Understanding What God Hates

Understanding What God Hates

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Today from the book of Proverbs, I will be showing you a list of things God hates, and the things children of God shouldn’t get involved in.

I want you to read with rapt attention, and take note of all I will be teaching you today.

See what the Bible says here:

Here are six things God hates, and one more that he loathes with a passion: eyes that are arrogant, a tongue that lies, hands that murder the innocent, a heart that hatches evil plots, feet that race down a wicked track, a mouth that lies under oath, a troublemaker in the family. –Proverbs 6:16-19 (MSG)

1. Eyes That Are Arrogant

The first thing here is pride and arrogance. God doesn’t like these two things; in fact, the bible says he hates them. God doesn’t want you to see yourself above others, or treat other people like you are better than they are; he wants you to love everyone just like Jesus loves us all.

2. Tongue That Lies

This is another thing God hates, God doesn’t want you to lie as his child. He wants you to tell the truth at all times, regardless of whether it will get you in trouble or not. Always stand for the truth at all time, let your YES be YES, and your NO be NO at all times.

  1. Hands That Murder The Innocent

Murder means to kill someone, not just to kill, but a killing that is premeditated. You know it’s wrong to kill; it’s against the commandment of God and the laws of men too. Murder is a crime everywhere in the world.

To be continued.

PRAYER:
Father in the name of Jesus, I help me to do your will always. Amen

ACTION PLAN:
Write what you have learnt today in points and paste it on a wall in your room

DECLARATION:
I am the beloved of God, and I think as God thinks

Little Children, God Watches You

Little Children, God Watches You

Reading Time: 2 minutes

One of the things I want you to know is that God watches over us dutifully. Not only does God know our every step, there are angels that God has assigned to watch you every second, and their gaze doesn’t shift from us.

This is how you know that evil cannot come near you, because God watches over you all the time and there are angels at work for you as well little children.

Asides the fact that God keeps watch over our lives, what we do daily is also open to him; the time you wake up every day, when take your bath, God sees your breakfast time, when you get on a bus to go to school.

Let me make this more interesting. God sees you when you tell a lie. God sees you when you make faces at your teachers or tutors in school. God sees you when you gossip about someone to another person. He sees everything you do.

Let me show you what the bible says;

For a man’s ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all his paths, the evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him; the cords of his sin hold him fast. He will die for lack of discipline, led astray by his own great folly. – Proverbs 5:21-23 (NIV)

So you see, God doesn’t just see everything you do, he also examines them. Do you know what it means to examine something?

To examine means to inspect or study thoroughly to determine the nature or condition of something.

To God your actions are well examined, showing if it be good or otherwise. This is why you have to be mindful and intentional about what you do, and don’t do.

PRAYER:
Father in Jesus name, I receive grace to do the right thing all the time; Amen

ACTION PLAN:
Choose to be deliberate about what you say

DECLARATION:
I am a good child. I am wise and obedient.

How To Use Your Eyes

How To Use Your Eyes

Reading Time: 2 minutes


Your eyes are a gift from God to behold this beautiful and wonderful world – the earth, He created.

But the enemy has somehow found a way of introducing sin and evil into the world.

Through people on earth, many unholy things have almost become a norm in the world today.

Though your eyes are to see but not everything you see is good for your eyes. The bible tells us that 

“Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. – Matt. 6:22 NLT. 

What you see affects your body. Witnessing a traumatic event affects your mind and body.

Also when you watch morally unfit videos it affects your body.

Watch out for videos or movies that show sexual content even if they have PG16 labels on them. Remember God is Holy and watching such videos or films is an unholy act.

Don’t be fooled by the words of your friends or people that watching it won’t affect you. It will.

The only safe way out of it is not to watch it and run away from friends, people, or situations that will want to make you do so.

It is better to obey God than to have the coolest friendships that will lead you to a lifetime of sexual depravity.

One way to know if what you are watching is bad is when you have to hide from others before you watch. That means you are not meant to watch it.

Remember, your eyes are a lamp for your body. They help to keep you from stumbling. Use them well just like you would use a lamp to see in the dark.

God bless and keep you safe in this dark world. Amen.

Prayer point:
Lord, help me to keep my eyes safe from looking at things that I shouldn’t be looking at.

Action point:
What have you been watching lately? If they are not in line with God’s, pray and ask God to help you overcome them. And tell your parents about it too.

Declaration:
My eyes will not behold iniquity. I watch what I see.

Don’t Allow What You See To Slow You Down

Don’t Allow What You See To Slow You Down

Reading Time: 2 minutes

There are several gateways to a man’s spirit. These gateways are like large open doors through which good or bad spirits can access our inner man. I believe it is to this intent that the scripture says:

Pro 4:23 (KJV)
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

The heart has to be kept with security systems that would prevent unsolicited access into your heart. The gateways in every man include the mouth gate, the eye gate, the ear gate, and nose gate.

This morning, I want to say a few words as it relates to the eye gate and relationships.

The Bible actually talks a lot about being cautious with what we see. One such scripture can be found in:

Job 31:1 (KJV)
I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?

Job had to come to a point in his life and he realized his eyes are going to get him into serious trouble. So he dealt with his eyes in order to deal with his thoughts. His eye gate was feeding his thought life and those thoughts were far from healthy.

He knew if he was going to be okay, he had to make decisions. And that is what you will need to do too, you will need to make decisions!

Jesus even elaborated more here:

Mat 5:28 (KJV)
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Just having a deliberate lustful look, Jesus said it’s the same as an adulterous sin.

What do you do?

You see, the first look is not always a sin or any trouble. It is the second, third and perpetual look that becomes the problem. It’s when you start thinking on or meditating on an unhealthy sight that issues begin to rear their heads. The solution is simple, like Job, you must make a decision and deliberately refuse to look at whatever is going to feed your weaknesses.

I pray that today will be a great day in your life, even as you make those decisions.

Be blessed!

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I am deliberate with what I see

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Ask for the grace not to feed your weakness.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Job 31:1 (MSG)”I made a solemn pact with myself never to undress a girl with my eyes.

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Watch what you see!

BIBLE READING FOR THE DAY
Job 31
