TOPIC: The Path of The Just
MEMORISE: But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Proverbs 4:18
READ: Matthew 7:13-14
[13]Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
[14]Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
TODAY’S MESSAGE
The ‘just’ are those who are honest, truthful, and without sin. Today’s memory verse describes the path of the just as that of wisdom and righteousness. In contrast, the path of the wicked is that of folly, recklessness, and immorality.
A lot of people think that the path of the just is slow, boring, and not classy. On the contrary, it is beautiful and interesting, and as the Bible says, it shines brighter and brighter until the end. The foundation of a fellow who is on this path is the fear of the Lord; he or she will never intentionally do anything contrary to God’s will. As a child of God, you are expected to be on this path. In other words, you ought to be just.
When you are just, the Lord will fight your battles for you (Psalm 34:17) and make everything you do to prosper (Deuteronomy 29:9). Therefore, I implore you to be just from henceforth.
REFLECTION
Are you just?
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
1 Chronicles 4:5:17; Acts 25:1-27
HYMN 50: CONQUERORS AND OVERCOMERS NOW ARE WE
1. Conquerors And Overcomers Now Are We,
Thro’ The Precious Blood Of Christ We’ve Victory
If The Lord Be For Us, We Can Never Fail,
Nothing ‘Gainst His Mighty Pow’r Can E’er Prevail.
Refrain:
Conquerors Are We, Through The Blood Of Jesus,
God Will Give Us Victory, Through The Blood Of Jesus,
Thro’ The Lamb For Sinners Slain,
Yet Who Lives And Reigns Again,
More Than Conquerors Are We,
More Than Conquerors Are We.
2. In The Name Of Israel’s God We’ll Onward Press,
Overcoming Sin And All Unrighteousness;
Not To Us, But Unto Him The Praise Shall Be,
For Salvation And For Blood Bought Victory.
3. Unto Him That Overcometh Shall Be Given,
Here To Eat Of Hidden Manna Sent From Heav’n,
Over Yonder He The Victors Palm Shall Bear,
And A Robe Of White, And Golden Crown Shall Wear.
