Reflection 1
Deuteronomy 9:5
Not Our Righteousness !
“It is Not because of your Righteousness or Uprightness of your heart that you go in to possess their land”
This is a REMINDER that Our Salvation is by Grace.
According to Ephesians 2: 8-9″For by Grace you have been saved through faith and that NOT of yourselves; It is the gift of God, not of works,lest anyone should boast”
We shall not WASTE this Great Salvation.
Amen.
Reflection 2
Deuteronomy 9:5
Harvest from The Labour of Others
As Believers, we benefited from the FINISHED WORKS OF THE CROSS.
It is also gratifying to remember the benefits from the labours of love of others such as parents, intercessors and spiritual leaders!!
Contrary to the Wicked Servant that received One Talent in Matthew 25:24 who despised
“The Master for reaping where he has not sown”
We all are reaping from the Labour of Others!!
As Isreal benefitted from the Covenant of God with the Fathers of Faith, we should reflect on the legacies we are passing down to the Generstions Unborn.
Otherwise, we are like the DEAD SEA.God forbid!!
May The Lord help us.
Reflection 3
Deuteronomy 9:29
“We are The People of God”
Brethren, I have good news, because we are “The People of God” hence beneficiaries of
THREE GREAT ASSESTS according to the record in 2 Chronicles 6:32
1. THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS
2. THE MIGHTY HAND
3. THE OUTSTRETCHED ARM.
According to Paslms 118:16, the The Lord’s right hand is exalted; The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
For Sure, The Power of God is superior to all enemies; and is beyond conception and expression and is able to do for his people above ALL we are able to ask or think!
What a Mighty God we serve!!
Prayers
1 Thank God for Jesus

2. Doing Something for Posterity
Father, help us to Labour aright and leave Benefits and LEGACIES for Posterity.
Amen & Amen.
