THE OLD-TIME-RELIGION
John 14:12 – “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. (NLT)
Read: Genesis 39:7-12, Job 2:9-10, Daniel 3, 1 Samuel 13:14, Matthew 24:24, Hebrews 11:8-19, 1 Thessalonians 4:1-11.
There is often a paramount question that comes to mind: If another Bible were to be written, what and who would be the main characters in modern times? For example, the Scriptures described David as a man after God’s heart. Can the Lord still find such a person in this generation? Abraham was also termed the “father of faith”. When Christ returns, will He find faith on earth?
Job was the wealthiest man in the East but lost everything, yet he refused to curse God. Would you do the same if you found yourself in a similar situation? In a corrupt society, are there the Josephs who will reject immoral advances? Are there still genuine ministers of God like Elijah, Esther, Jeremiah, and Isaiah? In the face of persecution, would you be the Apostle Paul and the three Hebrew men who will stand for the gospel?
Beloved, learn to live according to the Scriptures and emulate the people of old who walked with God despite dire consequences. You should also consciously walk in holiness and dwell in power to please God. The more reasons you must operate in power is so you can do greater exploits than Jesus did. Today’s Bible text confirms that Christ has empowered you for the dimensions of impact that surpass old-time records. Therefore, you will pray for the spirit of revival and a positive character to sustain you in this new realm of understanding.
PRAYER
