Either Side of the River

By | Eyesalve

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15

 

No matter what side of the river you are on, there will be idols there to allure you. They will not leave. So you have no choice but to make up your mind who you and your house will serve. (Fill in the blank) As for me and my house we will __________________. AMEN

Wolves Reproduce

By | Eyesalve

“For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.” Acts 20:29

 

Wolves also know how to produce offspring after them. They have since the days of the early church and still are today. One day we will never have to deal with wolves, but until then, beware they are still around.

All The Counsel

By | Eyesalve

“For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.” Acts 20:27

This scripture is the very reason that I am careful not to be a pastor who is always over promoting a favorite doctrine or topic. If the physical body needs well balanced meals how much more does the body of Christ need a WHOLE meal of the word of God.

His Life Wasn’t Dear

By | Eyesalve

“Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.” Acts 20:23

 

I wonder how many of us would decide to quit our walk with the Lord if we were told that the only thing we can be sure awaits us in the coming days is bonds and afflictions. Paul stayed faithful, even though he knew what lay in store for him. The secret to his victory is found in the next verse. He did not find his life dear to him.

Raised in You

By | Eyesalve

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9

 

There is no better way for the unsaved to believe that God raised Jesus from the dead than to see Him raised in you.

Courage Obeys

By | Eyesalve

“Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.” Joshua 1:18

 

This is the fourth time in chapter one of Joshua that the command is given to be strong and of good courage. Notice this is a command from God. A person may think, how can you command someone to be courageous if they have fear? Can you just command the fear away? No you can’t, but if you are willing to just obey what God tells you to do, you will be acting in courage. If you are going to fear anything, fear the consequences of not obeying God.

Generation To Come

By | Eyesalve

“Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,” Joshua 1:1

 

Thank God there was another man who God called to lead and who God would talk to in the generation that followed after Moses. We have had men in decades past who have led Christ’s church and have had the Lord talk to them. Thank God we have such men today in our generation. I have a question for the young saints. Will there be such men in the next generation to come?

The Good That Jesus Did

By | Eyesalve

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Acts 10:38

 

Let us ask God to anoint us to do the kind of good that Jesus did. The good He did was heal people of demonic oppression. We could do all kinds of nice things for people, but what good would it be if they were left under the bondage of the devil?

Notable Miracles

By | Eyesalve

“Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.” Acts 4:16

 

Lord, grant that your power would be on display through us Your church, so those who witness it would not be able to deny it. Let us never cause those that we witness to become skeptics.

You Have to Take It

By | Eyesalve

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” Acts 3:19

 

The word converted comes from the Greek word epistrepho which means to revert or turn. This word brings more clarity of what it means to repent. Salvation is a free gift, but you still have to do something to get it. I know saying something like that causes a lot of Christians to get nervous. However, you have to repent of your sins and turn away from them and turn to God if you want salvation. It is not different than if someone gives you a present. You have to reach out and take it from them. So if one is going to get saved, they have to humble themselves and turn to God to get it.
