*WISDOM FOR TODAY.*
*DO NOT NEGOTIATE GOD.*
*Scripture Treasure.*
Matthew 16:23 *But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.*
*Insight and Highlight.*
If what you do or say is not glorifying God, it is glorifying the devil.
*Scripture Commentaries.*
The propensity for every human being to hear what suits him/her is more than to hear the truth.
Not everyone loves the truth. There are more people who hate the truth than those who love it.
The truth may not make you feel good when you hear it, but heed to it, it will keep your soul good for Heaven.
There are life’s treasures, delights, and entertainment that make us feel good but are not good for our souls.
Never negotiate God for anything in this life. It is not worth it.
Jesus says in Mark 8:36 *For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?*
Jesus is saying here that a man can gain the whole world and feel good while he lives, but his soul is at a great loss
There are things that are pleasing to us now but are leading souls to hell.
Paul warns us against preaching other than the true gospel. He said that even if it is an angel, *"....let him be accursed.*
He further said there is a possibility that one might be exposed to *"...other gospel..... than that ye have received."*, Gal 1:8-9.
How true it is that the truth is negotiated for lies and how true it is that we negotiate God for our comfort.
How truth can be distrurbing to our ears and lies like melodies in our ears!
Jesus teaches, saying that what you teach can determine whether you see or not, and those who hear you would be as blind as you are if they are unable to discern the truth.
It tells us that gullible people can be led astray and they will become as their leaders. Jesus said in Matt 15:14
*Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.*
There is a dangerous precedence at work today.
We must be careful that we do not negotiate our souls. Every day, we draw closer to our eternal destiny of heaven or hell.
The devil is doing so much to lead this generation into the ditch and ultimately to hell.
Be ever ready to learn. Be a friend of God. Prepare yourself to be in His presence. Do not negotiate it.
Keep your soul, prepared for Heaven at last.
*Remorse corner.*
God teaches and cares too much about your soul than to make you hear what will make you feel good and take you to hell.
*Call to Word action.*
Prov 20:17 *Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards, his mouth shall be filled with gravel.*
*The Christian clarion duty*
Whatever we do that does not glorify God will glorify the devil.
*Prayer.*
Lord, help me. Let me not negotiate You for anything, in Jesus name.
Good morning all and have a blessed day today.
God bless you.
