MARK OF TRUE FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD
1 John 1:5-7

MEMORY VERSE: "If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth" (1 John 1:6)

Beloved, welcome to the new month! We pray that you will possess and enjoy the fullness of Christ throughout this new month in Jesus Christ Name!

Our Memory Verse in our devotional today begins with: “If we say". This refers to general profession by many of whom they are in relation to following Christ.

Anyone who claims to have fellowship with God and be following Him must know clearly that God is LIGHT, in there is no darkness in Him at all (John 1:4, 9; 8:12; 12:36; James 1:17). This means, that God is holy. His Word is the perfect truth. He is perfect in righteousness. There is no sin, ungodliness, wickedness or imperfection with God.

Thus, understand, that it is impossible to have fellowship with holiness and truth while living in sin and error. Choosing sin is the same as rejecting God, and if we reject Him how can we share with Him in anything, or claim to have fellowship with Him? See 2 Corinthians 6:14. The sorrowful fact is that there are many who claim to know the Lord who do not know Him, and they prove they do not know Him by their manner of life (Titus 1:16).

To claim to have fellowship with God and yet walk in darkness of sin, hypocrisy, deceit and unrighteousness is to be “Lying”. Anyone with this claim is either deceived or trying to deceive others. In either case their claim is utterly false.

Anyone who is truly in fellowship with the Lord, (1) is genuinely born again, (2) walks obediently in God's Word, (3) separates totally from sin and the sinful world, (4) serves the Lord in holiness within and without, (5) keeps himself totally from all defilement, (6) lives to please the Lord alone in the world, and, (7) sets his mind and focus on the things above, while (8) living in the consciousness of Christ's imminent coming for the rapture of the saints

Beloved, having read the devotional today, is your fellowship truly with the Lord?

Let us pray.

WALKING TO POSSESS THE HEAVENLY INHERITANCE THROUGH CHRIST
(1 Peter 1:3-9, 13-15)

MEMORY VERSE: "And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance" (Hebrews 9:15).

There is an heavenly inheritance for everyone who is faithfully following the Lord, and is living the life that pleases Him here on the earth, even to the very end. And, as we see in our text, this heavenly inheritance is reserved in heaven and we cannot possess it until we make it to heaven, and, without holiness no one who claims to be a child of God can get to heaven (Hebrews 12:14; 2 Corinthians 7:1; 1 Thessalonians 3:13; 4:7; 1 Peter 1:15, 16).

We can only become kingdom citizen through grace of God, as we repent of our sins and accept Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior.

Apart from being born again by grace, we are sanctified by grace through faith (Acts 20:32). We must, thus, continue to walk in uncompromising holy living, within and without, until we meet the Lord Jesus Christ in the sky at the rapture of the saints (Ephesians 1:3, 11-18; Hebrews 9:15; 1 Peter 1:3-5).

The inheritance that is reserved for us in heaven is: (1) Eternal inheritance (Hebrews 9:15); (2) Incorruptible inheritance (1 Peter 1:3, 4). (3) Undefiled inheritance (1 Peter 1:4). (4) Inheritance that cannot fade away (1 Peter 1:4; 5:4). (5) Glorious inheritance (Romans 8:17; Ephesians 1:18); (6) Everlasting inheritance (Matthew 19:29; 25:34); (7) Magnificent and incomparable inheritance (1 Peter 1:4, 5; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10). This inheritance can only be yours if you make it to heaven. Anyone that misses heaven will not have access to this inheritance.

And, to make it to heaven you must: (1) be born again and made a new creature in Christ Jesus (John 3:2, 3; Acts 2:3; Romans 10:9, 10; John 1:12); (2) be sanctified and made pure through the supreme sacrifice of Jesus on the cross of Calvary (Hebrews 13:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:23); (3) live a life of holiness daily without compromise (Romans 12:1; Isaiah 35:8); (4) have daily self denial and discipline (Matthew 16:24-26; 1 Peter 2:11; Matthew 5:29). (5) maintain consistent fellowship with the Lord and his children ( 1 Corinthians 1:9; Acts 2:42; 1 John 1:6, 7); (6) Make all necessary restitutions and maintain a clear conscience void of offence towards God and man (Luke 19:8; Acts 24:16). (7) Be faithful to God in secret and in the open (1 Corinthians 4:17).

We pray earnestly today that you will serve the Lord faithfully till you meet Him in the sky at the rapture of the saints, and you will not lose any of your rewards in Jesus Christ Name!

Let us pray.

JUDGEMENT IN THE VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT
(Joel 3:1-16)

MEMORY VERSE: "Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision" (Joel 3:14).

Welcome to the devotional. As we see in our text, the devotional today is from Chapter 3 of the Book of Joel. The Chapter talks about God's plan for Israel in the last days, and, the judgement of God coming upon the unrepentant people after the Rapture of the saints.

First, God promises to deliver and restore back the children of Israel from captivity (Joel 3:1). This restoration of Israel will see Israel experiencing both physical and spiritual prosperity (Amos 9:14, 15; Isaiah 2:1-4; 40:9-11; 44:1-5; Jeremiah 31:35-40; Zechariah 14:8-11).

Some of these great promises are already coming to pass, as the Jews are returning back to the land of Israel in great numbers, while a larger portion of the promises will be fulfilled at the end of the antichrist rule, when the Lord delivers Israel and reigns down mighty restoration upon them (Ezekiel 37:15-27; Hosea 2:14-23)

As the Lord delivers and restores Israel, so He will gather every nation, who have maltreated Israel, and all those who rejected Him, together and judge them in the valley of Judgement. The valley of Judgement is called the "valley of Jehoshaphat" (Joel 3:2). It is also called the "valley of decision" (Joel 3:14).

The Word 'Jehoshaphat' means 'the Lord Judges', pointing to the judgement of the Lord fiercely coming upon the nations of the earth, on that day - the day of the LORD (Zechariah 12:3).

Israel was treated like slaves by those who conquered her (Joel 3:3; Obadiah 1:11). Particular among those nations were Tyre and Sidon which horribly maltreated Israel, and yet rejected God and His offer of mercy. God will judge them for their horrible deeds (Joel 3:4-8; Isaiah 23:1, 2).

While Tyre and Sidon will be judged by the Lord, God will also punished the Gentiles who rejected the Lord Jesus Christ and His offer of salvation (Joel 3:9-12). These Gentile nations rely on their possessions, human power, weapons of war, and carnal wisdom.

There are many, today, who rely on their physical achievement, possession, wealth, arsenal of war, etc. They reject the Lord, but put their trust in their scientific, technological and biological discoveries. They shall be defeated and be judged by God at the valley of decision and their weapons, wherein they trust will not save them at all (Joel 3:14-16a). The roaring of the Lord shall destroy them all: they shall not escape (Joel 3:16a; Hebrews 12:26).

While the people who reject the Lord will be judged by God, those in Israel who have turned to Him and have accepted Christ as their Saviour and Lord will be secured in Christ, for "the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel" (Joel 3:16b).

Drawing out from this, true believers who put their trust in the Lord, and are serving Him in holiness and righteousness, need not fear at all. Through the rapture of the saints, they shall be saved from the "day of the Lord" that is coming upon the evil doers after the Rapture. They shall be with Christ in heaven, and reign with Him on the earth for a thousand years (Psalm 2:12; 5:11; Zechariah 12:8, 9; Revelation 20:6)!

Let us pray.

TUESDAY (13/08/24)

'FLOURISHING ON EVERY SIDE' DAILY DEVOTIONAL
(For individuals, groups and families)

Devotion from the Book of Joel (5)

THE PROMISE OF THE OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
(Joel 2:28-32)

MEMORY VERSE: "For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence" (Acts 1:5)

When anyone, turns truly to the Lord, surrender his life totally to Christ, and serves the Lord in true holiness and righteousness, God's promise to him is: he "shall never be ashamed" (Joel 2:27).

Also, God promises, that in the last days, "I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit" (Joel 2:28, 29).

The outpouring of the Spirit will be "in the last days" (Joel 2:28). The "last days" refer to the time from the First Coming of Christ, and continue, at least, until His Second Coming (John 6:39; 11:24; 2 Timothy 3:1; 1 Peter 1:20; 2 Peter 3:3; 1 John 2:18; Jude 1:18).

And, when God pours His Spirit upon His people, there will be powerful charismatic flow of the gifts of prophecy, revelation, and manifestation of miracles, signs and wonders (Joel 2:28-30a).

And, when charismatic gifts powerfully manifest in the lives of Spirit-filled believers, the awesome, supernatural presence of God is greatly witnessed by His people. For example, Paul the Apostle declares that if the church prophesies, an unbelieving visitor will declare an "report that God is in you of a truth" (1 Corinthians 14:24, 25).

Also, note clearly that, the promise of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit was never to be a one-time event. Rather, it would be an ongoing promise to everyone who accepts Christ as Saviour and Lord. This means, every true believer can, and should be filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38, 39; 10:44-48; 11:15-18).

The outpouring of the Holy Spirit will result in the great surge of mighty miracles, signs and wonders, in these last days, and, great manifestation of end-time cosmic signs (Joel 2:30, 31), and of the "day of the Lord" (Matthew 24:29-31). The "day of the Lord" begins immediately after the Rapture of the saints. It will be the time of the outpouring of God's wrath upon everyone who rejects the Lord Jesus Christ, and thread under foot His finished work on the cross at Calvary.

Believers, today, must know that we are closer to the moment of the coming of the Lord more than ever before, and the day of the Lord is at the door.

And, to escape the "day of the Lord", we must, keep ourselves from sin and abhor it totally, abide firmly in the Lord, be committed to holy living within and without, love the Lord and His Holy Word more and more, be always 'somewhere working for the Lord', be watchful all the time, and, be prepared in readiness for the coming of Christ.

Finally, we must daily call on the Name of the Lord for His grace, help and strengthening in the heavenly race. For, "it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered" (Joel 2:32).

Let us pray.

MONDAY (12/08/24)

'FLOURISHING ON EVERY SIDE' DAILY DEVOTIONAL
(For individuals, groups and families)

PROMISE DELIVERANCE AND RESTORATION FOR THE TRULY REPENTANT
Joel 2:18-27

MEMORY VERSE: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls" (Matthew 11:28, 29).

Welcome to the Bread of Life. In the past weeks, we have been breaking the Bread together from the Book of Joel. And, in the Book of Joel, we saw God urgently calling the children of Israel to genuine repentance and returning back unto Him (Joel 2:12-17).

Also, as He called the children of Israel at that time, so He is calling everyone today to turn away from sin, be cleansed in the Calvary's Blood, and surrender totally unto He Jesus Christ as the Lord and Saviour (Ezekiel 18:30-32; Isaiah 55:6, 7; Acts 17:30, 31).

God commands everyone (sinners, backsliders, hypocrites, the worldly, the compromising, the rising and falling, the neither-hot-nor-cold, and, the complacent) to truly repent, be genuinely converted, and serve Him in true holiness and righteousness (Mark 1:15; 6:12; Luke 24:47; Matthew 3:8; Acts 3:19, 20).

When the children of Israel truly repent and turn back to God, then God will rise Arise with pity for them as "his people" (Joel 2:18), and bring them again into the destiny that He planned for them and their land (Joel 2:19). When the Bible talks about God being "jealous for his land" (Joel 2:18), it is not talking about the sinful jealousy and envy of the carnal, but about God's holy, fiery zeal to see His righteousness and true holiness and His covenant accomplished in the lives of His people (Isaiah 26:11).

True repentance and genuine conversion would bring great, indescribable blessings to every people. To the people of Judah, (1) They would be delivered from their enemy's invasion ("the northern army"(Joel 2:20). The Lord will destroy the wicked who rose up against them. (2) Their reproach and mockery shall be taken away (Joel 2:19b), (3) Joy and jubilation will return to the land (Joel 2:21, 23). (4) Barreness and desolation shall be taken away (Joel 2:22, 24). (5) There shall be powerful recovery and restoration (Joel 2:25). (6) There will be plenteousness of God's blessings in their midst (Joel 2:26). (7) Praises and testimonies will fill their mouth (Joel 2:26), and, (8) the knowledge of the presence and power of the Lord shall fill the whole Israel (Joel 2:27).

All these blessings and many more are also for anyone, today, who turns to the Lord in true repentance and becomes genuinely converted.

Let us pray.

THURSDAY (08/08/24)

'FLOURISHING ON EVERY SIDE' DAILY DEVOTIONAL
(For individuals, groups and families)

URGENT CALL TO REPENT AND RETURN BACK TO GOD
(Joel 2:1-17)

MEMORY VERSE: "And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil" (Joel 2:13).

By the grace of God, we have been having devotion from the Book of Joel. And, therein, we have seen the great displeasure of the Lord, His consistent warnings and eventual judgement of the people of Judah, as a result of their sins and evil lifestyle

And, here in our text today, God sends Prophet Joel to cry in the ears of the priests, the leaders and all the people of Judah, of a greater impending judgement - much worse than the invasion of locusts that they have had previously. This impending judgement of God he calls the "day of the Lord" (Joel 2:1, 11).

For the people of Judah, Joel calls the day of the Lord the "day of darkness" and gloominess (Joel 2:2). In the primary and immediate, Joel was talking about a mighty army (later to be the Assyrian army) coming against Judah. Joel describes them as "a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations" (Joel 2:2). See also, Joel 2:3-7.

However, for us, believers in these last days, the "day of darkness" is referring to the days of the terrible war that will be fought during the Antichrist rule (Amos 5:18-20; Zephaniah 1:14, 15).

The Assyrian invasion eventually came against Judah. They were a great and strong people according to the prophecy of Joel. They moved swiftly and brought Jerusalem and the whole of Judah to horrible ruin (Joel 2:3-6)!

For us today, the prophecy of Joel is a serious warning about the grave danger of missing the rapture, and being under the reign of the Antichrist in the Great Tribulation. Anyone who becomes careless and misses the rapture will, face the Antichrist and his overrunning army, be sealed with the mark of the beast (666), and, be doomed forever and ever (Joel 2:5, 10, 11; Daniel 12:1; Joel 2:31).

The commitment of every believer must be, to go to meet the Lord in the sky at the rapture of the saints.

The rapture is only one. There is no second rapture. Anyone who is waiting to resist the torture of the antichrist and escape eternal damnation will cry in bitter regret. A man who cannot escape in the days of Christ's marvelous grace, how will he escape when grace is no more?

That is the reason why, as Joel calls the people of Judah to repent and return back to God, so the Lord is calling everyone to repent and return unto Him today.

The people of Judah were commanded to turn to the Lord "with fasting, and with weeping, and mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God" (Joel 2:12, 13). Likewise, God is calling everyone is, living in sin, backslidden, a hypocrite, worldly, compromising, and, neither cold nor hot, to repent, return and surrender unto Him today (Jeremiah 3:12, 14, 22; Hosea 14:1, 2; Jeremiah 4:1; 29:12, 13; Acts 3:19). Anyone who rejects the call of the Lord should know, that the window of His grace will not be open forever: it will soon be shut!

Let us pray.

WEDNESDAY (07/08/24)

'FLOURISHING ON EVERY SIDE' DAILY DEVOTIONAL
(For individuals, groups and families)

REPENTANCE, RESTORATION AND RETURNING BACK TO GOD (1)
Joel 1:14-20

MEMORY VERSE: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14).

Because of the serious devastation and desolation of the land, and distress among the people of Judah (which we learnt of in the yesterday's devotion), Prophet Joel urged the priests of Judah to urgently call the people to mourning, serious fasting and greatly cry unto God (Joel 1:14; 2:15, 16; 2 Chronicles 20:3, 4).

Earnestly seeking the Lord, and crying unto God in prayer and fasting are sure ways to avert the fierce judgement of God coming upon a people (Jonah 3:8). See also: 2 Chronicles 20:4; Jonah 3:5.

The people of Judah were not just only to fast and pray, but to truly repent of all sins, and return back to God and His righteous standard (Isaiah 55:6, 7; 59:20).

Today, the people of God may not experience physical invasion of locust like the land of Judah experienced. It may come in form devastating sicknesses, terrible losses, strange lack, wicked devouring, shocking deaths, sinful bo***ge while pretending to still be in Christ, etc (see 1 Corinthians 11:30-32).

And, as we see in the Book of Joel, Bible pattern for resolving such horrible situation remains the same. The people, ministers and congregation alike must turn to God with the kind of sincerity, intensity, repentance and intercession that we see in the Book of Joel (Joel 1:13, 14; 2:12-17).

Also, the people of Judah were called to repent because of "the day of the LORD" that was fast approaching (Joel 1:15). The term, "day of the LORD" refers to: (1) the present judgement of God coming fiercely upon a rebellious nation or people; or, (2) God's final judgement on all evil at the end of this age, which includes the seven years Great Tribulation, and the return of Christ for the Millennial Reign (1 Thessalonians 5:2). However, in the case of Joel's time in our text, it is referring to the present judgment of God.

In the "day of the LORD", there shall be hunger in the land of Judah, and no gladness in the house of of God. The storehouse shall be dried up because of famine (Joel 1:16, 17). There shall be no pasture for the cattle, and, the little green grasses in the forest shall be consumed with fire (Joel 1:18-20).

A more terrible "day of the Lord" is coming, beginning immediately after the Rapture of the saints. Anyone who goes to meet the Lord Jesus in the sky has escaped. Anyone who misses the Rapture will cry 'had I known' forever and ever. May you not miss the Rapture in Jesus Christ Name!

Let us pray.

'FLOURISHING ON EVERY SIDE' DAILY DEVOTIONAL
(For individuals, groups and families)

WARNING TO THE CARELESS AND THE COMPLACENT (1)
(Amos 6:1-7; Isaiah 32:9-11)

MEMORY VERSE: "Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!" (Amos 6:1)

Today, our devotional message is from the Book of Amos (6:1-7), with our cross reference from Isaiah 32:9-11. God, in our text, warns the children of Israel against being complacent and carelessness. He describes them as people who are "at ease in Zion" (Amos 6:1).

At the time of this prophecy of Amos, the children of Israel had backslidden from God. They had departed from the kingdom life of Zion, became deep-neck in the idolatry of Babylon and embraced the worldliness and vanity of Egypt. They departed from God's holy, righteous standard, and, yet, said, 'we don't care; it doesn't matter'.

And, many, who had not fully embraced the idolatrous and worldliness of the foreign nations, had become complacent, in worship, in walking with God, and, in obeying His Word. They slided back from the way of holiness, rejected God's love for them, and, yet, said, 'we don't care; it doesn't matter'.

For these reasons and many more, the Lord came unto them with strong warning: a horrible calamity was coming upon them that would reign down sorrow, tears, lamentation and misery.

For us reading the devotional today, God is also warning us, as He warned the children of Israel at that time, against the life of carelessness, unconcerned attitude to the things of God, backslidden lifestyles, secret sinning and every form of ungodliness. And, He is calling us unto steadfastness in the Truth, uncompromising holy living, complete obedience to God's Word, wholly trusting in the Lord, and greatly rejoicing in the Lord!

Friend, are you complacent? Are you careless? Are you at ease in Zion and saying 'it doesn't matter; I am alright as I am'? God is calling you to repent today. Return back to the Lord with all your heart. Rise up to embrace His righteous standard. Live to please the Lord alone. Walk steadfastly in His holiness highway, and be earnest in your preparing in readiness for His coming.

May you not miss going with the Lord at His coming in Jesus Christ Name!

Let us pray.
