DON'T DEFILE THE LAND
28TH , JUNE 2022
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Lamentations 1-3
TEXT: Leviticus 18:17-30
17 You shall not uncover the nakedness of a
woman and her daughter, nor shall you take her son’s daughter or her
daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near of kin
to her. It is wickedness.
18 Nor shall you take a woman as a rival
to her sister, to uncover her nakedness while the other is alive.
19 ‘Also you shall not approach a woman to
uncover her nakedness as long as she is in her customary impurity.
20 Moreover you shall not lie carnally with
your neighbor’s wife, to defile yourself with her.
21 And you shall not let any of your
descendants pass through the fire to Molech, nor shall you
profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.
22 You shall not lie with a male as with
a woman. It is an abomination.
23 Nor shall you mate with any animal,
to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate
with it. It is perversion.
24 ‘Do not defile yourselves with any of
these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting
out before you.
25 For the land is defiled; therefore
I visit[a] the punishment of its iniquity upon it,
and the land vomits out its inhabitants.
26 You shall therefore [b]keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall
not commit any of these abominations, either any of your
own nation or any stranger who dwells among you
27 (for all these abominations the men of the
land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is
defiled),
28 lest the land vomit you out also when
you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before
you.
29 For whoever commits any of these
abominations, the persons who commit them shall be [c]cut off from among their people.
30 ‘Therefore you shall keep My [d]ordinance, so that you do not
commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before
you, and that you do not defile yourselves by them: I am the Lord your
God.’ ”
KEY VERSE:
“For all these abominations have the men of the
land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled; That the land spue
not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were
before you.” - Leviticus 18:27, 28
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Receive Christ today to avoid eternal regret.
THE MESSAGE:
Two evil friends who specialised in robbing accident victims
enjoyed their "vocation" for some time. They usually rushed to
accident sites and while the victims struggled between life and death, they
dispossessed them of their valuables. But one night, though they lived miles
apart from each other, a strange thunder struck and killed them both. The land
"spewed" them out of it.
The occupants of the land of Canaan had defiled the land with
evil practices. Their iniquity which was not yet full as at the time of Abraham
(Genesis 15:16) has blossomed and multiplied, and the judgment must now come as
God would root them out and replace them with Israel.
Sin has "motion"; it has "life" which sets
things working against the sinner. The earth does not operate independently of
the righteous laws of God and the law of sowing and reaping must apply in all
spheres of a man's life. It is no news today that evils of all forms such as
bribery, rape, ritual killings, kidnapping, etc., have become rampant in all
parts of the world and carried out even in broad day light. But like the two
evil friends, those who delight in it, will eventually be marked for
destruction, except they repent.
The average sinner today does not know that the horrors of hell
must be avoided. Truth is, anyone who dies in sin will be greeted with,
"Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil
and his angels" (Matthew 25:41). The only way out is to receive Jesus
Christ as Lord and Saviour.
DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
