IDOLS OF THE HEART

*HIGHER EVERYDAY, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2018*

*TOPIC*: EXCESS LUGGAGE

*TEXT*: "Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not" (Genesis 31:34).

Rachel was a beautiful and admirable young woman; the daughter of a wealthy farmer and the beloved wife of a patriarch. We admire her beauty, her dutifulness in waiting for fourteen years before she could be married to the love of her life. But for all her loveliness, Rachel was idolatrous at heart. On the night when her journey to the land of Canaan began, she stole her father's Idols and sat on them.
Have you started journey to the promised land? The last thing you need is an Idol in your stuff. It will slow your progress, cause distractions and even attract God’s wrath. In her book, finding Truth, Nancy Pearcey stated that "An Idol is anything we want more than God, anything we rely on more than God, anything we look to for greater fulfillment than God". There are many idols that hinder the advancement of youths. Materialism, entertainment and social media, are modern idols hampering youths today. For progress in life, drop your idols.

*CHALLENGE*: Idol in the heart is an excess luggage.
*PRAYER*: Lord, I give up my idols, cleanse me!
*QUOTE*: For progress in life, drop your idols
*FURTHER READING*: Exodus 20:1-6

From Mrs Joyce Meyer USA TV Evangelist A GOOD WOMAN, MAKES A GOOD WIFE AND A GOOD WIFE BECOMES A GOOD MOTHER; A GOOD MOTHER GIVES BIRTH TO A GOOD CHILD. IF YOU WANT TO BE ONE EMULATE THESE STEPS BELLOW: 1). Never raise your voice for any reason to your husband. Its a sign of disrespect. 2). Don't expose your husband's weaknesses to your family and friends. It will bounce back at you. You are each other's keeper. 3). Never use attitudes and moods to communicate to your husband, you never know how your husband will interpret them. Defensive women don't have a happy home. 4). Never compare your husband to other men, you've no idea what their life is all about. If you attack his Ego, his Love for you will diminish. 5). Never ill treat your husband's friends because you don't like them, the person who's supposed to get rid of them is your husband. 6). Never forget that your husband married you, not your maid or anyone else. Do...

JESUS WAS NOT BORN ON DEC 25TH

JESUS WAS NOT BORN ON DEC 25TH Was Jesus born on December 25 – Christmas Day? History shows that December 25 was popularized as the date for Christmas, not because Christ was born on that day, but because it was already popular in pagan religious celebrations as the birthday of the sun. But could December 25 be the date of Christ’s birth? When was Jesus Christ born? Was Jesus born on December 25 – Christmas Day? A careful analysis of Scripture, however, clearly indicates that December 25 couldn’t be the date for Christ’s birth. Here are two primaryreasons: First, we know that shepherds were in the fields watching their flocks at the time of Jesus’ birth (Luke 2:7-8). Shepherds were not in the fields during December. According toCelebrations: The Complete Book of American Holidays, Luke’s account “suggests that Jesus may have been born in summer or early fall. Since December is cold and rainy in Judea, it is likely the shepherds would have sought shelter for their flocks ...
