Scripture Union Daily Guide 19th March 2022 Devotional | Outline
Many crave for the ‘Big Bang’ to herald their ministry – large billboards, many handbills and television adverts. Instead, Jesus started off in a remote area with totally unknown, ‘unschooled’ disciples. God’s kingdom started in a small way through the sowing of God’s word. It has extended to every area of the world. God’s kingdom remains unpopular today because of its demands. We are not saved through our effort. It is all by grace but having been saved, we are called to follow the narrow way of disciplined Christian life.
That way, our lives will, like the yeast, bring visible influence in our neighbourhood. Are you positively influencing the world around you and making every effort to proclaim the gospel in the towns and villages around you? Jesus not only knew His mission on earth, He also knew the time frame within which to operate. He therefore would not allow anybody or anything to distract Him. His fearlessness even in the face of death threats should encourage and strengthen us. Note the consequences of rejecting Him (v.35).
Practice/Word Application
So: Read Ezekiel 3:17‐19 and pray for the burden and opportunity to sow the seed of the Kingdom of God.
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
• Lord, may I always dwell in your house.
Prayer for the week
• Pray for growth in discipleship among children, youths and families. Believe God to raise Christians in Nigeria who will not only teach, but practice what they are teaching. Pray for continuous grace to live like Jesus daily.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with
2 Timothy 4:18; Numbers 27, 28, Acts 11
