Speaker 1: Salum to you all, wonderful people of God. Thank you
Speaker 1: for joining us for our morning glory devotion on the
Speaker 1: radio ACI today of the Harvest Chapel International Commercy. Facilitating
Speaker 1: today's episode. Our pastor and dickiness is a prayer that
Speaker 1: God was strending us through this morning's inspiration. In Jesus
Speaker 1: Mighty name, Amen, Amen beloved, Please let's share what of prayer. Father,
Speaker 1: We thank you for another glorious day your blessures. We
Speaker 1: are grateful for your constant care and love for us
Speaker 1: every day. As we approach your word this morning, we
Speaker 1: ask that you set our hopes alive again. Thank you Father.
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Chries, we pray, Amen Beloved.
Speaker 1: Please let's take our confession together from Joshua chapter one,
Speaker 1: verse eight. This book of the Law shall not depart
Speaker 1: out of my mind, but I shall meditate in it
Speaker 1: day and night, that I may observe to do according
Speaker 1: to all that is written in it. For them. I
Speaker 1: will make my way prosperous, and then I will have
Speaker 1: good success, Amen beloved. The topic for today's episode is
Speaker 1: God Won't Shame us. God Won't shame us. An ia
Speaker 1: text will be taking from Psalm chapter thirty four, the
Speaker 1: first one through verse ten. I'll be reading from the
Speaker 1: New English translation some thirty four written by David when
Speaker 1: he pretended to be insane before Abmelech, causing the king
Speaker 1: to send him away. This one. I will praise the
Speaker 1: Lord at all times. My mouth will continually praise him.
Speaker 1: I will boast in the Lord. Lady who pressed hear
Speaker 1: and rejoice. Magnify the Lord with me. Let's praise his
Speaker 1: name together. As thought the Lord's help, and he answered me.
Speaker 1: He delivered me from all my fears. Those who look
Speaker 1: to him for help are happy. Their phases are not ashamed.
Speaker 1: This oppressed man cried out, and the Lord head he
Speaker 1: saved him from all his troubles. The loss angels comes around.
Speaker 1: The Lord's lawyer follow us and deliver us. Then taste
Speaker 1: and see that the Lord is good. How blessed is
Speaker 1: the one who takes shelter in him. Remain loyal to
Speaker 1: the Lord. You chosen people of his for his lawyer.
Speaker 1: Followers lack nothing. Even young lions sometimes lack food and
Speaker 1: are hangling by those who seek the Lord. Black, low,
Speaker 1: good thing beloved. Here ends the reading of the word
Speaker 1: of the Lord thanks being to God.
Speaker 2: God won't shame us. The Bible gives us several examples
Speaker 2: of people who look to God put their trust in
Speaker 2: God even when people despise them and suppose that they
Speaker 2: would put to shame. However, a God who is ever
Speaker 2: faithful did actually show up for them beloved. In the
Speaker 2: opening Scriptures, we read about one of such examples. David
Speaker 2: had to run away from soul under strange circumstances and
Speaker 2: once sunk hero to a fugitive. It is believed that
Speaker 2: this sum was written when he escaped from a beemelech
Speaker 2: by pretending to be mad. He and the men who
Speaker 2: followed him had no help but to trust and to
Speaker 2: look to God for security, help, sustenance and survival. God, indeed,
Speaker 2: who is ever faithful, showed up for them, and in
Speaker 2: the end, like David himself said in the sum thirty
Speaker 2: four US five, their faces were not put to shame. Similarly,
Speaker 2: Daniel is another example we can look at when we
Speaker 2: are not sure whether I stannd to trust in God
Speaker 2: is worth it. Daniel chapter six. As a result of
Speaker 2: his faith in God, Daniel got implicated and the challenge
Speaker 2: was placed whether his trust in God was worth it. Beloved.
Speaker 2: Once again, God showed himself faithful statch that in the
Speaker 2: midst of the lions den God shut up the mouth
Speaker 2: of the lions, and Daniel's life was spared. God did
Speaker 2: not shame him, dear one, In our work with God,
Speaker 2: like David, like Daniel, we will be presented with some
Speaker 2: challenging times. Sometimes in the world's judgment, it may seem
Speaker 2: we have made a fool out of ourselves by trusting
Speaker 2: in God. We may, as a result of our faith,
Speaker 2: commit so much of our resources such as money, time, talent,
Speaker 2: and buildings to the work of God, and the world
Speaker 2: may make fun of us, as though we would have
Speaker 2: been better of investing those resources elsewhere. It may be
Speaker 2: that for you, you let go of an unhealthy relationship
Speaker 2: with the world demand for the sake of Christ, and
Speaker 2: the world is counting on that as your biggest mistake,
Speaker 2: and probably you have had no other potential spouse showing
Speaker 2: up after years of prayers and fasten for one vre one.
Speaker 2: The list may be endless on the things we may
Speaker 2: have exchange for the sake of our faith, or, like Daniel,
Speaker 2: the things we have had to endeal, particularly at the
Speaker 2: hands of the world because of the stand we have
Speaker 2: taken for God, the ties of life may come in
Speaker 2: blowing strongly are you and all may seem to rise
Speaker 2: up against you. Sometimes family, friends, and even some believers
Speaker 2: you are hoping will stand in support of you in
Speaker 2: your decision. For Christ may be in no position, pushing
Speaker 2: you to a point of near given up. Beloved, are
Speaker 2: you at a point and anxiety have filled your heart
Speaker 2: because it looks as though you have made a mistake
Speaker 2: putting your faith in God against the advice of others,
Speaker 2: and that you are going to be put to shame.
Speaker 2: Take her, dear one. Definitely between the start and the
Speaker 2: end will be times of the spare struggles, anxiety, and
Speaker 2: even sometimes temporary victories for your opposers. But take heart,
Speaker 2: God will not shame us, not in this life nor
Speaker 2: in the world to come. Like David and Daniels stood
Speaker 2: strongly in their faith towards God, and we have indicated
Speaker 2: at the end here on earth and in the life
Speaker 2: here after, God will remain faithful to us. God will
Speaker 2: keep to his end of the bargain, and we need to,
Speaker 2: as a matter of urgency, stick to our faith and
Speaker 2: trust in God. God does not leave us in the
Speaker 2: dark on what he intends to do with us or
Speaker 2: what our end will look life, in this life and
Speaker 2: the hereafter. Ultimately, as the scriptures have said, the hope
Speaker 2: we have in Jesus Christ doesn't disappoint Romans Chapter five,
Speaker 2: verse five. Irrespective of today's circumstances, we can still rejoice
Speaker 2: in the hope of God's glory Romans Chapter five, verse two,
Speaker 2: and Collisions Chapter one, verse twenty seven. Our end will
Speaker 2: definitely be the glory of the Lord. We will not
Speaker 2: be confounded, our faces will not be put to shame.
Speaker 2: God richly bless you, Amen beloved our memory. Verse for
Speaker 2: today is taken from Some thirty four verse five, reading
Speaker 2: from the King James version. They looked onto him and
Speaker 2: were lightened, and their faces were not ashamed. They looked
Speaker 2: onto him and were lightened, and their faces were not ashamed. Please,
Speaker 2: let's bow our heads for a word of prayer. Further,
Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus, we thank you for this
Speaker 2: reminder you have given to us today. Thank you that
Speaker 2: our hope in You is not in vain, and that
Speaker 2: indeed our faces will never be ashamed. Further, in times
Speaker 2: when we are pressed, in times when we feel like
Speaker 2: giving up because we do not see hope coming. Papa,
Speaker 2: we pray that you remind us and let this truth
Speaker 2: resonate the ones I trust is in you. You will
Speaker 2: never forsake us, You will never shame us. We thank you,
Speaker 2: We bless you, and your grace is with us to
Speaker 2: help us.
Speaker 1: To the end.
Speaker 2: In Jesus' name have we prayed, Amen.
Speaker 1: Amen, pressures run. Indeed, God won't shame us, and so
Speaker 1: you don't have to allow any present circumstance to make
Speaker 1: you bow in shame and still aware of hope and
Speaker 1: confidence in God. Our God is ever faithful and will
Speaker 1: show up for your good when you least expect, and
Speaker 1: your countenance will be with bright smiles of joy because
Speaker 1: the Lord would have lifted up your head in his glory.
Speaker 1: God richly bless you. We pray that God will help
Speaker 1: all of us to keep our hopes alive and to
Speaker 1: continue to trust Him now and always in Jesus' mighty name.
Speaker 1: Amen and Amen beloved, soil we come your way again.
