CAC DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE (THE LIVING WATER) THURSDAY ,JANUARY 14,2016

TOPIC :          AREN'T YOU THE ENEMY?
READ  :          PHILIPPIANS 3:17-21
MEMORISE : Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.(Mark 5:5)

There once a woman who joined witchcraft to protect her children. Surprisingly and very sadly, she ended up killing all the children she had initially wanted to protect through the demonic machinery she put up as refuge for them. When the last child died, she cried bitterly that the wicked ones had gotten her, claiming that witches and wizards were the cause of her problems. Who was she deceiving? Weren't she the source of her own predicament?

Are you not like her? Paul said that many work as enemy of the cross by (a) making their stomach count more than God's interest/work, (glorifying in shameful things, such as transparent clothing, foul languages,brawling, magical WATER/oil, syncretic Christianity ,etc. Are there no grudges, in your heart against your fellows? Are you loyal to the constituted authorities? Or,what exactly are you doing that you think you can deceive people about, making them think you are on the right path? You can't deceive God; you will reap your input in life (GALATIANS 6:7-9)

Don't be like that demoniac who,night and day, afflicted himself with great torment. Don't be your own enemy by doing things that can boomerang tomorrow. Check the condition of your heart now,so that you won't  have to regret later.

PRAYER POINTS :
1. Oh God,thank you for this privilege to reassess my life.
2. Lord help me to retrace my steps back home from the ways I have become the enemy of the cross and myself.
3. Pray that to God should facilitate the conversions of the enemies of the  Cross in this nation to give the church peace in the land.

EXTRA READING FOR TODAY : EXODUS 1 -- 4
