I haven’t found any scripture on middlemen. But one thing I do know is confirmed in Proverbs 21:6. May we always check with God to avoid bringing judgement on us.

With the hidden cash syndrome all around us, what’s your take on the money? Is it ill-gotten wealth? Is getting a commission on a government project legit? Is the broker position valid morally? And in God’s eyes? Please share your thoughts Proverbs 10:2.

Knowing the complexity we were going to face as we try and live for Him, God already prepared the way for our victory in this war for our souls. We have the armour, Christ overcame the devil, his schemes and death. So ours is to surrender to God so that we may experience the victory. Let us also purpose to do what Ephesians 6:18 teaches. Even Paul needed this kind of help from others as we see in Ephesians 6:19-20. 1Pet3:12 assures us that God hears us when we pray. What would you like us to pray about?

To counter the complex situation mentioned yesterday we need to do a couple of things. These include standing – Ephesians 6:13-14a. We must stand for truth, purpose to lead righteous lives, share the gospel of peace, have faith in God’s ability to counter spiritual attacks, accept salvation, know God’s word and make praying in the Spirit part of daily life – Ephesians 6:13-18. My prayer partner and I share prayer requests & testimonies of God’s love throughout by text, but meet physically once a week to pray. When meeting is impossible, we call each other and pray on phone.

The complicated thing is the nature of the war going on for our souls. Ephesians 6:12 explains the nature of that war. It is fought in two dimensions. This makes me realise that I cannot therefore operate on this earth without God’s divine help. It also makes me aware of some of the causes of the many challenges people go through on this side of eternity. Hence my conviction that I need to surrender my life to God who is able to fight this complicated battle for me.

We need a lot of the things around us for daily life, e.g. work, school, etc. In fact, we are admonished to work in order to provide for our dependants according to 1 Tim 5:8. But are we aware of the point where they start taking over our lives? Our mandate according to Genesis 1:26-28 is to have dominion over the world on behalf of the Creator, not the world having dominion over us.

There is a battle being waged for control of our souls. The world in its various forms wants to control our souls and so does the Lord. Work, friends, hobbys, traditions, etc are all competing for our souls. Have we allowed any of these things to take our souls captive? The Lord assures us in Hebrews 13:5 & Matthew 28:20 that He will never leave us. The world can’t give that assurance.

I gave my life to Christ over 25 years ago because He is an awesome God. He is trustworthy and loving. I like reading His word because it teaches me so much about Him. As He gives me strength, I will strive to keep walking with Him. Even when Israel had given up on themselves, the Lord remained faithful to His promise concerning them Isaiah 40:1-8, especially vs 8.

The importance of knowing God’s promises is that He keeps His word and you therefore know what to expect. He is reliable and what He says comes to pass Joshua 21:43-45.

Has the Lord spoken a specific word concerning you lately? What did He say? What do you need to do to hear Him? May we have a desire to hear Him and may He speak concerning us. May it come to pass. I pray that we will not be like those people mentioned in Mark 4:10-12 who don’t perceive what the Lord is saying. Let’s also pray for one another so that we may perceive what the Lord is saying concerning us.
