🔶🔸METAMORPHOSIS ( #1 Daily Devotional Tract by Dr. Isaiah Wealth )
📅 Monday, 30th April 2018
📜 SCRIPTURAL TEXT
(Hebrews 12:5)
“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him”
🔹 🔹 🔹
No chastening is momentarily pleasant to the flesh (Heb. 12:11), but we must know that it is God’s loving tool to get us into line when we walk out of His Will. God is after our restoration, not the destruction of our souls (Eze.36:24-27). He chastens us to keep us from destruction; His reproof is to train us up, not to cast us down. Glory to God!
If we must walk with God and become more like Him, we must renew our minds and put off the works of the flesh. This is not a day’s job; it happens steadily as we fellowship more with God’s Word and seek to do His Will. Nevertheless, sometimes the Lord will chasten us when we deliberately live in disobedience to His instructions and refuse the call to change in certain areas of our lives. Our scriptural text today shows us how we must respond to the Lord’s chastening and rebuke; we must not despise it or give up.
Therefore, do not allow yourself to be drawn into guilt or withdrawal when God’s rebuke comes, either through the voice of His Spirit or through an authority figure. Instead, endure the reproof and be swift to amend your ways where God’s Word convicts you. Halleluyah!

🌏 CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS
Let's Pray For Suriname 🇸🇷...
The Javanese are predominantly Muslim while the Indian community in Suriname are only now beginning to respond to the gospel. The Chinese churches are growing and actively joining other local churches and missions to plant more churches among Chinese in the region.
🙏🏽We are praying for growth in the churches and for more labourers to arise.
🔹 START-UP PRAYER:
Dear Father, mould me, reproof me, correct me whenever I am in error in Jesus name.
♦ PRAYER FOR JERUSALEM
Father I ask today that there will be peace in Jerusalem and that your purposes be established in that city. Amen (PS 122;6).
🔹 PRAYER OF REDEDICATION
Dear Father, I am grateful for the gift of a new month in the year 2018 and for being my shield, my fortress and exceeding great reward. I rededicate my whole self to you today: body, soul and spirit. Let your word be true in my life as you lead me into the fulfilment of all your promises in Jesus Name. Amen.
