FAITH CAPSULE: Live life continuity in the word of God for the glory of God.
Genesis 39
Continuity can be described as, uninterrupted flow. Continuity demands unceasing discipline to maintain flow on a right path of living life for God’s glory. Through the pages of the Bible, those who continually focused on God excelled greatly to the glory of God. Continuity eschews inconvenience and answers with commitment meaning that those who continually seek God are committed with no excuse for inconvenience in every area of seeking after God. Continuity is what constantly connects us with God. Those who give themselves up to serving the Lord God continually remain constantly in His hand. The Psalmist testified, “But I will hope continually, and will praise You yet more and more.” (Psalm 71:14) “So shall I keep Your law continually, forever and ever.” (Psalm 119:44) Hosea 12:6 buttressed, “so you, by the help of your God, return; Observe mercy and justice, and wait on your God continually.” Act 6:4 laid it down for believers stating that, “we are to give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” Hebrews 13:15 admonished us, “Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God.”
With continuity, Joseph served God faithfully by staying away from sin that could have been hidden from man but not able to be hidden from God. Joseph was under the pressure of his master’s wife who casted longing eyes on Joseph and asking him to lie with her. Bible recorded Joseph’s response to his master’s wife, “But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand. There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?” (Genesis 39:8-9) Abstaining from sin that is hidden to man but not hidden from God was Joseph continuity to avoid sin and sinning before God. Joseph stated, “How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God.” Continuity should be a constant with consistent walking with God.
Continuity in serving God is certain to position man on the hand of God that has never fail to deliver. Seek God by serving Him continually.
In the journey of life, whenever contentment is missing in man’s life, covetousness sets in and feeds into complaints which become the act of rebellion. With rebellion, conscience is sealed off and compromising God’s word establishes itself. A believer that compromises is one that demonstrates lack of commitment. Lack of commitment is the evidence that there is no continuity in living life by the word of God. Live life continuity in the word of God for the glory of God.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to live in His given life to you for only His glory.
