Saturday 4th November, 2023.

Topic: From Religion To Relationship.

Memory Verse : Acts 17:26. Starting from scratch, he made the entire human race and made the earth hospitable, with plenty of time and space for living

Bible Reading: Acts 17:22-24 MSG. Key Verse: v24.

So Paul took his stand in the open space at the Areopagus and laid it out for them. “It is plain to see that you Athenians take your religion seriously. When I arrived here the other day, I was fascinated with all the shrines I came across. And then I found one inscribed, to the god nobody knows. I’m here to introduce you to this God so you can worship intelligently, know who you’re dealing with. “The God who made the world and everything in it, this Master of sky and land, doesn’t live in custom-made shrines

Many people are just like the people of Athens who were very religious in their own ways without knowing the true God who made the heavens and the earth. They believe only in what their eyes can see. That is the reason they like bowing down to things created by God while they ignore the invisible God. “Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;”Exodus 20:3-5.

When men serve idols, they break the hedge of divine protection and open themselves up to divine curses and judgment that follow the rebellious. Many are not interested in serving God in spirit and truth. They rather try to stay with what they knew in the past that helped nobody around them, maybe because of demonic culture they inherited from ungodly people. “For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:” Acts 17:28-30.

Today Jesus had paid the price of death to redeem us. We are his offsprings, made after his likeness. He desires that we all as a family return to the place of knowing him by intimate relationship. We need to realise that he is real, though we can’t see with our physical eyes, we can always tune into his realm by faith and through the functioning of his Spirit living inside us. That is when we can be said to be complete in him who created and controls all things and men. When this happens, we can be known as men who are kept by his great power to function as to be protected from every negativity that is not part of the covenant of blessing.

Prayer :Father God deliver me from religion and help me to live a life of intimate relationship with you. I want to be found in you always. Let your Spirit empower me to journey with you by faith unto everlasting victory in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿

Yearly Bible Reading : Acts 17:16-34.
