THEME: NEVER PROVOKE GOD
MEMORISE: It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:3
READ: 2 Chronicles 36:15 -
15 And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling plac
16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remed
MESSA
The greatest mistake anyone can ever make in life is to provoke the Almighty God. I John 4:8 tells us that God is love. He is not just a loving God, He is love personified, but Hebrews 12:29 also says He is a consuming fire. Every coin has two sides. On one side of God, you have love - love so great that He gave His only begotten son for our sake. On the other side, however, He is a consuming fire. Thus when you hear of people who talk about God as love only, about grace 100% of the time and nothing more, stay away from them. God is kind, merciful, and loving, but don't mess with Him because He is a consuming fire. If He loves you specially and you fool around with Him, He will deal with you. The word of God made it clear in Hebrews 12:
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receivet
You would think the Bible would say that whosoever the Father loves, He kisses, but that is not what it says. If you know that what you are doing is wrong and have been corrected severally yet you refuse to yield, then you are very likely provoking Him to anger already. You had better stop doing that thing you know He does not like. Proverbs 29:1 say
He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remed
Nobody can tell me that because God loves you, you can go ahead and do whatever you like. If you can do whatever you like, it is likely that He has forsaken you, because the Bible made it clear in Hebrews 12:
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not son
For those who say, "Pastor Adeboye is legalistic, he is always talking law", l didn't write the Bible. It is stated there clearly in both Old and New Testaments that if you are doing wrong and God is not punishing you for it, then you are a bastard, and bastards will not be admitted into the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 7:21-23

HYMN 19: O WORSHIP THE KING ALL GLORIOUS ABO
1 O worship the King all-glorious abov
O gratefully sing his power and his love
our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days
pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise
2 O tell of his might and sing of his grac
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form
and dark is his path on the wings of the storm
3 Your bountiful care, what tongue can recit
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain
4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frai
in you do we trust, nor find you to fail
Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend
5 O measureless Might, unchangeable Lov
whom angels delight to worship above
Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze
in true adoration shall sing to your praise
