SUNDAY, 30TH JULY, 2023.

Author: PASTOR DR. SAMUEL AYORINDE

TOPIC:  WHAT REASON CHRISTIANS HAVE TO BE CONTENTED WITH THEIR LOT.

MEMORIZE: “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” 1 Timothy 6:6 

SCRIPTURE READING: Hebrews 13:5, 6. 

“Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we may boldly say: "The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"”

EXPOSITION:

(1.) God hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee, Heb 13:5,6. God told Joshua “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.” Joshua 1:5, this promise also belongs to all the faithful servants of God. Old-Testament promises are also applicable to New-Testament saints. This promise contains the sum and substance of all the promises. God said, I will never, no, never leave thee, nor ever forsake thee. Jesus Christ also promised his disciples His presence till the end of age – Matthew 28:20. Hebrews 13:5 also established this fact: “Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." To confirm the promise; the true believer shall have the gracious presence of God with him in life, at death, and forever. 

(2.) From this comprehensive promise the saints may assure themselves of help from God: So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper; I will not fear what man shall do unto me, Heb 13:6. Men are naturally wicked and can harm even their neighbours, but can do nothing against God, and God can make all that men do against his people to turn to their good “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28.

(3.) Because God is our helper, he will surely protect His saints from attacks of the enemies. The word of God assured us in Isaiah 54:15 “Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.”.

 

PRAYER POINT:  Lord, I received grace to trust you and be contented in your provisions for my life in Jesus name.
