God Is Still Saying The Same Thing

And God spake all these words, saying,

I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:

Exodus 20:1-5

The words God spoke to Moses in his day are the same words God is speaking to us today. While the people in the days of Moses were held in bondage physically, today people are held in bondage due to sin. But JESUS came to deliver us out of bondage.

We need to realize that God is not a God that will share His deity with any other gods. We have choices to make daily and many times we choose other things over God. It is so easy to forget the time of bondage and our desires take control of our actions.

In Egypt, the bondage was harsh. The sin bondage is very harsh also. In fact, many people are never delivered from it and perish in bondage. Unlike the deliverance from Egypt, God gives us a choice. We can accept the deliverance offered by Jesus, or continue to be held in bondage by sin. Some of the people who were physically delivered from Egypt complained and wished they were still in Egypt. Many who are delivered from sin by the blood of Jesus cannot stay away from the gods of pleasure that sin offers.

It comes down to this. We are either a member of the family of God or we are not. We cannot have a part-time God, in Jesus.

He is our Lord and Savior or He is not. We need to examine our loyalty to God. Do we trust Him completely and follow only Him?

Or are we guilty of dividing our loyalty?

Revival means turning around and heading the way we need to go. The message is the same, who will you choose Jesus or worldly gods?

Praying for revival,

Bro. Gene
