TOPIC: WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN INTRODUCED TO?

Today's SCRIPTURE: And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. MATTHEW 24 verse 12.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: What you become in life is a product of what you have been introduced to. You are a product of your influences.

Our anchor Scripture reveals one of the signs of the end time, the abundance of iniquity. This means, anytime you see the unimaginable escalation of wickedness and lawlessness, the end is near.

In our world today, there is an abundance of iniquity everywhere you turn.

Sometime ago, I watched on CNN, a pathetic story of a boy. The boy was from one of the Asian countries. He was just two years old at the time of the news.

The pathetic thing was that this two-year-old boy was already a chain smoker.

A chain smoker at age two?

Unbelievable!
The boy smoked a minimum of two packets of cigarette every single day.

When they interviewed his father, he said, “We introduced him to cigarette when he was two months old. And the moment the cigarette finishes, he begins to cry for more.”

Can you imagine a child that was introduced to iniquity at such a tender age? The parents have jeopardized his life and destiny.

Beloved, the question for you today is, what have you been introduced to?
What lifestyle of iniquity have you allowed people to introduce you to? As a parent, what did you introduce your children to? Just like this two-year-old boy in our story, there are mothers who introduce their daughters to prostitution and there are fathers who rape their own daughters. Such immoral influences will eventually ruin the lives of those children.

There are teenagers who introduce their friends to immorality, stealing, armed robbery, and all kinds of vices. We have in our world today, young men who have been introduced to internet fraud and all kind of cyber crimes.

As a person, what wrong lifestyle are you introducing people to?

Remember, many lives and destinies have been ruined because of exposure to wrong influences and habits.

However, the opposite is the case when people are exposed to positive influences or introduced to good habit. Hannah introduced her son, Samuel, to the Presence of God early in life, no wonder Samuel grew up to became a prophet.

You see, what you become in life is a product of what you have been introduced to. You are a product of your influences.

Therefore, guard your life against negative influences.

Remember this: What you become in life is a product of what you have been introduced to. You are a product of your influences.

Take this ASSIGNMENT with you:
#1. Make up your mind to deal with any negative lifestyle and habit that you have been introduced to in the past.
#2. Avoid negative influences; connect with right associations and positive influences.
#3. Press more into God and his Word to guide you through life. Yes sir!

Our PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You destroy from my life, every wrong habit and lifestyle I may have inherited from previous wrong companies and bad influences. Reveal yourself to me and connect me with the right association and influence, Lord, in Jesus Name. Amen.

QUOTE: Sin makes a person feel defeated. Culled from the book, “21 Foolish Things People Do” by Dr Paul Enenche.

Today's DAILY READING: from the book of Isaiah chapter 25 to 27.
We read Isaiah chapter 25, O Lord, You are my God.I will exalt You,I will praise Your name,For You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. For You have made a city a ruin, A fortified city a ruin,A palace of foreigners to be a city no more; it will never be rebuilt. Therefore the strong people will glorify You; The city of the terrible nations will fear You. For You have been a strength to the poor,A strength to the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm,A shade from the heat;For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. You will reduce the noise of aliens,As heat in a dry place;As heat in the shadow of a cloud,The song of the terrible ones will be diminished. And in this mountain The Lord of hosts will make for all people A feast of choice pieces,A feast of wines on the lees,Of fat things full of marrow,Of well-refined wines on the lees. And He will destroy on this mountain The surface of the covering cast over all people,And the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth;For the Lord has spoken. And it will be said in that day:“Behold, this is our God;We have waited for Him, and He will save us.This is the Lord;We have waited for Him;We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.” For on this mountain the hand of the Lord will rest,And Moab shall be trampled down under Him,As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap. And He will spread out His hands in their midstAs a swimmer reaches out to swim,And He will bring down their prideTogether with the trickery of their hands. The fortress of the high fort of your walls He will bring down, lay low,And bring to the ground, down to the dust. Hallelujah!

Isaiah chapter 26, In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city;God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks. Open the gates,That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in. You will keep him in perfect peace,Whose mind is stayed on You,Because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever,For in Yah, the Lord, is everlasting strength. For He brings down those who dwell on high,The lofty city; He lays it low,He lays it low to the ground,He brings it down to the dust. The foot shall tread it down, The feet of the poor And the steps of the needy.” The way of the just is uprightness;O Most Upright, You weigh the path of the just. Yes, in the way of Your judgments, O Lord, we have waited for You;The desire of our soul is for Your name And for the remembrance of You. With my soul I have desired You in the night,Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early;For when Your judgments are in the earth,The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. Let grace be shown to the wicked,Yet he will not learn righteousness;In the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly,And will not behold the majesty of the Lord. Lord, when Your hand is lifted up, they will not see.But they will see and be ashamed For their envy of people;Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them. Lord, You will establish peace for us, For You have also done all our works in us. O Lord our God, masters besides You Have had dominion over us;But by You only we make mention of Your name. They are dead, they will not live; They are deceased, they will not rise.Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, And made all their memory to perish. You have increased the nation, O Lord,You have increased the nation;You are glorified;You have expanded all the borders of the land. Lord, in trouble they have visited You,They poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them. As a woman with child Is in pain and cries out in her pangs,When she draws near the time of her delivery,So have we been in Your sight, O Lord. We have been with child, we have been in pain;We have, as it were, brought forth wind;We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth,Nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen. Your dead shall live;Together with my dead body they shall arise.Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust;For your dew is like the dew of herbs,And the earth shall cast out the dead. Come, my people, enter your chambers,And shut your doors behind you;Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past. For behold, the Lord comes out of His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; The earth will also disclose her blood, And will no more cover her slain. Hallelujah!

Isaiah chapter 27, In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong, Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan that twisted serpent;And He will slay the reptile that is in the sea. In that day sing to her,“ A vineyard of red wine! I, the Lord, keep it,I water it every moment;Lest any hurt it,I keep it night and day. Fury is not in Me.Who would set briers and thorns Against Me in battle?I would go through them,I would burn them together. Or let him take hold of My strength,That he may make peace with Me;And he shall make peace with Me.” Those who come He shall cause to take root in Jacob;Israel shall blossom and bud,And fill the face of the world with fruit. Has He struck Israel as He struck those who struck him? Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him? In measure, by sending it away,You contended with it.He removes it by His rough wind In the day of the east wind. Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be covered; And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin:When he makes all the stones of the altar Like chalkstones that are beaten to dust,Wooden images and incense altars shall not stand. Yet the fortified city will be desolate,The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness; There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down And consume its branches. When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off;The women come and set them on fire.For it is a people of no understanding;Therefore He who made them will not have mercy on them,And He who formed them will show them no favor. And it shall come to pass in that day That the Lord will thresh,From the channel of the River to the Brook of Egypt;And you will be gathered one by one,O you children of Israel. So it shall be in that day:The great trumpet will be blown;They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria,And they who are outcasts in the land of Egypt,And shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!

AMAZING FACT: The sun has an outer atmosphere or “chromosphere” with a strong magnetic force. In this area, large explosions of energy and particles create solar flares and coronal mass ejections that can be seen from the Earth.

Today's PROPHETIC WORD and DECLARATION): I declare every wrong influence around your life broken today, in Jesus Name. Amen!
