EX CHAMP (Open Heavens daily for teenagers 2016)
Memorise: Afterward
Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, behold,
thou art made
whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. John 5:14
Please Read: Joshua 7:1-5, 7 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the
accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of
Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the Lord was
kindled against the children of Israel.
2 And
Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east of
Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men
went up and viewed Ai.
3 And
they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but
let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the
people to labour thither; for they are but few.
4 So
there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled
before the men of Ai.
5 And
the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from
before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore
the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

When you are not a
champion, only a few people pay attention to you.
But by the time you become a
champion, you will be on the radar of many people, including your enemies. A
champion has more enemies to contend with than an ordinary contender.
The Almighty had
warned the children of Israel not to take anything from Jericho as booty, but
Achan defied this instruction and stole part of the accursed materials. Joshua
did not know about this. This singular act brought a lot of war causalities to
the Israelites and turned the whole nation to ex-war champions. Beloved of God,
I want to encourage you to abstain from any form of ungodliness because it is
deadly (Romans 6:23). After a man’s sins are forgiven, the next thing is for
the fellow to stop living in sin and to perform restitution (make good
everything you’ve done wrong).
Prayer Point
Holy Spirit, please help to be vigilant in maintaining my victory in
Christ and help me not to fall into any temptation.
