often their interest arises from a desire to know and control the future. What’s the harm? they may think. But Satan is no less dangerous today than he was in Moses’ time. God tells us all we need to know about what is going to happen. We don’t need to turn to occult sources for faulty information; instead we should seek the trustworthy guidance of the Holy Spirit through the Bible and the church.

PRAYER

Lord guide me from errors of this generation, that I will not join the multitude to Sin against you in the name of Jesus!

Give me a daily insight into your plans for the future in the name of Jesus!

Christian’s Victory

1Jn. 5:4

First, the text speaks of a GREAT VICTORY-the victory of victories-the greatest of all (Christian’s Victory). We know there have been great battles where nations have met in strife, and one has overcome the other; but who has read of a victory that over came the world? Some will say that Alexander was its conqueror; but I answer, nay. He was himself the vanquished man, even when all things were in his possession. He fought for the world, and won it; and then mark how it mastered its master, conquered its conquerer, and lashed the monarch who had been its scourge. See the royal youth weeping, and stretching out his hands with idiotic cries, for another world which he might ravage. He seemed, in outward show, to have overcome old earth; but, in reality, within his inmost soul, the earth had conquered him, had overwhelmed him, had wrapped him in the dream of ambition, girdled him with the chains of covetousness, so that when he had all, he was still dissatisfied; and, like a poor slave, was dragged on at the chariot wheels of the world, crying, moaning, lamenting, because he could not win another. Who is the man that ever overcame the world? Let him stand forward: he is a Triton among the minnows; he shall outshine Cæsar; he shall outmatch even our own lately departed Wellington, if he can say he has overcome the world. It is so rare a thing, a victory so prodigious, a conquest so tremendous, that he who can claim to have won it may walk among his fellows, like Saul, with head and shoulders far above them. He shall command our respect; his very presence shall awe us into reverence; his speech shall persuade us to obedience; and, yielding honour to whom honour is due, we’ll say when we listen to his voice, “‘Tis even as if an angel shook his wings.”I shall now attempt to expand the idea I have suggested, showing you in what varied senses the Christian overcomes the world. A tough battle, sirs, I warrant you: not one which carpet knights might win: no easy skirmish that he might win, who dashed to battle on some sunshiny day, looked at the host, then turned his courser’s rein, and daintily dismounted at the door of his silken tent-not one which he shall gain, who, hut a raw recruit to-day, puts on his regimentals, and foolishly imagines that one week of service will ensure a crown of glory. Nay, sirs, it is a life-long war-a fight needing the power of all these muscles, and this strong heart; a contest which shall want all our strength, if we are to be triumphant; and if we do come off more than conquerors, it shall be said of us, as Hart said of Jesus Christ: “He had strength enough and none to spare;” a battle at which the stoutest heart might quail; a fight at which the braves might shake, if he did not remember that the Lord is on his side, and therefore, whom shall he fear? He is the strength of his life; of whom shall he be afraid? This fight with the world is not one of main force, or physical might; if it were, we might soon win it; but it is all the more dangerous from the fact that it is a strife of mind, a contest of heart, a struggle of the spirit, a strife of the soul. When we overcome the world in one fashion, we have not half done our work; for the world is a Proteus, changing its shape continually; like the chameleon, it hath all the colours of the rainbow; and when you have worsted the world in one shape, it will attack you in another. Until you die, you will always have fresh appearances of the world to wrestle with.

But IJn.5:4 gave us an assurance that  Christianity will certainly triumph over the world through the victory of Cross, just by: Regeneration, Reposition and Restitution as becoming Sons and daughters of God.

It Sunday morning, rise up early and prepare to attend a Bible believing Church closer to you.

Whose Father is He?

“`A beggar came asking for food. I told him to come around to the back door and asked him to sit on the floor while I went in to bring the left over food.

I brought him food & said, let’s pray. Now repeat after me, “Our FATHER in Heaven”. He said, “Your Father in Heaven”. I said.”No, say OUR FATHER in Heaven”. He again said, “Your Father in Heaven”!!!

This extremely Irritated me! I asked why do you say ‘Your’ father when I say ‘Our’ FATHER?’

He said, “Sir, it’s like this. If I say Our FATHER, then we both become brothers. If we are brothers, you would invite me in through the front door and not the back; you would ask me to sit at your dining table not on the floor; you’d also not give me stale food! Sir, somehow it’s not possible that we are sons of the same father”!

He may be your Father, but he can’t be OUR father!

Whose FATHER is He?

It took a beggar to teach me the truth!!!“`

GOD becomes our FATHER when we treat one another as brothers and sisters.

THE PROBLEM OF SIN

Teacher’s Guide

A teacher is he who knows the way, goes the way and then teach the way to others…

THE LESSON OBJECTIVES

The purpose of this lesson is to introduce the concept of sin and evil to participants so that they understand the need for salvation in Jesus Christ. When the lesson is over, each group member will ideally understand that:

  • Sin is any deviation from God’s perfect standards of righteousness. It includes actions, words, and thoughts.
  • Everybody is a sinner as a result of the sin of Adam. Nobody is righteous or good in God’s eyes.
  • The consequence of sin is eternal separation from God in hell.
  • There is a solution to the problem.

When the study is over, each participant will hopefully understand his or need for some kind of forgiveness or intervention on God’s part to alleviate the problem of sin.

Opening Dialogue (Allow roughly 5 minutes)

Discussion Prompt 1: Based on your observations of the world, do you think most people are basically good or basically bad?

This question is intended to determine some general attitudes about good and evil within the group. Most of your participants are likely to say that most people are generally good, simply because this is the prevailing cultural point of view. When group members respond that way, it is a good opportunity to segue into the following question. Make sure to challenge people to defend their points of view: What evidence do they have that most people are good or bad?

Discussion Prompt 2: What do you think is the underlying cause for all the suffering in the world?

This question will be especially helpful if most of your participants believe that people are generally good. If people are basically good, then where does evil come from? How do we explain events like the Holocaust or the Rwandan genocide or destruction in the Middle East or other displays of evil on a grand scale? Are other factors involved, or are people truly prone to bad deeds in their natural state?

Express your viewpoint as a facilitator. Introduce the idea that people are inherently sinful by nature. What do your group members think? Explain why you think the evidence demonstrates that people are not naturally good.

Definition (Allow about 10 minutes for this section)

Discussion Prompt 1: How would you define the word “sin”?

The point here is to simply get different answers regarding the meaning of sin. Is it the transgression of a cultural taboo, violation of one’s own conscience, or disobedience to God’s perfect standards of righteousness. Some of your group members may not believe in the concept of sin and may argue for the relativity of good and evil. Explore this concept a bit: What are the practical ramifications if there are not definite standards for good and evil? This will lead into the next question.

Discussion Prompt 2: What makes and action “right” or “wrong”? Who has the authority to judge between good and evil?

This question will naturally flow from the first one in this section. Some people will probably feel that right and wrong are simply societal constructs designed to preserve the power of the government or the ruling class. Others may feel that right and wrong are simply based upon what makes us feel good or bad emotionally. A few may actually believe that there are absolute standards of right and wrong. One way to press the issue is to find an extreme case. In other words, if a person believes that right and wrong are simply societal constructs, how can we absolutely condemn the actions of a serial killer like Dennis Rader? Is there a setting in which such behavior would be acceptable? Is genocide acceptable as long as the ruling government condones it? Is it okay if every government in the world favors genocide or turned a blind eye? If not, then why not?

If right and wrong are purely individual concepts, based on conscience and personal preference, then what are the ramifications of such a viewpoint? Is it wrong for one person to indulge his sexual desire by raping and murdering another, simply because it makes the offender feel good? Why or why not? On what basis can we call a sociopath’s version of morality incorrect if there is no absolute standard?

Thoughts from the Bible (Allow about 20 minutes for this section)

Discussion Prompt 1 (after reading the passages listed): According to the Bible, are people basically good or basically bad? Do you agree?

After reading the passages, it should be clear that the Bible supports the idea that people are basically evil because of the sin nature. Get the thoughts of your group. Does this seem like a reasonable idea or an unreasonable idea? Is everybody really a sinner?

Some people may protest that while everybody has committed sin at some point, most people have generally good intentions. Explore with them the question of how much sin makes a person a “sinner”? Is sin like a small impurity in a beautiful diamond, which is aesthetically displeasing but not truly harmful? Or is it more like a drop of poison in a bowl of soup, which is deadly even though the amount is small? In other words, does just a little bit of sin make a person unacceptable to God or not?

The biblical viewpoint from Romans 3 will support that nobody is acceptable before God.

Discussion Prompt 2: According to the Bible, what are the consequences of sin? Do you agree?

Introducing the concept of hell may be difficult. Some of your group members will no doubt find it unfair of God to condemn everybody to hell on the basis of just a little bit of sin.

It may help to review the perfect holiness of God and the absolute unacceptability of sin. Also, it may help to review some passages indicating that sin is a choice; even without the sin nature, we would have chosen sin (Romans 1:18ff). Therefore we have incurred guilt on our own; God did not make us guilty. He merely pronounces the sentence.

Another key point: If heaven is a perfect place for God’s glory to shine, then it would be a tragedy if it were populated with sinners. There must be some way to remove the sin so that it will not taint heaven.

Clearly express the idea that sin produces spiritual death and eternal separation from God.

Question to Ponder (Allow about 5 minutes)

Discussion Prompt: Assuming everybody is a sinner and sin destroys our relationship with God, do you think there is any hope for us?

This question is intended to set up the discussion of salvation during the final week. Sin seems to have left us in a hopeless situation, separated from God and unable to help ourselves. Is there any way to get around this problem? Ask your group members what they think. Perhaps they feel that sin can be overcome through education, or cultural understanding, or material wealth, or simply hard work.

Challenge everybody’s assumptions at this point. It is okay to express your viewpoint that human effort seems insufficient, since everybody is a sinner. It makes no sense for sinful people to try to solve their own sin problem, especially if our entire being is shot through with sin.

CHARACTER ASSASSINATION

One mistake you should never make is to allow yourself to be recruited by someone, to hate another person who hasn’t wronged you.
Hear this: “ We must avoid taking hasty conclusion because of what others are saying about someone else“.

What people say about others, says a lot about them. I am repeating this more directly: The things you say about others, says a lot about you! I can tell a lot about a person by what they choose to see in others.

Character assassination is a pervasive and destructive phenomenon that is found everywhere. You find it in families, churches, organizations, work places, etc.

Wikipedia defines Character assassination as the deliberate, malicious, unjustified and sustained effort to damage the reputation or credibility of an individual.

The Merriam-Webster defines it as the slandering of a person usually with the intention of destroying public confidence in that person.

Athi Murugan defines “Character Assassination” as the act of lowering one’s character in a bid to ruin the character of others.

There are people that take maximum delight in ruining other’s reputation. These set of people have what I will like to call ‘Destructive Tendencies’. They oil their own ego by pulling other people down. PhD(pull him down).

False allegations are the most chronic form of mental abuse. When people can’t kill your dreams and purpose, they will try to assassinate your character. There are some people that your spirit will always irritate their demons! Once they realize hating isn’t working they start telling and spreading lies about you. People are assassinated once but ‘Character Assassination’ kills daily! Character assassination is a form of emotional violence against others.

Someone once said, “A friend of my enemy is my enemy.” One of the things that hinders us from living a fulfilling and inclusive life is bringing past bias and sentiments into present relationships. A friend of your enemy is not necessarily your enemy; it all depends on intentions and contributions. God can use your enemy’s friend to bless you!

7 critical ‘DON’Ts’ that you really need to guard yourself against.
Refusing to getting trapped in them will help you live a more productive, fulfilling and unbiased life. They are:

  1. Don’t conclude about people because of what others say about them: Never draw up conclusions based on what others tell you about someone. It is a lack of social intelligence that makes people draw conclusions on others based on what other people say about them. I know you’ve heard about emotional and financial intelligence, but there is something called social intelligence. This is the kind of intelligence that keeps you sane even when others are trying to pollute your mind against someone else until you have thoroughly confirmed the veracity of the claims before you. Judges are trained to have this kind of intelligence in order to avoid biased judgments. 2. Don’t inherit other people’s enemy: It is total lack of education and enlightenment when you automatically make your friend’s enemies your own. Don’t make people your enemies just because they are not in good terms with your friends. 3. Don’t use your children as weapons of war:
    God can use your enemies to bless your children! The Bible says that your children are for signs and wonders. Stop using them to fight those you don’t like. Your children will need to discern their enemies for themselves; never use your parental influence to make your children hate others. You may often need to guard them with their choice of friends but never plant the seed of discord in the heart of your children against someone else. 4. Don’t gang up with others to hate someone: Don’t join the majority to hate someone – you may realize that the person has no offence. Someone said, “If you don’t see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears. Don’t invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth”. Never join the multitude to hate someone else. 5. Don’t be used as weapon in other people’s battle: It is not every battle that you must involve yourself in. Refuse to be used as weapons in other people’s battle. When people fight dirty, refuse to take sides. Observe deeply before concluding finally. 6. Don’t hate people just because they don’t behave like you: That someone is not your tribe doesn’t make them your enemy. It is a waste of education if the only people you like are those that are like you. The greatest proof of our education is in how we respond to people whose opinions are different from ours. People who think their opinions are superior to others are most prone to overestimating their relevant knowledge and ignoring chances to learn more.
    The people who don’t think like you are your greatest source of enlightenment. It is normally people that are not like us that help us grow the most. Companies that had maximized growth are really those that value diversity and inclusion. 7. Don’t judge people until you know the whole story: Someone once said, “Beware of the half-truth. You may have gotten hold of the wrong half”. Don’t judge other people’s choices without understanding their reasons.
    If people say something bad about you or judge you as if they know you, don’t easily get affected. Remember this, dogs bark if they don’t know the person. People who are intimidated by you talk about you with hopes that others won’t find you so appealing.

Stay away from people who talk bad about others daily; these kind of people carry a negative spirit, and a negative spirit is contagious. The real problem is not that they are unhappy about others, but they are unhappy with themselves.

Stop the destructive habit of talking about people behind their back. Talking badly about someone else while they aren’t there to defend themselves says more about you than the person you’re talking about. When you have issues with people, try and discuss it with them. Stop discussing it with others. Someone once said, “Don’t talk about me until you have talked to me”. Stop spreading false information and rumours about others.

Engaging others to hate your enemy is witchcraft and joining others to hate their enemy is stupidity of the highest order

Rumours are carried by haters, spread by fools and accepted by idiots! Stop creating walls of contention, rather help build bridges of understanding among people. May God help us All in Jesus Christ name, Amen.
