Disassociate from Deceivers

Day 55

Reading: Deut. 12:1- Deut. 15:23

God has a great plan for you and I. His desire is that we reign in life. To reign together with God is only possible when we walk wholeheartedly with Him. Destroy altars of the land that are built to others gods. Set up the altar of God in the land. Every altar of an idol pollutes the land. Don't worship using the altars of idols as they are not dedicated to God. Worship God at the place where His altar id erected. Corporate worship was to be done at the place dedicated to God.

God required of the children of Israel to never forsake the Levite. The Levites were not given an inheritance and the Lord expected that they would be looked after by the community. Don't forsake those who serve God. 

Even in the days of the Covenant of Moses, the people were told of false prophets who would seek to lead the people astray. The false prophet or preacher would be put to death for falsehood. This brought reverence to the office of the prophet and those who proclaimed the name of God. This is something we lack today because too many false prophets have hurt the children of God. The Law was not merciful to anyone who would try to deceive you from following Jehovah. Even close family members were not to be pitied if they secretly tried to entice you from serving God. If a city partook of acts that were an abomination to God the city would be burned to the ground and never rebuilt. 

God is interested in the diet we eat. The instruction on the clean and unclean foods shows that we need to be careful of what we partake. Do you know that originally mankind was not to eat meat? God didn't instruct Adam and Eve to eat meat- Genesis 1:29. Its only after the flood that God introduced meat to the conversation of what we can eat- Genensis 9:3-4. I am not advocating for a vegan diet. That's a personal choice. I have over the last year come to understand that diet needs to be looked at from God's point of view. Let God speak to you about your diet and you will see health benefits.

The tithe belongs to God. Tithing is not giving to God. You don't give back what belongs to the owner, you return it. The Tithe belongs to God. Giving begins after on one has brought the tithe.  Every 7 years debts would be cancelled. A foreigner didn't enjoy this benefit however the children of God would have debts cancelled. God desires that His children be lenders and not borrowers of money. God expects that His children be a generous people. The believer is expected to be generous not closing their hand to those who don't have anything. When giving in generosity the believer is not to be motivated by anything except the love of God. Generosity leads to abundance.

Memory verse: Deut. 15:7

Decree:

Lord, thank You for being ever faithful in all things. I decree that I am a tither and the blessings of a tither are manifesting in me. I decree that I am a generous giver. My hand is used to minister to those who lack. I decree that I worship only God. I disassociate myself from every person who desires to entice me away from serving Yahweh. I will live a yielded fruitful life to the glory of God. I decree that my body brings glory to God in Jesus name. Amen.
