REMEMBER LOT’S WIFE II – Tuesday August
4th 2020
Memorise: Wise men lay up knowledge: but the
mouth of the foolish is near destruction. Proverb 10:14
Read: Psalm 90:12 (KJV)
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts
unto wisdom.
Message:-
It is wise to learn from the experience of
others, but sometimes, we ourselves have experiences that we ought to learn
from. Nebuchadnezzar was a man who learnt from his personal experience.

God had
warned him in a dream and also arranged also to counsel him on how to escape
the wrath of God. Unfortunately, he did not heed the warning and for seven
years, he ate grass like an animal (Daniel 4). Thank God he got a second
chance. By the time he came back to his senses, he had learnt his lesson and
now recognised Jehovah as the real King. Nobody and now recognised Jehovah as
the real King. Nobody needed to teach him that again: his experience had done
enough. Daniel 4:34 says:

“And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up
mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed
the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose
dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to
generation:”
There
are however, some foolish people who refuse to either learn from the experience
of others or even theirs. Such people usually never live to tell the story.
King Pharaoh for example, should have realised, at least by the third plague
that the God of Israel is not a God to fight. Little wonder God hardened his
heart afterwards and he did not realise this truth even after the tenth plague
and his eventual death (Exodus 9).
Open Heaven 4 August 2020 Tuesday: Reflection
Many
people talk about the foolishness of Pharaoh, but some are doing the same
thing. How can someone who committed adultery and lost some privileges from
that act still go back into it? How can someone who stole and was imprisoned
come out and steal? For people who refused to learn from personal experience,
the end will be disastrous if they don’t repent and forsake their sins. A word
is enough for the wise.
Reflection
Learn from your past experiences and those of
others. Remember Lots wife.
