Focus: The Hands of Men in the Government of God

WORD FOR TODAY
There will always be the hands of men in the government of God. You must be very weary and conscious of the hands of men in God's affairs; simply because a man irrespective of who he is, can be influenced by the sinful nature!!!

Scriptural Reference
"And He said to her, "What do you wish?" She said to Him, "Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom."(Matthew 20:21).

The Lord took a great risk to put the man He created in charge of the affairs of life. The fact that the first man Adam failed makes all men of the earth corrupt and prone to being ruled by the sinful nature. You are not also left out of this.

In our text, we saw a mother lobbying that her children sit by the Lord in heaven but the Lord replied that she doesn't know what she was asking! The Lord also asked if they can bear His cross! Many want to be in the front position in God's kingdom but not ready to drink His cup or live according to His lifestyle.

There are men placed in the affairs of God's people on earth who implement things based on their selfish interest; they setup spiritual activities to enrich themselves, they give bribes in disguise to cling spiritual position, they manipulate scriptural passages to make people their financial slaves.

Be careful to ensure that you allow God to always have His way in whatever you do for Him. Don't exploit the love people have to honour God to implement your sinful desire. Be mindful of the fact that we will all meet the Lord and give account of our stewardship.

Question For Meditation:
+ In all affairs, whose agenda do you pursue?

Prayer Point:
Lord! Have your way in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis:
You must be careful to identify the hands of men in the government of God!!!

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Have a Delightful Week Ahead!!!
