Today’s Devotional…

Who else would have any interest in the salvation of the world except the one who created it in the first place? Ponder…

Could a God powerful enough to create this complex world suddenly become too weak to rescue it from destruction? Ponder

So, all-powerful God, who created the world needs help from humans (who were themselves created by Him) to save His world from sin?

Is man that powerful that he could save himself from sin yet was not powerful enough to have created himself?

Who should be more worried about the destruction of the world, the Creator or the creature? Shouldn’t the shame rather be to the Creator if all the wonderful works of His hands are destroyed? Ponder…

The idea that the salvation of man is dependent on man is an alien idea that projects God as a weak and irresponsible father who is incapable of protecting or rescuing his own children from an enemy he created.

Why create a world and abandon it to its fate of destruction? Wouldn’t that rather project hatred instead of love? Does “mother hen” leave her chicks to save themselves? How much more of your Father God who is Love?

Listen, long before the coming of Christ, the prophet Isaiah answered all these questions in one verse – our opening verse.

The saviour of the world is God, there is no one else powerful enough and loving enough to do so. And it was God’s unique responsibility as the creator of the world to save His world from sin and death. And indeed, God saved the world through Christ Jesus our Lord.

May God be praised forever and ever, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

Today’s Devotional…

Preachers of Christ are not motivational speakers, but devout men and women who preach Christ; from His birth to the cross, and to His glorification.

Nowadays, multinational speakers get so much attention and popularity that some pastors have decided to become motivational speakers, simply seasoning their talks with “a pinch of Jesus”. Laughable.

While motivational speakers are trained to say what their audiences want to hear in a bid to motivate them towards a desired direction, gospel preachers are called to preach only Christ; through whom the sin of the world was taken away.

In the days of the apostles, the world probably had more problems than we have today, and desiring to hear something motivational to solve those problems, yet, the apostles gave them nothing but the gospel of Christ.

That is what Paul was talking about in 1 Corinthians 2:1-2: “And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified”

So, whether there be financial problems, marital problems, health problems, etc, if “Christ and Him crucified” is not enough for you, then you are looking for a motivational speaker and not a pastor. But ironically, your solutions lie in the foolishness of the preaching of Christ, and not in the enticing words of your motivational speakers. Ponder…

These are the days of 2Timothy 4:3-4 which says: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables”

But if the preaching of Christ does not motivate you enough to give me attention, let it be known to you that I will still preach Christ crucified – for that is the only gospel.

May the Holy Spirit replace your hunger for motivational messages with the hunger for the gospel of the finished works of Christ, in His holy name. Amen
