Topic: THE CRY OF WIDOWS

It Burns Like Consuming Fire!

MEMORIZE: “And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.” Luke 18:3.

SCRIPTURE READING: Exodus 22:22-24.

“Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.”

EXPOSITION:

Widows are women who have lost their husbands to death. They are generally believed to be poor and needed helps for their daily survival. But the Bible stated that we have women that are widow and those that are widows indeed. The young widows are advised to go and remarry to protect their marital testimony. The widows indeed are women above sixty years, who do no longer have desire for sex again. Those who can stay without spoiling themselves with men. From both Old and New Testaments, God has serious regards for the widows and will not want anyone to maltreat them or deny them their rights. Their fatherless children also were commanded to be taken care of. Whenever any person maltreats a widow or a fatherless child, God always frown at the person and such action. God said, “Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.” Exodus 22:22-24.  

But it is a pity in our present days that things are no longer as God designed it. Many widows were even the primary cause of their husbands’ death while many so called helpers of the widows are demanding for their bodies before helping them. Anyone that eats unripe fruit shall surely have his teeth ache/sore. Are you a true helper of widow without wanting anything in return? You are doing a good job for God. He is the rewarder of all we do for the poor and helpless. He will not let you go unrewarded. But if you demand for their body before you help them, remember their Redeemer liveth, He will surely avenge them upon their adversaries. Repent!

PRAYER POINT:

Lord, help all the widows and the fatherless, take away their pain and sorrow as you meet their daily needs in Jesus name.

DAILY BIBLE READING IN A YEAR – Job 15-17.
