Exodus 32:26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
Praise the Lord!!
Saints, Today we will meditate upon an important question which has always been a topic of discussion for ages.
1. Whose side should we be on?
In today's world people have a HERD mentality, they follow anyone who is popular, strong, presentable, showoff and powerful. But is this the right way?
Bible says :
James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
2. Whom should we trust?
Bible says:
Psalms 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
I am reminded of a famous debate between Elijah and Baal worshippers. Untill then Israelites would worship God Jehovah with whole heart, soul and spirit. After Ahab married Jezebel, she destroyed all the altars and forced people to worship Baal. Much as in these current times, where we find persecution to those who worship Lord.
Elijah asked Israelites this question
1 Kings 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
Notice, how he threw a challenge to the people to follow what is right. He challenged Israelites to test the Lord and follow the one who is a true God.
Romans 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
Lord commanded his people to be Holy as He is Holy, not to be double minded but follow him with all spirit and truth.
Ephesians 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
1 Peter 3:13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
Saints, we are living in end times, Jesus is soon coming to judge the world.
3. How can we know whether we are following as per Lord's will?
Isaiah 48:17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
Lord is God, He will show you the way you should go, things you should say, works that you should do.
4. What would be the repercussions of not following Lord?
Saints, it is a dangerous thing to fall in the hands of God. If you compromise, follow the world, do as per your will.
Bible says:
Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
Revelation 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Your heart can fall into mischief, if you don't fear the Lord.
Proverbs 28:14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
Saints, Don't harden the heart, today when you hear his voice. Follow what is good, pure and holy. Remember we have a God who is in heaven who will reward your efforts. Your hope will not be in vain.
Hebrews 3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
God bless
