Engage No Evil Errand

FAITH CAPSULE: Have you been sent to deliver an assignment which does not glorify God?

Exodus 1

The book of Ecclesiastes concludes by pointing out the importance of fearing God when it states, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandment, for this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.” (Ecclesiastes 12: 13-14) With the fear of God in place, fearing what man can do against us should not have a place in our life. It does not matter what position you hold or who you are answering to by delivering evil message. It does matter that at all times, man must avoid delivering messages that are evil before God. 
Have you been sent to deliver an assignment which does not glorify God? It does not matter who sent you, or what your reward will be. What matters is to fear God and not just fly in the direction of an evil errand. When one engages flying under the direction of an evil minded service, one is set to crash land and such will fail woefully. However, when you agree to the fear of God before delivering an evil message, God will not ignore your move, but will acknowledge you beyond and above whatever reward that is set for you. It does not matter where you are today or what position you are holding. Let it be established in your heart that today you have abstained from delivering any message that is meant to hurt others, or that does not glorify God.
Pharaoh entered into shrewdness because of the increase in number of the children of Israel. He ordered the midwives to kill all male children at birth. The fear of God arrested the midwives. It is written, “Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah; and he said, “When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstools, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.” But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive.” (Exodus 1:15-17) Pharaoh that sent for the killing and the one that engage in the killing will have to answer to God at the time of judgment. The midwives demonstrated the fear of God by not answering to Pharaoh’s evil command as a result, “…God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and grew very mighty. And so it was, because the midwives feared God that He provided households for them.” (Exodus 1:20-21) Let all your actions be based on the fear of God, and He will establish you in all areas of life.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to fear God in all areas of living life.
