Personal Story Of The Day
Who Can You Believe?
Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. Jeremiah 14:14.
In 1977 millions of people lined up at museums in various cities across the United States to view the treasures of the tomb of King Tutankhamen of Egypt. Later, Ali Hassan, curator of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, discovered some of the jewels found in the tomb were not genuine.
They were nothing but glass! When someone asked how this fact could go undetected for so many years, Mr. Hassan replied, "We were blinded by the gold. One just assumes that real gold and real gems go hand in hand. This is a case where they don't."
We would also assume that when a prophet claimed to speak for God, he was telling the truth. But there are situations where that isn't the case either. Certain prophets may bear the title and dress the part, but they are fakes. God declared that many of the prophets in Jeremiah's time were speaking on their own.
While they claimed to speak for the Lord, it was not true. They were speaking on their own initiative and weaving tales to deceive the people. Jeremiah's day was not the only time when false prophets abounded. There are even more and a growing number today.
Through clever deceptions they trick people into believing lies. Many religions are based on false promises and exclusiveness. Preaching the true miraculous gospel of Christ, helps expose the lies. The working of miracles and the following signs that accompany a true Christian reveal the powerlessness of false Christians. Just because the bible is preached, it doesn't mean that the doctrines are any less than false jewels.
The bible is gold, but false doctrines are not jewels... signs, miracles and wonders are the real jewels of God's bible. They are the result of a person filled with faith, who exercises the true love of God through the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit.
Jokes Of The Day
A wise schoolteacher sends this note to all parents on the first day of school: "If you promise not to believe everything your child says happens at school, I'll promise not to believe everything he says happens at home.************************************
After a laborious two-week criminal trial in a very high profile bank robbery case, the jury finally ended its 14 hours of deliberations and entered the courtroom to deliver its verdict to the judge.
The judge turns to the jury foreman and asks, "Has the jury reached a verdict in this case?"
"Yes we have, your honor," the foreman responded.
"Would you please pass it to me," The judge declared, as he motioned for the bailiff to retrieve the verdict slip from the foreman and deliver it to him. After the judge reads the verdict himself, he delivers the verdict slip back to his bailiff to be returned to the foreman and instructs the foreman, "Please read your verdict to the court."
"We find the defendant NOT GUILTY of all four counts of bank robbery," states the foreman.
The family and friends of the defendant jump for joy at the sound of the "not guilty" verdict and hug each other as they shout expressions of divine gratitude.
The defendant's attorney turns to his client and asks, "So, what do you think about that?"
The defendant looks around the courtroom slowly with a bewildered look on his face and then turns to his defence attorney and says, "Does this mean I get to keep the money?"
************************************
At Sunday school they were teaching how God created everything,including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs.
Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and said, Johny, what is the matter? Little Johnny responded, I have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
A Better Provision
This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Joshua 5:9. References from Joshua 5:1-12; Leviticus 11:44-45.
By now you've probably noticed a trend in this series introductions. We're looking at quotes on courage from some historical figures to see how important those attributes are in a leader. Today's quote is one of two from the philosopher Plato, but Joshua put these words into action: Courage is a kind of salvation. The first verse in chapter 5 illustrates the opposite thought.
The foreign kings lost all courage, and knew they were doomed. But for the Israelites, it was a time to recognize and commemorate the life-changing truth that they were about to partake in.
The era of wandering in the wilderness had officially ended, and the Israelites faced a new situation. Those born in the wilderness had not been circumcised, and when the circumcision of the people began and they saw all those who had yet to be set apart unto God in this way, they must have realized that they were leaving the ways of their disobedient fathers behind and entering a new age in the history of their nation.
Joshua and Caleb would have appreciated the significance more than anyone alive, as they would have realized that all of their contemporaries were dead. The lesson here is that disobedience has severe consequences. The Israelites alive at this time had yet to rebel against God in any serious fashion, which was definitely a good thing. But for a culture in which family was so cherished, the loss of an entire generation would not have gone unnoticed.
Israel commemorated Passover with the food of the land, and their days of eating manna were over (v11). This would have been no small thing in the minds and stomachs of the Israelites. After four decades of eating the 'what is it?' the Israelites probably weren't sad to see that item removed from the menu. The fruit of the land must have tasted so much sweeter because of the monotony of the past they were leaving behind.
God was about to provide for them in a much different and more satisfying way. Though He had provided for them in the barren land of the desert, now He would provide them with rich abundance.
A Change of Attitude
Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. Jeremiah13:23.
There's a legend about a scorpion, being a very poor swimmer, who asked a turtle to carry him on its back across the river. "Are you crazy?" exclaimed the turtle. "You'll sting me and I'll drown." "My dear turtle," laughed the scorpion, "if you were to drown, I'd go down with you. Now where's the logic in that?" "You're right," replied the turtle. "Hop on." The scorpion climbed aboard and halfway across the river gave the turtle a mighty sting.
As they both sank to the bottom, the turtle inquired, "Do you mind if I ask you something? You said there is no logic in your stinging me. Why did you do it?" "It has nothing to do with logic," the drowning scorpion replied. "It's just my nature."
God also knows that our human nature is bound by sin and our actions are often without logic as well. Just as an Ethiopian couldn't change the dark colour of his skin or a leopard remove the spots from its pelt, neither could God's people truly do good by themselves. On the surface they could make their actions appear good, but the problem lay deeper.
Just as skin colour and fur markings are more than superficial adornments, the behaviour of the Israelites reflected their sin nature. Their actions came out of a nature that was in rebellion against God.
Many unbelievers today are just like that. They do what appear to be kind and gracious acts. They give generously of their finances and time. But underneath it all is still a rebellious attitude toward God that taints all their actions. Only when our nature is changed are we capable of truly doing something good, and that takes a saving relationship with Christ.
Make sure that your relationship with the Lord is right, based on faith and walking in the full power of the Holy Spirit. Changing your outward behaviour without your inward nature being transformed, is just a cover up. The old substance remains the same. Only the power of the Spirit can make the inner man capable of doing what is truly good.
