DON’T LOSE CONFIDENCE
IN CHRIST – Sunday May 31st 2020
Memorise: Cast not
away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. Hebrew
10:35
Read: Hebrews
10:35-39 (KJV)
35 Cast not
away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of
God, ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will
not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my
soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them
that believe to the saving of the soul.
Bible in one year: Psalm
119:89-176, Hymn: Sing hymn 15
Losing
trust in Christ’s ability to do anything and everything has several terrible
spiritual implications. For example, If anyone loses confidence in the
sufficiency of Christ regarding the atonement for sins, such a person could
turn to idols for supplementary atonement.

A
displeased Paul wrote to the church in Galatia “I do not frustrate the grace of God: for it righteousness come by the
law, then Christ is dead in vain” (Galatians 2:21). They had apparently
lost confidence in the grace that earned them salvation and had begun to resort
to self-righteousness through religious activities.
Today,
like the Galatian Church who considered keeping of the Jewish traditional laws,
some people do not think the gospel is enough for them. So, they give in to
demonic alternatives.
“O foolish Galatians, who hath
bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth… Are you so foolish? Having
begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?”
Galatians 3:1,3

Do
not lose confidence in God due to impatience. The just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17). Some people doubt
Malachi 3:10-12 and then blaspheme became things are not going as planned
despite their faithfulness in the payment of tithes and offerings. Some others
now query monogamy as a Christian doctrine. Jesus Christ is however the same
yesterday, today and forever (Hebrew 13:8). We cannot modify God’s laws to suit
ourselves.
Open Heaven 31 May 2020´Sunday: Prayer Point
Brethren,
nothing should make us fret, not severe persecutions, not trials of faith. God
wants you to trust Him completely; there is no problem He cannot resolve. Never
seek solutions to your problems from the devil or his agents. Psalm 16:4 says: “Their sorrows shall be multiplied that
hasten after another god….”
Make
God your refuge and strength. He is a very present help and will never forsake
you (Psalm 46:11, Romans 8:35)
Prayer Point
Father, please help
me to hold on to You and let my confidence in Christ increase, rather than
diminish in the mighty name of Jesus.
