So you agree with the article that the wonderful ANGEL in judges 13 is Christ Jesus ?

It is obvious if you study the Scriptures as today's devotional admonishes.

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15).

JONAH’S JOURNEY

"I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart" (Psalms 40:8.).

According to Dr J.R. Miller, "it is easier to do that which God gives us to do, no matter how hard it is, than to face the responsibilities of not doing it." Jonah learnt this the hard way. His spiritual journey typifies foot-dragging obedience to God’s commandments. Having received God’s mandate to go and preach the Word in Nineveh, Jonah went his own way, but God mercifully gave him a second chance before he obeyed. His simple message '…Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.' (Jonah 3:3), led to repentance and God’s forgiveness of the Ninevites.

God demands prompt obedience to His commandments from you. Do you obey God promptly? [If not] God wants you to be saved and has given you numerous opportunities but you have continued in your sins of examination malpractice, immorality, internet fraud and other ungodly lifestyles. Confess your sins now and God will forgive and save you. Thereafter, you will delight to obey God without questioning and He will bless you beyond your imagination.

• Challenge: "Give your life to Christ and receive grace to obey God"

• Prayer: "Dear Lord, make me willing to obey your word"

HAPPINESS IN THE LORD

"But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy" (1 Peter 4:13).

In his definition, psychiatrist Thomas Szasz says, "Happiness is an imaginary condition, formerly attributed by the living to the dead, now usually attributed by adults to children and by children to adults." A fascinating study on the principle of the Golden Rule was conducted by Bernard Rimland, director of the Institute for Child Behaviour Research. Happy people not only help others but are also unselfish, and their activities are devoted to making others happy. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13).

You may ask what really makes people happy and satisfied with their lives. Amazingly, the secret lies in trust and obedience to God and His Word. It also lies in your ability to handle life's challenges without blame or bitterness. One major source of happiness is to get saved at this stage of your life. Make it a habit to always rejoice in the Lord.

• Challenge: "When you are selfish, you can hardly be happy"

• Prayer: "O Lord, make me a happy and unselfish person"

RECIPROCAL LOVE

"So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses" (Job 42:12).

Two Stanford University boys whose funds got desperately low had an idea to engage a pianist for a recital so as to use the funds to pay their tuition. The great pianist's manager asked for a guarantee of $2,000, to which term the boys agreed. But they later found that they had grossed only $1,600, which they gave the artist, along with a promissory note for $400. The pianist decided to return the money to them. One of the boys, who was now in charge of the US Food and Relief Bureau, offered to help the artist, now premier of Poland, whose people were starving after World War I. When you love and do good to others, repayment for your good gesture may not come immediately. As Romans 8:35 says, let nothing – tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, unclothedness, peril, or sword - separate you from the Love of Christ.

LASTING LAUGHTER

"Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them" (Psalm 126:2).

People sing or laugh for various reasons. While some do so to ridicule or mock at people, many do it to express joy, happiness or pleasure with others. A lovely or joyful laughter comes from hearing or sharing some pleasant information or experiences with people you love. A lovely laughter is good for personal health. This was why Orison Swett Marden said, “If only people knew the medicinal power of laughter, of good cheer…half the physicians would be out of work.” Do away with your gloomy look and laugh always, because laugher reduces blood pressure.

When they were in captivity, the children of Israel lost joy and could not sing the songs of Zion. But, when God set them free, laughter and singing came into their camp again. If the devil has stolen your joy and laughter, remember that Christ came to give you abundant life. Turn to Him now and receive grace to be happy.

• Challenge: "Making peace with God is a key to joy and lovely laughter"

• Prayer: "Help me, oh God to spread cheer and lovely laughter around me"

MAKE YOUR MARK

"And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands" (1 Samuel 18: 7).

Everybody can make their mark by achieving recognition or success in a particular field of endeavour such as science, law, business or medicine. After working as a door-to-door salesman, Baron Marcel Bich joined an office equipment firm. He worked on Lazlo Biro’s theory of ball point pen. Biro, the Hungarian, invented the theory, but it was Bich who perfected it, building the Bic Company in 1950. The Bic pen is used all over the world today. Bich made his mark and died in 1994.

David made his mark when he killed the boastful Goliath by faith and courage. He later became a faithful shepherd - King of Israel - and God called him a man after His own heart. You too can get a recognition or success greater than that today, if you walk closely with God. Use your own God-given gifts and you will make your mark. Thirst after heaven and God will use you to His glory.

TRADING WITH YOUR TALENT

"Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents" (Matthew 25:16).

Everyone born into the world is a bundle of talents or gifts. These must be diligently and faithfully used to God’s glory and the good of mankind. Louis Pasteur, the talented scientist, studied Physics and Chemistry in Paris. He later became a professor of Chemistry. It was he who discovered that bacteria caused many diseases and deaths. This led to the production of antibiotics and other medicines that cure disease. He discovered vaccines against diseases, such as rabies. He used his gifts to the benefit of humanity. The world today is also plagued with a spiritual disease called sin. Jesus is God’s solution to the sin problem. You must preach Him to the whole world to cure it and stop the spread. Remember, “Occupy till I come.” If you fail to trade with your talents, you will at last give account to God. Where ever you may be, use your talents to save souls.

PRICE OF PEARL

"Again, the Kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it" (Matthew 13: 45, 46).

A pearl is a gem or precious stone cut and polished for use as jewellery or decoration. It is somebody or something highly valued or esteemed.
Some parents name their children Pearl because they regard them so dear to their hearts. The kingdom of God is more precious than anything we can imagine and we should do all we can to enter.

A young man was once invited to a Christian fellowship by a colleague. The preacher preached a great message that could lead any sinner to repentance. As they went home at close of meeting, the colleague asked his invitee of his impression of the message and his reply was, "He is a fine speaker." Oratory was his concern and not how to gain eternal life. It was some years later that he got born again in the university.

UNSOILED GARMENT

"Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. And he answered and spake before those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garment from him..." (Zechariah 3: 3, 4a).

God wants every child of His to have clean hands and a pure heart (Psalm 24: 3, 4). This means that we should be clean within and without-no impure thoughts and motives or sinful acts. These are the people that have unsoiled garments or white linen, who can have easy access to God's presence.

A hymn writer puts it this way: "Called unto holiness, children of light, Walking with Jesus in garments of white; Raiment unsullied nor tarnished with sin, God's Holy Spirit abiding within." This is a glorious experience which we can get only by a cleansing in the blood of Jesus.

A Christian who goes into sin has soiled garments. That was why the filthy garments of the high priest, Joshua, had to be taken away from him to enjoy the Divine presence. Ensure you are saved and take time to be holy.

PRECIOUS POSSESSION

"And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house" (Acts 16: 31).

In the world of today, when you ask many people about a precious possession, what will readily be mentioned are: academic certificates, creative works, expensive cars, plots of land in choice parts of the city, jewelries and the latest dresses. These are physical things which people can see and by which they can evaluate us. The body is another precious possession; we do all we can to keep healthy, clean and beautiful.

However, Jesus Christ said, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6: 33). Hence C.S. Lewis wrote, "The salvation of a single soul is more important than the production or preservation of all the epics and tragedies in the world."

Salvation is the passport to God's kingdom. Jesus gives it freely. Have you received it? If you have, please, keep it.

COMMISSION KEEPER

"And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen" (Mark 16:20).

A commission is a task given to a person or a group. When God called and commissioned Jeremiah a prophet unto the nations, He told him the nature of work he was to do, "See I have this day set thee over the nations and over the Kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant" (Jeremiah 1: 10).

Though the young prophet was shocked when he got the commission and protested that he could not speak because he was a 'child', he eventually obeyed. He suffered persecution while carrying out the task, but God preserved him and he fulfilled his ordained destiny.

Before going to heaven, Jesus gave His disciples the Great Commission (to preach the Gospel to all nations). They kept the commission with zeal and excellent results, and it is now our turn to do so.

EQUIPPED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS

"Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand" (Ephesians 6: 13).

Joseph was a mere boy when God began to reveal to him through dreams his destiny. When he left Canaan for Egypt, God had not given the Ten Commandments to Israel. However, Joseph had learnt enough from his parents about God to equip him for a righteous life in Egypt.

According to Keith Provance, "Who God calls, He equips. Who He equips, He anoints to do the job." Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego equally showed special traits of God’s children in Babylon. They would not eat the portion of the king's meat or bow down to the golden image of Nebuchadnezzar. They stood for God and righteousness in a sinful environment.

Remember, if you are a Christian, you are also called. You must allow Christ shine through you by righteous living. When you put on the whole armour of God, no temptation can floor you.

PRAYERFUL PURSUIT

"And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after the troop? Shall I overtake them? And He answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and recover all" (1 Samuel 30: 8 ).

We ought to commit all our life's pursuits into the hands of God for good success, be they big or small. Many fail in life's battles because they fail to pray. According to Samuel Chadwick, "The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray."

David was known to be courageous, skillful and a man after God's own heart, yet he hardly did anything without praying. That was the secret ingredient in his success streak. Our text of today proves that.

As God's child, you have to take the burdens of your heart to Him in prayers. If Nehemiah prayed to overcome discouragement in rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem, and if our Lord Jesus Christ and the early Church prayed for success in ministry, why worry when you can pray?

Miners dig hard and deep for expensive mineral pearls. They know their worth hence they are not discouraged at the labour cost. Our text today compares search for wisdom as for hid treasures. Wisdom is the right application of knowledge. It is righteous use of what you know.
Therefore reading and studying for knowledge does not necessarily make one wise except it is properly applied.

Our Lord Jesus is wisdom personified. The search to know more about Jesus will make you wise indeed. How much do you read about Jesus daily? A few verses with adequate meditation and exercising faith will keep you on wisdom pathway. Begin today to spend time to study the Holy Bible, the book of all books.

THE LORD OWNS ALL

"The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts" (Haggai 2:8.)

The basic principle of life which every child of God must understand is that the Lord owns and is the giver of all things. He is the solution to all human challenges.

As a Bible student youth, you must be aware of the story of the rich man in Luke 12:19 – 21, who boastfully told his soul to "eat, drink, and be merry" after he thought he had laid up much goods for many years. But God called him a fool and took away his soul for not recognising the source, provider and sustainer of his riches – the Lord. The scripture warns here that a similar situation awaits anyone who "layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God" (Luke 12:21).

Always willingly and joyfully return to God whatever thing you receive from Him, recognising that He made it available to you. If you desire anything, direct it to the One who can give it, and realise that God can only bless you when you ask Him prayerfully. Most importantly, don't let wealth influence your life or be your master, but depend on God for it.

As he saw the pipe, he picked it and started demonstrating how he used to smoke, and before he knew it, the urge returned in full force and he started smoking again.

UNQUENCHABLE FIRE

"Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched" (Mark 9: 46)

Fire is one natural blessing in the world that can also be our worst enemy. In 2012, a group of Russian geologists dug a well in remote Siberia to about 14.4km depth. The temperature was 1,100 degree Celsius. They heard voices of pains of persons inside the well. The team leader, Dr Azzacove said, “As a communist, I don’t believe in heaven or the Bible but as a scientist I now believe in hell.” Destructive fire is one most uncontrollable natural disaster. Yet, there is a fire worse than all the fire disasters ever known. It is the eternal fire of judgment and torment for unrepentant sinners and backsliders. Satan and demons will also be there to pay for their wickedness. Beloved youth, heaven and hellfire are real as the Bible teaches.

On May 28, 2013, the Xijing Hospital in Xian, China operated on a monkey for a liver transplant. It marked a medical history. Increase in knowledge has advanced medical science but none has excelled Bible records when an ass spoke with man's voice.

Prophet Balaam got so filled with the desire to get possession and promotion from King Balak of Moab. That was at the risk of cursing the children of Israel whom God told him were blessed and never to be cursed. As he advanced, the angel of the Lord withstood him with a sword. The backslidden prophet could not see it until his ass crushed Balaam's foot against the wall. In anger, he smote the ass thrice. Then, the ass spoke.

A CHRISTIAN WALK

"Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God" (2 Corinthians 5:20)

When a man repents, he is named after Christ – Christian. That is not just a new family name; it is a whole identity. God wants Christians to know what the name means, because it will anchor their Christian walk and give them inner strength, freedom, confidence, clear direction, and the vision to soar like an eagle, as they are destined to do.

It is essential that you situate your Christian walk in what God declares about you in His Word. Make your name personal by putting it in each of His proclamations.

I encourage you to be a child of God, a conqueror through Him, an ambassador for Christ, and His witness. All these things will become a strong foundation for your life and service to God. Believe and walk in them according to Christ's example.
