An Emoji devotions for Mon 24th January 2021
Topic: The very last drop
Highlights:
So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’ Luke 16:24
Have pity on your self. Falling easily into self indulgences with no reserve for discipline is going to toll back in future. It's just a life pattern either you are a Christian or other religion. You have to judge yourself with the way you live. So, when time comes and there is no more drop of water to cool your thirst for entertainment, immorality, sex, drunkeness, malice keeping, social indulgences and all those things you used to indulged in, you may need to beg for Abraham's Mercy for a drop.
So many people have wasted their life's goodies in their youthful day. Some are not okay today because they took life as joke.
I told a boy who is always indulging in laziness doing nothing at all that- "when an helper comes your way, what would you tender as your CV?". There were ten virgins but only the wise ones will follow the lamb.
For you reading this, when you have the opportunity to indulge yourself, do not overdo it because there will be a time when you will need a drop of that money, or strength, or certificate or anything to stand for you and you may not have it if you don't live rightly.
You overlook many things now but on that day Father Abraham will not overlook anything for you.
“But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony." Luke 16:25
This is what the Kingdom of God lifestyle is all about. If you don't resist the urge to over- indulge yourself or your children today, it may be hard to fight for those things like the rich man is fighting for a drop of water. A miracle can still happen provided that you will repent and not repeat past mistakes. You may still have a last drop to quench your thirst and were given another chance, would you be determined to use it well?
Prayer: God of Second Chance have pity on me when I am still alive. Have mercy and compassion on me, for I am the work of your hands. In Jesus name. Amen.
