FRIDAY 12TH JULY 2024

Today's TOPIC: THE PRIVILEGE OF LIFE.

SCRIPTURE: Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; ACTS 17 verse 26. Amen!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The best way to handle the privilege of life is to use it to fulfil the purpose for which God gave it to you.

It has been established that life is a privilege. It is a privilege because no one woke up in the morning because of the force of their decision to wake up. There were people who slept and could not wake up the following morning. Before they slept, there was no trace of sickness in their body. They slept in health, but woke up in death.

So, life is a privilege. No one is alive because they are too powerful, too wise or too talented to die. No one can be so connected to people that their connections kept them alive.

This means, for every single second we live, we must see life as a privilege, and not a right.

I heard the story of one American president, Theodore Roosevelt. This man was very tough, aggressive, and audacious. He was a man given to adventure; a man who could fight anything.

One day, he slept and died in his sleep. And someone wrote about him and said, “Only in sleep could he have died because if he was awake, he would have fought with death.”
You see, this man was very powerful, but not too powerful to bow for death.

Beloved, life is a privilege; do not abuse the privilege of life. God gave your life to you on trust, and he expects you to maximize it. The best way to handle the privilege of life is to use it to fulfil the purpose for which God gave it to you.

Beloved, don’t live as though your life is a product of your personal merit. See your life as a privilege, and never abuse the privilege of life.

Remember this: The best way to handle the privilege of life is to use it to fulfil the purpose for which God gave it to you.

Take this ASSIGNMENT with you:
#1. Thank God for the privilege of life.
#2. Do not abuse the privilege of life; determine to fulfil God’s Purpose for your life. Yes sir!

Today's PRAYER: Thank You Lord for the privilege of life. I ask that You help me to fulfil the purpose for which You gave me life, Lord, in Jesus Name. Amen!

QUOTE: It is not our right to have what we have; it is a privilege. Culled from the book, “21 Foolish Things People Do’ by Dr Paul Enenche.

Today's DAILY READING: from Ecclesiastes chapter 12 to the book of Song of Songs chapter 2.
We read Ecclesiastes 12, Remember your Creator In the days of your youth,before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say,“I find no pleasure in them”— before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark,and the clouds return after the rain; when the keepers of the house tremble,and the strong men stoop,when the grinders cease because they are few,and those looking through the windows grow dim; when the doors to the street are closed and the sound of grinding fades;when people rise up at the sound of birds,but all their songs grow faint; when people are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets;when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags itself along and desire no longer is stirred.Then people go to their eternal home and mourners go about the streets. Remember him, before the silver cord is severed,and the golden bowl is broken;before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,and the wheel broken at the well, and the dust returns to the ground it came from,and the spirit returns to God who gave it. “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher.“Everything is meaningless!” Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs. The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true. The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given by one shepherd. Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them.Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body. Now all has been heard;here is the conclusion of the matter:Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgment,including every hidden thing,whether it is good or evil. Hallelujah!

song of songs, chapter 1, The song of songs, which is Solomon’s. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, For your love is better than wine. Because of the fragrance of your good ointments,Your name is ointment poured forth;Therefore the virgins love you. Draw me away!The Daughters of Jerusalem We will run after you.The Shulamite The king has brought me into his chambers.The Daughters of Jerusalem We will be glad and rejoice in you.We will remember your love more than wine.The Shulamite Rightly do they love you. I am dark, but lovely,O daughters of Jerusalem,Like the tents of Kedar,Like the curtains of Solomon. Do not look upon me, because I am dark,Because the sun has tanned me.My mother’s sons were angry with me;They made me the keeper of the vineyards,But my own vineyard I have not kept. Tell me, O you whom I love,Where you feed your flock,Where you make it rest at noon.For why should I be as one who veils herself By the flocks of your companions? If you do not know, O fairest among women,Follow in the footsteps of the flock,And feed your little goats Beside the shepherds’ tents. I have compared you, my love,To my filly among Pharaoh’s chariots. Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments,Your neck with chains of gold. We will make you ornaments of gold With studs of silver. While the king is at his table,My spikenard sends forth its fragrance. A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me,That lies all night between my breasts. My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms In the vineyards of En Gedi. Behold, you are fair, my love!Behold, you are fair!You have dove’s eyes. Behold, you are handsome, my beloved!Yes, pleasant!Also our bed is green. The beams of our houses are cedar,And our rafters of fir. Hallelujah!
Song of songs, chapter 2, I am the rose of Sharon,And the lily of the valleys. Like a lily among thorns,So is my love among the daughters. Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods,So is my beloved among the sons.I sat down in his shade with great delight,And his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house,And his banner over me was love. Sustain me with cakes of raisins,Refresh me with apples,For I am lovesick. His left hand is under my head,And his right hand embraces me. I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,By the gazelles or by the does of the field,Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases. The voice of my beloved!Behold, he comes Leaping upon the mountains,Skipping upon the hills. My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.Behold, he stands behind our wall;He is looking through the windows,Gazing through the lattice. My beloved spoke, and said to me:“Rise up, my love, my fair one,And come away. For lo, the winter is past,The rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth;The time of singing has come,And the voice of the Turtledoves heard in our land. The fig tree puts forth her green figs,And the vines with the tender grapes Give a good smell.Rise up, my love, my fair one,And come away! “O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,In the secret places of the cliff,Let me see your face,Let me hear your voice;For your voice is sweet,And your face is lovely.” Catch us the foxes,The little foxes that spoil the vines,For our vines have tender grapes. My beloved is mine, and I am his.He feeds his flock among the lilies. Until the day breaks And the shadows flee away,Turn, my beloved,And be like a gazelleOr a young stagUpon the mountains of Bether. Hallelujah!

AMAZING FACT: The sun’s gravity is so fierce that it holds the entire solar system together, and everything revolves around it — the planets, comets, asteroids and pieces of space debris.

Today's PROPHETIC WORD and DECLARATION): Receive grace to always appropriate the privilege of life, in Jesus Name. Amen!
See you here again tomorrow and remain blessed. Hallelujah.
