Remember Lot’s Wife I

Tuesday 20 September
READ: Gen. 19: 12 - 26
MORE LESSON: 2 Pet.2:20-21

Lot's wife was a woman that had the privilege of escaping destruction yet on her way out, she broke the rule and eventually suffered the same fate as the evil doers. Lot was Abraham's nephew and because of God's covenant with Abraham, God sent angels to go and deliver Lot and his family from the destruction that would come upon the city of Sodom where they dwelt. They were the only family that God gave a room of escape in the whole nation of Sodom and Gomorrah. God told them to run out of the land and not look back but Lot's wife, probably, felt that she left some things behind and sought opportunity to go and get them. She looked back and became a pillar of salt. She must have responded to feelings, emotions and sight as she walked away from her treasure and friends. God told her to leave all but she still craved some. Anything you cannot leave for God will destroy you.
You might have been serving the Lord for a long time but know that until you cross the finish line, the battle is not yet over. Lot's wife had left Sodom and Gomorrah but she looked back. You must keep firing on in prayer, fasting consecration and commitment to the Lord. No man is given a crown until the race is over. Don't look back. Child of God, don't yield to temptation. Do not look back and return to the things you left behind. You left fornication, cheating and drinking, still stay out of it. Don't let the sight of the things of Sodom distract you back because they are all marked for destruction. The devil's kingdom has nothing good to offer you. Even the apples of Sodom that look juicy on the outside are laden with worms on the inside.
Lot’s wife desired the things she left behind and looked back. She had not even gone back, she only looked and it was over for her. So why do you want to go back? Do not be tired of your consecration and do not allow situations to discourage you from keeping on your journey of faith. I encourage you today to remember Lot's wife and what happened to her when she looked back. No matter what you have to lose and forfeit to continue on the journey of faith, please do. Don't return to the things of the world that you left. You will not be destroyed with the world, in Jesus’ name, For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul: Heb. 10:36-39.

Prayer/Action
* I forsake everything or cares of life that may have taken hold of me, in the name of Jesus.
* In the name of Jesus, I shall not draw back.
