BIBLE READING: Ezekiel 3:17-20
17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Bible Reading In One Year: Psalms 119:49-176, 1 Corinthians 4:1-21
TEENS OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 22ND AUGUST 2020.
You might have heard of this Once saved, forever saved doctrine. Several children of God have been misled by this doctrine, so if you’ve heard of it, it is in your best interest that you don’t believe it. They say that once you are saved, you are forever saved and they support this with Hebrews 7:25 which says “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.”
They also believe that salvation is eternal, that is, once you give your life to Christ, you can commit sin, yet you will make it to heaven. This is a big lie. You will only get to heaven when you continue to obey Christ. Hebrews 10:38 says: “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”
My dear, you need to continue in the faith. You have to work out your salvation with fear and trembling till the end of the age. Anyone who does the work of the flesh will not make heaven. Galatians 5:19-21
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please save your children from the wave of false doctrines in Jesus’ name.
Hymn: Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus
Hymn: Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus
- Stand up! Stand up for Jesus,
Ye soldiers of the Cross!
Lift high His royal banner,
It must not suffer loss.
From victory unto victory
His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed. - Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The solemn watchword hear;
If while ye sleep he suffers,
Away with shame and fear.
Where’re yeah meet with evil,
Within you or without,
Charge for the God of battles,
And put the foe to rout. - Stand up! Stand up for Jesus!
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you,
Ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the gospel armour,
And watching unto prayer;
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there. - Stand up! Stand up for Jesus!
The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle,
The next the victor’s song.
To him that overcometh
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glory
Shall reign eternally.
