DAY 7: GOD CHOSE NOAH

-

 THE RHEMA WORD FOR TODAY

(A DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM)

 


TOPIC: GOD CHOSE NOAH

DATE: 7 SEPTEMBER, 2020

BIBLE READING: GENESIS 6:5-22

MEDITATION/MEMORY VERSE: GENESIS 6:8 (NKJV)

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

 

The story of Noah has caught the attention of many people. A Google search pf ‘Noah’s Ark Bible Story’ yields around 4 million results. The history of the flood and eight people (who we know are Noah and his family) who witnessed it is inevitable.

The story of Noah is such an interesting story no doubt. He found grace in the eyes of God to build an ark to save himself, his family and the animal species from the flood because of his close walk and fellowship with God (Gen. 6: 8, 9). In other words, he was chosen because of his yieldedness,

The Bible says, ‘But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.’ (Rom. 4:5 NKJV). Noah was called a righteous man, not because of what he did, but because he believed God by having a close walk with Him.

The Bible says, ‘… there is none righteous, no, not one.’ (Rom. 3:10 NKJV). ‘… and all our righteousness are like filthy rags…’ (Isa. 64:6 NKJV). So there was nothing Noah could do that would have earned him the name of a righteous man.

Yesterday, we saw the account of Abel. He yielded to God, and so God chose him. Same with Noah, he believed God; that was why he was chosen for the task. His believing God shows his yieldedness and that was why he obeyed God by doing everything exactly as He had been commanded him.

God does not just choose you for nothing, he chooses you because he has a unique assignment for you to do. You are created and designed for His glory. But Noah found grace with the Lord.

 

DECLARATION: I FIND GRACE WITH GOD!

Hosea‬ ‭2:23‬ ‭GNB I will establish my people in the land and make them prosper. I will show love to those who were called “Unloved”, and to those who were called “Not-my-People” I will say, “You are my people,” and they will answer, “You are our God.” The Lord is about to prosper us in all areas of our life, but He must first establish us in Him. It is until we're established in Him, our prosperity will have no root to last long. The Lord has said to us, “I will establish you.” Another area of God's establishment this year is in the area of His love. Ephesians 3:17 NIV So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love. The Lord has said to us, “I will uproot every plant that I have not planted. And get you rooted and established in My love.” (Matt. 15:13; Eph. 3:17). Falsehood will die as Truth will thrive. Every wind of doctrine will vanish, because the full knowledge of Christ will be established.  Strange practi

 PHRONESIS DEVOTIONAL 30 DAYS DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM September 22, 2023. Topic: TRUE RICHES Bible Reading: Matthew 6:19-34 Verse for Meditation: 1 Timothy 6:6 NLT Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. About sexual temptation, if you are struggling to break free, you must first be saved so that you can be given the Holy Spirit to empower you to live above sin. But breaking free and living constantly above sin; especially sexual sins, it take discipline and consistency. You don’t stay fit on the first day you go to the gym to work out; it takes consistent exercise and discipline to achieve that, so does exercising ourselves towards godliness (1Tim. 4:7). When you fall, you need to rise again to continue with the exercise. It was a constant practice that made that sexual habit called addiction. So you need to deliberately keep at it constantly till the appetite to sin dies. Spiritual attack is real, but what we call spiritual attack is actually a lack of knowle
