Reject All Evil

May 7, 2014

Scriptural Ground

And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever (Revelation 20:10 NIV).

Prayer of Approach

Righteous God, your ways are the ways that lead to life. You want your people to walk in them. You want us to avoid those paths that lead to eternal torment. Open the eyes of your people and illumine their minds as various choices are placed before us that there may be the escape from every kind of deception provided for us. Lead us more deeply into your presence that we may discern right from wrong, good from bad, truth from lie. Place within us a desire for what enhances our relationship with you and grant us a strong revulsion for what takes us away from you. Free us from the torment that deception brings. Surround us with what is able to guard our souls from destruction.

Through the living Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, hear this prayer. Amen.

A Moment With God

It is when we see the destiny that awaits the wrongdoer that we are prepared to view all that is evil from a renewed perspective. The choice that we make to reject all evil is a choice we make in order to have a different destiny. The season of what is evil does eventually come to an end though it may seem to have reigned without restraint. There is a destiny for the one who deliberately persists in practising what is evil, in being guided by the lifestyle of deception. It is not God’s preferred destiny for us. In turning away from these things we are seeking a better destiny. We are seeking a destiny with God rather than one in which we are separated from His presence in eternity. As we consistently choose to develop our relationship with God we shall be investing in the destiny that He has prepared for us with Him in eternity.

But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue (1 Corinthians 14:19 NIV).

Prayer of Approach

Sovereign Lord, it is to be of service to others that you have placed me in your household of faith. Put before me that which you intend me to address as I seek to be an effective representative of your presence among those with whom you have called me to serve.

March 24, 2014

Scriptural Ground

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving (Colossians 3:23-24 NIV).

Prayer of Approach

Eternal God, you have granted me access to the employment that I have. You awaken me with each new day and empower me to fulfill the responsibilities that have been assigned to me. You cause me to benefit from the wor...

About the Lord


The Bible teaches that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23 NIV). It is also written that "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23 NIV). Do you know that "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16 NIV)? It is also written: "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." (1 Peter 2:24 NIV). Jesus said: "I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in" (Revelation 3:20 NIV). Dear friend, what is happening in your life? Are you experiencing the effects of sin, the evidence of death? Jesus died on the cross, bearing your sins so that you would not perish in death. Do hear His invitation to open your being and your life to Him that you may not continue to perish. Say this prayer that you may receive God's gift of eternal life right now: Lord Jesus, there is the presence of sin and the evidence of death in my life. Thank you for bearing my sins on the Cross. I need the gift of eternal life. In your Name, Lord Jesus, I do now open every door of my being and of my life to you. Come in and let me experience all that eternal life is meant to be for me. Thank you for hearing my prayer. Amen.
