HAMMER WORD BIBLE CHURCH, ABAKMorning Devotion ⛪🌈♨️🔑🍎💚☀️”He was numbered with the transgressors”. — Isaiah 53:12Why did Jesus suffer himself to be enrolled amongst sinners? This wonderful condescension was justified by many powerful reasons. In such a character he could the better become their advocate. In some trials there is an identification of the counsellor with the client, nor can they be looked upon in the eye of the law as apart from one another. Now, when the sinner is brought to the bar, Jesus appears there himself. He stands to answer the accusation. He points to his side, his hands, his feet, and challenges Justice to bring anything against the sinners whom he represents; he pleads his blood, and pleads so triumphantly, being numbered with them and having a part with them, that the Judge proclaims, “Let them go their way; deliver them from going down into the pit, for he hath found a ransom.” Our Lord Jesus was numbered with the transgressors in order that they might feel their hearts drawn towards him. Who can be afraid of one who is written in the same list with us? Surely we may come boldly to him, and confess our guilt. He who is numbered with us cannot condemn us. Was he not put down in the transgressor’s list that we might be written in the red roll of the saints? He was holy, and written among the holy; we were guilty, and numbered among the guilty; he transfers his name from yonder list to this black indictment, and our names are taken from the indictment and written in the roll of acceptance, for there is a complete transfer made between Jesus and his people. All our estate of misery and sin Jesus has taken; and all that Jesus has comes to us. His righteousness, his blood, and everything that he hath he gives us as our dowry. Rejoice, believer, in your union to him who was numbered among the transgressors; and prove that you are truly saved by being manifestly numbered with those who are new creatures in him.Prayer ♨️Heavenly Father, you sent your son to take my place and pay the price for me on the Cross of Calvary.Father, I decree and declare that the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus is my life, my path and my portion forever.I will live, walk and reign in Christ righteousness forever in Jesus mighty name Amen.Evening Devotion ⛪🌈♨️🔑🍎💚☀️”Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.” — Lamentations 3:40The spouse who fondly loves her absent husband longs for his return; a long protracted separation from her lord is a semi-death to her spirit: and so with souls who love the Saviour much, they must see his face, they cannot bear that he should be away upon the mountains of Bether, and no more hold communion with them. A reproaching glance, an uplifted finger will be grievous to loving children, who fear to offend their tender father, and are only happy in his smile. Beloved, it was so once with you. A text of Scripture, a threatening, a touch of the rod of affliction, and you went to your Father’s feet, crying, “Show me wherefore thou contendest with me?” Is it so now? Are you content to follow Jesus afar off? Can you contemplate suspended communion with Christ without alarm? Can you bear to have your Beloved walking contrary to you, because you walk contrary to him? Have your sins separated between you and your God, and is your heart at rest? O let me affectionately warn you, for it is a grievous thing when we can live contentedly without the present enjoyment of the Saviour’s face. Let us labour to feel what an evil thing this is—little love to our own dying Saviour, little joy in our precious Jesus, little fellowship with the Beloved! Hold a true Lent in your souls, while you sorrow over your hardness of heart. Do not stop at sorrow! Remember where you first received salvation. Go at once to the cross. There, and there only, can you get your spirit quickened. No matter how hard, how insensible, how dead we may have become, let us go again in all the rags and poverty, and defilement of our natural condition. Let us clasp that cross, let us look into those languid eyes, let us bathe in that fountain filled with blood—this will bring back to us our first love; this will restore the simplicity of our faith, and the tenderness of our heart.Prayer ♨️Heavenly Father, restore me to the path of righteousness and holiness, help me to live according to your word in Jesus mighty name Amen.⛪🌈♨️🔑🍎💚☀️ HammerWord Cares

HAMMER WORD BIBLE CHURCH, ABAK ⛪🌈♨️Morrning Devotion ⛪🌈♨️🔑🍎💚☀️”Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered”. — Hebrews 5:8We are told that the Captain of our salvation was made perfect through suffering, therefore we who are sinful, and who are far from being perfect, must not wonder if we are called to pass through suffering too. Shall the head be crowned with thorns, and shall the other members of the body be rocked upon the dainty lap of ease? Must Christ pass through seas of his own blood to win the crown, and are we to walk to heaven dryshod in silver slippers? No, our Master’s experience teaches us that suffering is necessary, and the true-born child of God must not, would not, escape it if he might. But there is one very comforting thought in the fact of Christ’s “being made perfect through suffering”—it is, that he can have complete sympathy with us. “He is not an high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities.” In this sympathy of Christ we find a sustaining power. One of the early martyrs said, “I can bear it all, for Jesus suffered, and he suffers in me now; he sympathizes with me, and this makes me strong.” Believer, lay hold of this thought in all times of agony. Let the thought of Jesus strengthen you as you follow in his steps. Find a sweet support in his sympathy; and remember that, to suffer is an honourable thing—to suffer for Christ is glory. The apostles rejoiced that they were counted worthy to do this. Just so far as the Lord shall give us grace to suffer for Christ, to suffer with Christ, just so far does he honour us. The jewels of a Christian are his afflictions. The regalia of the kings whom God hath anointed are their troubles, their sorrows, and their griefs. Let us not, therefore, shun being honoured. Let us not turn aside from being exalted. Griefs exalt us, and troubles lift us up. “If we suffer, we shall also reign with him.” in Jesus mighty name Amen.Evening Devotion ⛪🌈♨️🔑🍎💚☀️”I called him, but he gave me no answer”. — Song of Solomon 5:6Prayer sometimes tarrieth, like a petitioner at the gate, until the King cometh forth to fill her bosom with the blessings which she seeketh. The Lord, when he hath given great faith, has been known to try it by long delayings. He has suffered his servants’ voices to echo in their ears as from a brazen sky. They have knocked at the golden gate, but it has remained immovable, as though it were rusted upon its hinges. Like Jeremiah, they have cried, “Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.” Thus have true saints continued long in patient waiting without reply, not because their prayers were not vehement, nor because they were unaccepted, but because it so pleased him who is a Sovereign, and who gives according to his own pleasure. If it pleases him to bid our patience exercise itself, shall he not do as he wills with his own! Beggars must not be choosers either as to time, place, or form. But we must be careful not to take delays in prayer for denials: God’s long-dated bills will be punctually honoured; we must not suffer Satan to shake our confidence in the God of truth by pointing to our unanswered prayers. Unanswered petitions are not unheard. God keeps a file for our prayers—they are not blown away by the wind, they are treasured in the King’s archives. This is a registry in the court of heaven wherein every prayer is recorded. Tried believer, thy Lord hath a tear-bottle in which the costly drops of sacred grief are put away, and a book in which thy holy groanings are numbered. By and by, thy suit shall prevail. Canst thou not be content to wait a little? Will not thy Lord’s time be better than thy time? By and by he will comfortably appear, to thy soul’s joy, and make thee put away the sackcloth and ashes of long waiting, and put on the scarlet and fine linen of full fruition.May the good Lord help and bless you in Jesus mighty name Amen.⛪♨️🌈🔑🍎💚☀️HammerWord Cares 🌈

Unity of the Godhead. EVENING MEDITATION ON TODAY’S MANNA OF MARCH 27TH, 2022READ: GENESIS 11:1-32Scriptural unity1. Unity of the godheadThe unity of the Godhead of the triune God is a perfect example of the unity expected among people of God.a. There was comstant communication between the Trio, v6.b. The observation of the Trio was based on the truth without sentiment and there was no disagrement on facts because truth is truth. None argue against the truth for whatever motive, v6.c. There was agreement on the future implications of the people’s wrong actions, v6. They saw things the same way.d. There was agreement on their plan of actions with no dissenting voice, v7. They had the same mind.e. There was agreement on the implementation of their plan of action, v7. They all surrendered to the path of wisdom not minding who brought the idea.f. There was perfect achievement of goals and plans, v8. Unity will always bring irresitible results in line with the project, either good or bad.g. Obviously, no individualistic, private personal agenda. They were all committed to the truth and right.h. All the three were involved in every aspect of the decisions without any claiming seniority or superiority.Questionsa. Apart from often communication every step of the way, what other factors made their unity very possible?b. What are the lessons on the unity of the Godhead shown above that you need to imbibe?Purity of heart, commitment to the truth and the right, self effacement, lack of superiority complex are some of the essentials of unity.2. Unity of the godlessa. The unity of the godless is opposed to the will and word of God. For example, God commanded man to multiply and cover the whole earth in the garden of Eden while they were putting in place what will make them never to scatter, v4.b. They had a welfarism kind of approach which appeared good but the motive is godless, v4. They wanted to make a name for themselves.c. Their reasoning was perverted, void of the wisdom of God because it came from unregenerated hearts. What is the purpose of making a name for themselves when in actuality they will be the only people on earth dwelling in the same location?d. The corollary is that unity in something that is generally acceptable by generality of people with commonly acceptable reasoning is not necessarily godly and acceptable to God. Unity on right actions underlined with wrong motives is equally godless.QuestionDo you always subject your unity with people on different areas to the will and word of God?3. Unity of the godlya. Jesus prayed for unity of believers. If it is not important to Him He would not have done so, John 17:20,21.b. Keeping the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace will not come cheaply. It must be diligently and prayerfully pursued with commitment to it, Ephesians 4:3.c. Lowliness, meekness, long-suffering and forbearance are non- negotiable virtues that promote unity and we must pray for abundance of this grace in our lives, Ephesians 4:2.Questionsa. Are you like Christ who prays for the unity of believers and is committed to promoting it?b. Which of the virtues above do you need more in your life?Prayer pointsLord, I present my heart to you and ask that you cleanse me from all pride and self that are against unity of the saints🙏Lord, I ask for a deeper work of meekness, long-suffering, forbearance and the mind of Christ in my heart🙏Lord, I want to be an agent of godly unity henceforth.

HAMMER WORD BIBLE CHURCH, ABAK ⛪ Morning Devotion ⛪🌈♨️🔑🍎💚☀️ “Then all the disciples forsook him and fled” — Matthew 26:56 He never deserted them, but they in cowardly fear of their lives, fled from him in the very beginning of his sufferings. This is but one instructive instance of the frailty of all believers if left to themselves; they are but sheep at the best, and they flee when the wolf cometh. They had all been warned of the danger, and had promised to die rather than leave their Master; and yet they were seized with sudden panic, and took to their heels. It may be, that I, at the opening of this day, have braced up my mind to bear a trial for the Lord’s sake, and I imagine myself to be certain to exhibit perfect fidelity; but let me be very jealous of myself, lest having the same evil heart of unbelief, I should depart from my Lord as the apostles did. It is one thing to promise, and quite another to perform. It would have been to their eternal honour to have stood at Jesus’ side right manfully; they fled from honour; may I be kept from imitating them! Where else could they have been so safe as near their Master, who could presently call for twelve legions of angels? They fled from their true safety. O God, let me not play the fool also. Divine grace can make the coward brave. The smoking flax can flame forth like fire on the altar when the Lord wills it. These very apostles who were timid as hares, grew to be bold as lions after the Spirit had descended upon them, and even so the Holy Spirit can make my recreant spirit brave to confess my Lord and witness for his truth. What anguish must have filled the Saviour as he saw his friends so faithless! This was one bitter ingredient in his cup; but that cup is drained dry; let me not put another drop in it. If I forsake my Lord, I shall crucify him afresh, and put him to an open shame. Keep me, O blessed Spirit, from an end so shameful, in Jesus mighty name Amen. Evening Devotion ⛪🌈♨️🔑🍎💚☀️ “And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” — Matthew 15:27 This woman gained comfort in her misery by thinking great thoughts of Christ. The Master had talked about the children’s bread: “Now,” argued she, “since thou art the Master of the table of grace, I know that thou art a generous housekeeper, and there is sure to be abundance of bread on thy table; there will be such an abundance for the children that there will be crumbs to throw on the floor for the dogs, and the children will fare none the worse because the dogs are fed.” She thought him one who kept so good a table that all that she needed would only be a crumb in comparison; yet remember, what she wanted was to have the devil cast out of her daughter. It was a very great thing to her, but she had such a high esteem of Christ, that she said, “It is nothing to him, it is but a crumb for Christ to give.” This is the royal road to comfort. Great thoughts of your sin alone will drive you to despair; but great thoughts of Christ will pilot you into the haven of peace. “My sins are many, but oh! it is nothing to Jesus to take them all away. The weight of my guilt presses me down as a giant’s foot would crush a worm, but it is no more than a grain of dust to him, because he has already borne its curse in his own body on the tree. It will be but a small thing for him to give me full remission, although it will be an infinite blessing for me to receive it.” The woman opens her soul’s mouth very wide, expecting great things of Jesus, and he fills it with his love. Dear reader, do the same. She confessed what Christ laid at her door, but she laid fast hold upon him, and drew arguments even out of his hard words; she believed great things of him, and she thus overcame him. She won the victory by believing in Him. Her case is an instance of prevailing faith; and if we would conquer like her, we must imitate her tactics. ⛪🌈♨️🔑🍎💚☀️HammerWord Cares
