Rhema for Living 11 March 2022 Devotional MESSAGE
Every act of compromise against one’s faith will eventually stop a child of God from accessing his throne. At first, it may seem as if it pays and many may see it as the popular way to advancement because of the immediate physical returns they see on such a person. But be not deceived, if is not God, it is not good because the end is destruction. See what David said in Psalms 73,; “Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked… When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; Until I was into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.” (vs 1 – 3 & 16 – 17).
The day Achan was judged was not the very day he started stealing. He must have been disobeying the commandments of God, defrauding his neighbour, collecting items that were not his, enriching himself at the detriment of others.
Then other Israelites would have been envying him, even condemning themselves for not making it so soon. Some may even have emulate his lifestyle since it has ‘quick returns’. But when the day of judgment came, his end was disgraceful. He and his entire household were stoned to death. Josh. 7 :24 – 25.
Achan would have taken a stand for righteousness by taking none of the accursed things from Jericho as God commanded, but he allow his greed for materialism lure him, and he terminated his life and those of his household untimely.
Taking a stand for righteousness shunning all acts of iniquity makes your end very sure. Psa. 37 :37.
Make up your mind today to stand for righteousness.
PRAYER: My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, I take a stand for righteousness from this day.
