Genesis 21; vs.1 – the attitude of keeping to our promise
is what we are considering here. We as believers in Christ Jesus should learn
to keep to our words (promises). Don’t open your mouth to make promises you
can’t fulfill. God doesn’t take delight in such empty words, read Isaiah 9:17.
Vs. 9 – the attitude of mocking someone. Don’t try this at all because every
human being was wonderfully and beautifully made in the image of God. Let’s
cherish one another and take fellow mankind for who they are and not for what
they have or can give to you, read Proverbs 17:5; 14:9. Vs. 10 – the attitude
of casting out evil imaginations off our souls. Most at times we just find out
that we have been carried away with ill thinking and that is why our society
today is full of evil happenings because, evil thinking begets evil happening.
Can we decide today to do ourselves good by casting out every of these evil
imaginations that creep into our minds and begin to replace them with
whatsoever that is true, noble and just? Read Philippians 4:8. Vs. 32 – the
attitude of making a covenant of peace with God, yourself and others. This is
very paramount in life and in the society anytime and every day. Peace breeds
health, vitality and progress wherever it’s found, Colossians 3:15.
Genesis 22; vs. 2 – the attitude of making God number one
in your affairs, Abraham considered God first when He asked him to sacrifice
his only son Isaac to Him. He did not tell anyone including Sarah his wife
because I'm sure she would have discouraged him. In the Book of Matthew 6:33,
God has asked us to follow suit, to seek Him first, so that every other thing shall be added to us including the ones you
have never asked Him but He knows would benefit you, Amen.
Genesis 23; vs. 2 – the attitude of celebrating one
another no matter what. Standing together with one another is very crucial in this
time of incessant suicide commission. You can see the way Abraham stood by
Sarah his wife until death. Always rejoice with them that are rejoicing and
mourn with them that are mourning. Never take advantage of any situation to
undo another. Vs.16 – the attitude of sacrificing. It is said that anything of
value has a cost paid or to be paid. David said that he can’t give God that
which cost him nothing… 1 Chronicle 21:24.
Psalms 7: 10 – 17; vs. 10 – the attitude of being upright
in heart. God can never defend anyone who is not upright in heart, read Psalm 97:10-11.
Matthew 8: 23-34; vs. 26 – the attitude of not being fearful.
Stand firm on the authority of Christ Jesus, to calm every storm of your life
and this must be done with a pure heart which bears no grudges.
Matthew 9: 1-13; vs. 10 – the attitude of not
discriminating. As believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, we have a duty of taking
after him. Even Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 9: 19-23, told us how he became
all things to all men, that he might by all means save some lost souls.
Prayer – Lord Jesus, help me to succeed in this race of
life, and I draw from the grace made available to me to always speak the truth
and not wickedness, Amen.
