Our Theme for the day: “It’s Hot Potato time” (Part 2) Turn away from fables

 

Our Devotional

 

As I was up this morning in prayer with the Lord, I sensed a deep longing in my life for a word from Him. “At this point, I’ll love to speak to our new readers of Garden Ministry. Take out time with the Lord. Early in the morning find time for you and Him in prayer, and you will be the better for it.” As I was looking up into the heavens speaking and listening to God, after some time I notice an object going across the sky at a quick speed. It was a satellite, doing the job it was built to do. As the Lord and I finished talking together, “He said to me, go back and look at second Timothy four verses two and four.” “There is something I need to show you and all my children from these texts.”

But first let us read the text, “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 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.” 2Timothy 4:2-4  

This is that message. Today we are witnessing in our land through the evil spirits of violence, distortion, boastfulness, false pride, disobedient to parents, unthankful-ness, and just outright badness as a way of life is a clear evidence of what it was like in the days of Noah. The Bible says, “Every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Genesis 6:5. But this was and still is the outgrowth of a people who have forgotten God. Have you ever asked your-self what led the people of Noah’s day to a place of no return, and what is leading the people today in the same direction? The answer is simple; they listened to false teachers and preachers who had turned the truth of God into a lie. The Bible teaches that no one is to put truth to the torture by cheap imaginings, by putting a forced, mystical construction upon it. If they do, they are in danger of turning the truth of God into a lie.

There are those who need in their hearts the touch of the divine Spirit. Then the message for this time will be their burden. They will not search for human tests, for something new and strange. As the people of Noah’s day had a test, and to those who heeded where saved. So it is that God has a test for His people in these last days. The Sabbath of the fourth commandment is the test for this time.   There is among young men a burning desire to get hold of something new, even though it is of the cheapest quality. The Lord would not have the mind dwell on unprofitable nothings, seeking for what it will never find. He desires us to seek for a pure, clean soul, a soul washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb. It is the white robe of Christ's righteousness that gives the sinner admittance into the presence of the heavenly angels. Not the color of his hair, but his perfect obedience to all God's commandments, opens to him the gates of the Holy City. The people of God must move to the high road if they are to be saved. The high road is the right road, not the cheap road which leads to death. Let us take the high road today.

 

Join us next time for another ray of sunshine from Garden Ministry.

 

Our Prayer for today:

Lord on this bless morning we ask that you will take us to the

high road, and keep us there in Jesus name.
