My Emphasis
When the Father called Abraham, Lot went with him because of the Father. He wasn’t part of the Covenant, but he was blessed for the sake of Abraham. Even when they were about to be separated, he chose by sight. He chose the greener part of the land because he was spiritually blind. This landed him in the land of Sodom. Even when taken among the captives, Abraham went with all the men in his household to rescue him. An old man jeopardised his own life to rescue Lot. But from time memorial, the land of Sodom wasn’t a land where a righteous man should live. The lawlessness of the people of Sodom took over the lives of Lot’s family. His wife was number one. The Father wouldn’t have regretted it if He had wiped away Lot and his entire household with all the inhabitants of Sodom. For the sake of the Covenant He made with Abraham, He favoured him and stretched His hand of rescue to him and his household, which he received wholeheartedly. Just as he was blindfolded with material things when he was about to depart from Abraham, his wife was also blindfolded with the goodies of Sodom. This led to her destruction, and her name will never erase in history.
That which belongs to a man is nothing compared to his life. When there is life, there is hope. Unfortunately, many Christians cherish the work of their hands more than their own life. Riches and wealth will pass away, but the life of God in a man will live forever. Nobody deserves anything from the Father, yet, we blame Him for every little thing that happens to us. Like Lot’s wife who was saved by grace, saved because of Lot her husband, but the things of this Earth took her life away. She became a pillar of salt.
Many of us were saved by grace. We willingly came to the Master and accepted Him just as He accepted us. When we had enough of His love, our hearts began to dance to and fro because of the things we love. Now we try to combine the things of this world with the things of the Father. This is why the church has turned into a synagogue of Satan. The Bible says in the Book of John 4:24 that, “God is a Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” If we’re truthful to the Father, we’re truthful to ourselves. If we’re not truthful to Him, we’re not truthful to ourselves as well. We cannot keep treading on two roads at the same time. We must choose one out of the two. If we choose the path of the Father, there’s a reward for us in the end. Don’t let us behave like Lot’s wife who substituted the grace given to her for the things of this world and lost her life in the end. We were saved by grace, and if we value this grace, the Father will glorify Himself in our lives. I pray for you this day that Jesus Christ will hold you by His hand and lead you to the end of your journey in Jesus' name. Amen! May the Lord give you the grace to walk with Him in Jesus' name.
