Topic:My
Daddy
Text: I Corinthians 6:14-18
You
cannot play games with God and get away with it. The most intelligent
of men can be deceived, but the Bible tells us that God cannot
be mocked. What you shovel to God is what He shovels back at you.
We are often quick at shifting blames on God. Whenever something
is not working fine we try to give the false impression that we
are doing out best, only that we can’t understand why things
are going the wrong way.
Unfortunately,
many are being mocked because there is no trace of God’s
goodness in them. But why should a true child of God become an
object of ridicule? Why are people still mocking us? Why are people
still asking, “Where is your God?” Why are they asking?
“Is your God asleep?” We know that the One whom we
serve neither sleeps nor slumbers. If so, why are they asking
you, “Is your God on vacation?” God is everywhere.
He is never on holiday. Could it be that we have not met all His
conditions as stated in our text? One American preacher once asked
me what gave me the boldness to call God, “Daddy.”
I told him it was because He is my Daddy.I
asked him to emulate me. He said He could not because he felt
so filthy. I like honest men. God also loves honest people. If
you want to call Him “Daddy” you have to meet the
conditions He has laid down for this.
One
young man in the ministry was given a motorcycle to enhance his
work. He soon had an accident with the motorcycle. I went to greet
him and asked God why such a worker should be involved in an accident.
The young man said he went to do follow-up but God said he was
not telling the truth. I asked him for the truth and he confessed
to me that he was coming from a brothel.
God
will not accept a mixture of water and fire, or light and darkness.
It is either you are fire all the way or water all the way. A
combination will not work.
Memory Verse: II Corinthians 6:14 - “Be ye not unequally
yoked together with unbelievers for what fellowship hath righteousness
with unrighteousness? And what communion hath right with darkness?”
