Daily Scripture Threshing for Friday, April 3, 2020
Today’s Text: Ezekiel 14:1-11
Key Verse: Ezekiel 14:4 (NKJV): ”Therefore speak to them, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Everyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him who comes, according to the multitude of his idols”
The principle that when man persists in going counter to God’s revealed will, He (God) gives him over to reprobate mind is consistent through the Scripture. We have become so knowledgeable that we are so confused. Is God not answering our age according to the multitude of the idols we make of our knowledge? Or why are we so much in darkness whereas true light exists?
The answer is in today’s text: No man can hope to know what God would have him to do unless his heart is truly submissive to Divine will; and no heart will submit to Divine will unless it is truly rid of idols. That’s why our age gropes in darkness of deception and illusions. This is evident on our social media and on the news. Is the words of Isaiah 44:20 not true that we feed on ashes; and are misled by our deluded hearts?! O how God is calling on us to purge our hearts of its idols!
Quote for the Day: "No man can enjoy the blessings of outward reformation as long as there is deformation in his innermost being.” (Simon Olatunji)
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for given me a brand new opportunity to know your will. Please create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, in Jesus Christ name. Amen.
With all my love and prayer,
Rev Simon Wale Olatunji, PhD
