Today’s Reading:
Psalm 99: Deuteronomy 9:6-14; Acts 10:1-8
God reigns supreme in our lives and His judgement stands sure; He gives to each one according to what we have done. Unlike the government of this world whose judgement can be filled with biased, hate, strife and so on. God on the other hand rewards everyone according to how they have lived and what they sow in equity, justice, righteousness and in love (Psalm 99:4). In Deuteronomy 9:6-14, the children of Israel provoked God to wrath in the wilderness and rebelled against God until they came out of Egypt, even at Horeb, they provoked God that God was ready to destroy them. God will give to everyone whatever it is their fruit has yielded. God also looked into the heart of Cornelius, saw his deeds, wish and how much Cornelius has invested in His kingdom and God sent Peter to bless him. The judgement of God stands in the lives of believers and hence believer must learn to work in the righteous path of the father.
Things that provoke the wrath of God includes:
Disobedience and not yielding to the warnings of God like the Israelites (Deut. 9:6-10)
Trusting in our own flesh to serve God ( Jeremiah 17:5)
Not acknowledging God's supremacy over our lives (Ephesians 2:8-10)
Doing things of our will and not of God's will (Proverb 3:5-6, Romans 12:2)
Things believers should look out for concerning the judgement of God:
That if we fall down on our face, realize our wrongs and cry for mercy, God is ever willing and able to forgive us cause He is righteous, loving and plenteous in mercy and grace ( 1 John 1:9, Psalm 103:10-14)
The judgement of God also includes reward for the good deeds of believers ( Act 10:1-8)
God's judgement will forever stand in the world

Prayer:
Lord make me a vessel of honour in Your vineyard, in Jesus name.
Father take away from our lives the passion for sin and things that do not promote your love in our lives
Father put in me the passion for your word and commandments
We come against the spirit of stubbornness and lukewarmness that does not make the church to grow in your power and word in Jesus name.
Every sin that drag this nation backward, Lord deliver this nation from them in Jesus name.
