Friday 3 August Bible in one year : Proverbs 29-31
Memorise:
and they also, if they abide not not still in unbelief,shall be gaffed
in :for God is able to graft them in again. Romans 11:23
Read: Romans 11:15-24
All
the fantastic promises God made to the nation of Israel were
transferred to the new Israel of God birthed by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 2:28-29 reveals that a displacement of natural Jews has occurred
in the spirit;hence we spiritual Jews, right now have a central place in
God's heart and occupy a major place in God's agenda for the last days.
From this switch, we learn that nobody is indispensable and no nation
or people are indispensable.Whatever the Lord has assigned to you,for
which the grace to do it as being released, accept it and handle with
all humility, thankfulness ,faithfulness, and dedication because if
otherwise handled,you can be replaced.God has no plan to replace anyone
who is faithfully occupying the position given to him or her; rather he
wants to add more responsibility to the fellow.You shall not be replaced
in Jesus name.If you are doing something in a wrong way and you are
being corrected, but you think you know better, and so you refuse to
change course, you are calling for the hammer. When it falls, blame
nobody but yourself.
Another lesson here is that God is never
moved by outward appearance or empty promises but by action and
performance. If you want to move God, perform .Put an end to empty
promises or boasts!He is not also not moved by outward shows but by the
content of the heart.If you are a spiritual Jew- a Jew by the reason of
your new birth experience in Christ Jesus , you qualify to claim all the
promises God made to Abraham. So what happens to the nation of Israel?
To be relevant, they have to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and become part
of His body - the Church. Such people will be spiritual Jews as well
as Jews in the flesh. However, Paul by the Spirit warns spiritual Jews
not to show pride or any form of boasting because the same God who broke
off the natural branches (nation of Israel) and grafted us into the
olive tree, is able to brake us off too. What will determine whether you
will remain or not are your works of faith , obedience, service and
humility. Eventually , after the rapture of the church,God will resume
His plan for the nation of Israel. Maximise your spiritual nationality
while you have the opportunity.
ACTION POINT: List out 20 covenants blessings of a spiritual Jew. How
many of these have you benefited from? Ask God to manifest pending
promises in your life.
