Septemberc 22, 2018 UCB Word for today Daily Devotional : Topic - Stand against discrimination

- , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Stand against discrimination

22 SEPTEMBER 2018
‘Their widows were being discriminated against.’
Acts 6:1 NLT

The Bible says: ‘As the believers rapidly multiplied, there were rumblings of discontent. The Greek-speaking believers complained about the Hebrew-speaking believers, saying that their widows were being discriminated against in the daily distribution of food.’ Why? Because they were outsiders. 

These women didn’t grow up in Judea or Galilee. They hailed from the distant lands of Greece, Rome, and Syria. If they spoke Aramaic at all, they did so with an accent. Consequently, they were ‘neglected’ (NKJV). The manager of the food pantry gave Hebrew women the first pick. 
The food bank director separated requests into two stacks: locals and immigrants. How did the church respond? ‘The Twelve [apostles] called a meeting of all the believers’ (v. 2 NLT). Have you ever been to a meeting of ‘believers’ called to deal with those who are ‘being discriminated against’? Why did the apostles call such a meeting? Because of the example Jesus set from the very outset of His ministry: ‘And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written…’ (Luke 4:17 KJV). 
That day He announced the six things that God had sent Him to do: 
1) Preach the gospel to the poor. 
2) Heal the broken-hearted. 
3) Proclaim liberty to the captives. 
4) Proclaim recovery of sight to the blind. 
5) Set at liberty those who are oppressed. 
6) Proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. That was the year of Jubilee when all prisoners were set free, all debts forgiven, and all that was taken from you was restored. Jesus meets every need: body, soul, and spirit. And that’s the message you’ve been called to share with others.
Isaiah 39-40, Philippians 1
