Prayer before the Word:
_ O God, guide me to study Your word and apply the lessons accordingly in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: The downfall of an anointed
Text: Romans 1: 21- 30 (NIV):
"1:21. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
1:22. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
1:23. and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
1:24. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
1:25. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen.
1:26. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
1:27. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
1:28. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.1:29. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,1:30. slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;"
SHOWER (Reflection):
When God anoints a man, He uplifts him above his enemies. King Saul was a perfect example of what God can do with His anointed, and how He can equally bring them down. Today's scripture says although they know God, they chose not to glorify Him. The effect of abandoning Him to another God is shameful death. Look at what God has detected they were doing and assured them evil end. Retrace your footsteps before it is too late. You are God's anointed...so do only that He sanctions.
