ERCC DEVOTIONAL (TEKAN) DAILY SPIRITUAL DIET WEDNESDAY 26TH JULY, 2023
TEXT: REVELATION 14: 1-13
SPIRITUAL FOCUS: THE SONG OF THE SAINTS AND ANGELIC ANNOUNCEMENT.
Our study shows us that all who live a godly life will be highly privileged on the day of His return. One thousand four hundred and forty-four people are genuine and have not been found guilty of sin. That is to say, they have lived in holiness on earth so the Lord is pleased with their affairs.
Brethren, it is good for us to be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love. If not, then examine yourself. Do not accept the teachings of some who claim that those who will enter the kingdom of heaven are the only ones mentioned in our study today. This is not true. These are false teachers teaching what they don't even know.
If we pay attention to what God's Word tells us in verses 2 through to 5, the world is about to be harvested as ripe grains. Sadly unfortunately, because of the uncleanness of men, the lack of fear of God and other evil deeds, the world will inevitably be harvested into eternal damnation. Therefore, all followers of Christ should consider this, stop the bad things going on in life, to avoid the judgment that is coming soon.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Live a life pleasing to the Lord.
PRAYER: Lord God, please help me to live a life that will be trusted in the name of Christ I pray, Amen.
Chapter 14: 1-13 (Pidgin Bible).
1 Den I si di Lamb stand on-top Mount Zion with 144,000 pipol. Dem rite en name with en Papa name for dia fore head.
2 And I hear one loud vois from heaven like wave for sea or tonda for sky. I hear anoda sound like harp wey dem dey play.
3 Dem kon dey sing new song for di throne, di for creatures and di eldas front. Nobody fit learn di song, escept di 144,000 pipol wey God save from dis eart.
4 Dis ones nor spoil demsef with wimen, bikos dem bi virgin. Na dem dey follow di Lamb wen e dey go anywhere. God save dem as human being, so dat dem go bi di first fruit wey en and di Lamb plok.

6 Den I si anoda angel dey fly for sky and e karry di Good News wey go dey forever dey kom prish give di pipol for dis eart, kountries, tribes, language and groups.
