TOPIC: Time To Return Home
TEXT: Genesis 31:1-24(NKJV)
STUDY: Jacob served Laban for 20 years (fourteen for his two wives and six to get his own flock). Laban found it very difficult to settle Jacob after this lengthy service; he was reluctant to let Jacob go because he had realised that God had blessed his flock since Jacob arrived.
However, Jacob devised a means to get his own flock so that he could fend for his own family. God reminded Jacob it was time to return home to his people so he called Leah and Rachel for a family meeting to inform them of how their father had short-changed him. He convinced them to be on his side. They stole away So that Laban would not know. Many apprentices have tales of woes in the hands of their masters.
No matter how long one stays in another man’s place, one day he will long for home. To return home, one must be prepared to face the Challenges one may meet. Some persons may have taken over their property in their absence. Our ultimate home is heaven.
We must start reparations today if we have not done so to avoid any embarrassment on the last day. No matter how long one stays on earth, one day, God will remind one it is time to return home. Which home will you head for, heaven or hell?
PRAYER: Prayer: Dear Father, constantly remind me there is a better home because here is not my home.
Daily Fountain Quote of the Day
2 Corinthians 4:16-18: “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”
