CAC LIVING WATER DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR JUNE23, 2022 : TOPIC - NO PLACE FOR IDLENESS

--> 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.

United Nations Public Service Day & International Widows Day

NO PLACE FOR IDLENESS

Read Genesis 1v3-30

Memorise: ESV:and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you,
(1 Thessalonians 4v11).

Exposition
Work is an activity that involves mental and physical efforts, done in order to achieve a purpose or result. It is a task to be undertaken. Our Heavenly Father gave us the order to work. The Bible begins with the account of God at work, working for 6 days to show us the example of what work should be. Jesus Christ, during His earthly ministry, decleared that He must do the work of His Father (Jn.9v4). The Holy spirit has been working since creation. God commanded Adam to keep the garden (Gen.2v15). After Man's fall, God sent him out of the garden, still not to be idle, but to work (Gen. 3v19). Since then, man has got work to do. Abel was a cattle-rearer, Cain a farmer, Nimrod, a hunter, Noah, a farmer, Ezra, a teacher of the Word, and Aquila and Priscilla, tentmakers, to mention but few. Even the Israelites were charged to work when they finally settled down in Cannan (Exod.20v9). The patriarchs of faith, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their descendants, all worked. Apostle Paul, also laid a good example (2 Thess. 3v7-9). Why are so many people idle today, without anything doing in particular even as today commemorates United Nations Public Service Day and International Windows Day?
An adage says, "An idle hand is the devil's workshop" There is danger for anyone who does not have anything doing with his/her hands; those would live in poverty, no matter how hard they can pray. Majority suffer in their old ages because of not working hard in their youth, when they were still agile. Anyone who chooses to be idle when he/she should achieve in life. Working has several benefits. We work to make ends meet. God is interested in us making profits after engaging in legitimate works/businesses. What are you doing with your hands now? Do not be idle. Make sure you are engaged with a godly work/business, so that you can enjoy the benefits of work, and also be one of thsoe who contributes to the growth of the world.

Prayer points
1. Lord, I committ myself into Your hands. Give me the strength to be diligent in that You give me to do.
2. Pray that God will rain His blessings upon your work/business as you go out for it, daily.
3. Pray for the unemployed that God will open doors of employment/opportunities for them.

Extra Reading for Today: Psalms 65-68

HAVE A GREAT THURSDAY AS YOU STAY SAFE 🥰 ..... SHALOM!
