16 BLACKGOSPEL, EVERY DECISION

-
People ◄cast lots/throw marked stones► to decide what should be done, but God is the one who truly decides what will happen. Proverbs 16:33 T4T

DAY 16, EVERY DECISION
When life is undefined or undecided, it is at the mercy of fate and lot - those lifeless things commanding great things. Prov 18:18 says, The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty. As mighty as those men are, they lack a general sense of things nor ever have a common sense. They've only grown in power but have no self-control, and so need a lot of restraint.

The analogy today is the story in Acts 1:23-26 where Judas Iscariot was replaced by a lot. Whereas, the Lord had commanded apostle Peter & Co, to wait until they received the promise of the Father - His holy Spirit. In less than ten days of waiting, Peter rather sought to do God's work by lot and elected Matthias, who never appeared again in the book of Acts of the Apostles.

Few mistakes were made during that electioneering. First, the office Judas Iscariot left was not to be occupied by an individual. It was meant for everybody, anyone handling money, for Judas was a treasurer, keeper of the purse. Second, God planned to bring up Paul, the least as the thirteenth apostle. He also fulfilled the requirements for the apostleship as listed in verses 21-22. Moreover, Jacob had thirteen children, though 12 were male children.

Ten Words At Calvary.mp3 audio download HEBREWS 1:1-14 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,  2  has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.  3  His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,  4 having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.  5  For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?” 6  When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”  7  Of the angels he sa...

Do not turn to the right or the left, remove your foot from evil. Proverbs 4:27 NKJV Day 4, Right Or Left.mp3 DAY 4, RIGHT OR LEFT The Lord gave a similar command or statement when He was commissioning Joshua. Jos 1:7 says, " Only be strong and very courageous that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you, do not turn from it to the right hand or the left, that you may prosper wherever you go ". Doing the will of God, the righteousness of God is not about the rights or wrongs, not turning the left or the right but simply doing the will of the Father. Isaiah 30:21 says, " Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it, whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left" . Following God is not about having a set of rules of dos and don'ts or ever and never or living anyhow thinking the grace of God is always available but following His voice - voice leading. An...
