TOPIC: SLOW DOWN: COME APART OR BREAK APART!
CLICK HEER TO READ ODM 6 February 2023 BASIC SCRIPTURES
Today’s first scripture Vs. 31 says: “And He said unto them, ‘Come ye yourselves apart unto a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.” The importance of this scripture lies on the fact that the statement was made by Jesus. The summary of the above scripture is that Jesus was asking His disciples to slow down and take things easy because it’s only one life. We live in a fast-lane world where everything and everybody seems to be in a haste. Most of our New Year resolutions actually accelerates our pace of life instead of helping us to slow down. In a quest for greater productivity and efficiency, we over-schedule our days, then rush through meals, drive impatiently, and wonder why the joy of living eludes us. Carol Odell penned: “Slowing down can positively affect our lives at work and at home.” She believes that rushing can cloud our judgment and cause us to overlook important things and valuable people. Carol encourages everyone to slow down, and even suggests the radical idea of welcoming red traffic lights and using the waiting time to meditate. In this year 2023, it is in your slowing down moments that meditation is possible! Psalm 1:2 says: “But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night.” It describes a person who enjoys the blessings/favour of God. The Secret Is Creating Time To Meditate! So, when you slow down, you meditate not only on God’s Word but also on your choices and decisions. Isaiah 26:3 says: “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” Someone has said: “If you’re working hard to make a living, never taking time to smell the roses, now’s the time to heed the Bible’s wisdom: ‘Find true joy before your life’s day closes.” Hear Havner: “Come Apart And Rest A While Or You May Just Plain Come Apart.” God forbid! Learn to slow down or you break apart! Peace! ODM Bishop Chris 6 February 2023

Hello friend! Before you open to the next page, I want to ask you a very important question. ARE YOU BORN AGAIN? OR WERE YOU ONCE BORN AGAIN BUT HAVE BACKSLIDED? If you are not SURE that you are born again, take time to settle that issue now because this great devotional will be meaningless to you, except you are born again. Read John 3:3. If you are in the second category, I want to let you know that God is the God of a second chance. This is an opportunity for you to make up with Jesus Christ. Bow down your head right now and re-dedicate your life to God. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE BORAN GAIN, YOU MUST FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW:
(1) Acknowledge your sins: For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23, 6:23)
(2) Believe in your heart that Jesus died for you! (Rom 10:9)
(3) Repent, confess and forsake your sins: Luke 13:3, Acts
3:19, 1 John 1:9, Isaiah 55:7. See John 3:16!.
TO RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST INTO YOUR LIFE, PLEASE PRAY AND CONFESS THE FOLLOWING:
“Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe in my heart that He died for my sins, I believe that You raised Him from the dead for my justification. Lord Jesus, come into my heart right now. I receive YOU today as my personal Lord and Saviour, and I give God the glory. Amen.” (PRAY IT UNTIL YOU HAVE PEACE/JOY IN YOUR HEART).
If you have sincerely prayed this prayer, then you are now Born Again. Congratulations dear friend!
