Isaiah 13 - 17 (16th July) - Benjamin

Today, we see the prophecies that Isaiah has made against the nations.

Punishment is upon the world for its evil and the wicked for their sins. Every little thing that is not right in the Lord’s eyes is set right in Babylon. It is almost to the extent that nothing is left and every inch on the earth can feel His anger.

We ‘witness’ the various ways that the nations have been put to an end. Over the next few days, we will read how the Lord punishes the nations that have strayed from His word.

I recall one of the sermons some time back when Pastor preached about the importance of our individual life and the significance of each individual in the church. If any of us sin, it will cause the entire church to be affected. Judgment will be upon the church, not just the individual.

Thus we must not do anything against His ways, for our own good and for the good of our family in Christ. Every morning, begin your day with a word of prayer to ask that the Holy Spirit will guard you against any sins. Do a self check at the end of everyday and ask for forgiveness if you have sinned against Him. Find a brother/sister to be accountable to so that when you are going to fall into temptation, you can turn to him/her immediately. That way, the church will not face punishments like the nations.
