Acts 27:27-44, God Hath Given Thee (2)

Acts 27:27-44 (KJV)
27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

1 Corinthians 15:39, All Flesh Is Not the Same Flesh

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 8 October, 2017 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of 1 Corinthians, 8 October 2017

The Apostle Paul impresses the truth upon our hearts that the resurrection body is starkly different from our present mortal body by the illustration that the animals are different from the fishes and the birds in God’s created world. Although they are all fleshly beings but are different from one another. They provide for us the wonders of God’s creation that bring glory to Him.

Forerunners of the Reformation

John Wycliffe
In the 14th Century a young man was enrolled at the University of Oxford, of whom his teachers had great expectations. John Wycliffe, for such was his name, had a brilliant mind, undaunted courage, and a silver tongue. He also developed great skill with the pen. The date of his birth and the precise spot where it took place are not known, but in all probability it was during the period 1320-24, and in or near the village of Old Richmond in Yorkshire. He would doubtless be about 16 years old when he went to Oxford.. He remained in association with the University for the rest of his life, becoming a Fellow, and then in 1361 the Master of Balliol College. He became a Doctor of Theology there also.
The greatest of all the works of accomplished by Wycliffe was to translate the Bible into English, so that all who were able to read, or listen to the Word when read, could learn the truth of God.

Of the Book that had been the sealed-up Book

He tore the clasps, that the nation

With eyes unbandaged might look thereon

And therein find salvation.

1 Corinthians 15:38, To Every Seed His Own Body

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 7 October, 2017 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of 1 Corinthians, 7 October 2017

We cannot tell by looking at a seed the first time what the plant will look like and the fruit that the plant will bear. It is God, who by His wisdom, gave the plants and the herb yielding seeds, to be what it is. It is God, our blessed Creator, who does so, as the Apostle Paul writes, as it hath pleased him.

1 Corinthians 15:37, Thou Sowest

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 6 October, 2017 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of 1 Corinthians, 6 October 2017

A plant begins its existence in the form of a little seed that is sown on the ground. And from it, a plant shoots up as the seed germinates. When there is no seed, there will be no plant. A natural state in God’s created world. The plant derives its features from the seed.

1 Corinthians 15:36, Except It Die

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 5 October, 2017 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of 1 Corinthians, 5 October 2017

William MacDonald observed, “It is wonderful indeed to think of the mystery of life that is hidden in every tiny seed. We may dissect the seed and study it under the microscope, but the secret of the life principle remains an unfathomable mystery. All we know is that the seed falls into the ground and from that unlikely beginning there springs forth life from the dead.”

1 Corinthians 15:35, How Are the Dead Raised Up?

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 4 October, 2017 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of 1 Corinthians, 4 October 2017

It is needful that the believer understands the power of God unleashed in raising the dead up. He will seek to enlighten the believers concerning the resurrection of the dead at the rapture. This is a great mystery that he will unravel to show how the dead in Christ is but asleep and will be awakened when God will reconstruct for the dead in Christ a glorified body. Mind boggling truth!

Psalm 103 (KJV)

1 A Psalm of David Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. 7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. 8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. 10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

1 Corinthians 15:34, Awake to Righteousness

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 3 October, 2017 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of 1 Corinthians, 3 October 2017

The Apostle John said in 1 John 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. All that is truly born of God will be awakened to the filth of sin and seek earnestly to live holily.

1 Corinthians 15:33, Evil Communications Corrupt Good Manners

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 2 October, 2017 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of 1 Corinthians, 2 October 2017

William MacDonald observed well, “The Corinthians should not be deceived on this score. Evil company corrupts good habits. Paul is referring to the false teachers who had come into the church at Corinth, denying the resurrection.”
