10 th 2017
Memorise: And she shall bring forth a
son, and thou shalt call his name
JESUS: for he shall save his people
from sins. Matthew 1:21
Read: Matthew 1:18-21 (King James
Version)
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was
on this wise: When as his mother Mary
was espoused to Joseph, before they
came together, she was found with
child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a
just man, and not willing to make her a
public example, was minded to put her
away privily.
20 But while he thought on these
things, behold, the angel of
the Lord appeared unto him in a dream,
saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear
not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for
that which is conceived in her is of the
Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and
thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he
shall save his people from their sins.
Bible in one year: Joshua 15-17,

MESSAGE:
Today’s memory verse clearly states
that the reason why Jesus Christ came
to this would was to save His people
from sin. Many people fail to realise
the horrors of sin, hence they toy with
it. If only they knew how terrible sin is,
they would maintain a great distance
from it. Romans 6:23 says the wages
of sin is death. This “death” is not
limited to physical death but also
extends to every area of life. Do you
know that sin can lead to physical
death? Going by the laws of many
countries today, if a man is convicted
of killing a fellow human being, he
might have to pay with his own life. In
this case, the sin of murder has led to
physical death. Beyond physical death,
sin can also bring about material
death, marital death, spiritual death,
and more. Sin brings death [Saturday

failing to comply with the divine
commandment on tithes and offering,
some people who once enjoyed a boom
in their businesses have had to face
dryness of the worst kind – almost to
the point of begging for food? This is
how sin can bring about material and
financial death. It can also attract
emotional death. A man or woman
cheating on his or her spouse will bring
about emotional death in that
relationship. In any way you have
attracted death to yourself, may the
mercy of God intercept judgement and
turn its sword away from you in Jesus’
Name!
As far as God is concerned, there is
only one penalty for sin, and that is
death (Ezekiel 18:20 ). Open Heavens

devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye-
Sin brings death. It is important to note
here that this death is separation from
God. If you were brought before the
judgement throne of God, accused of
just one act of sin, you would not be
made to face a sentence of three
months, one year or even five years
imprisonment; God’s judgement for
every size of sin is the same – death.
Today, we categorise sin according to
our understanding. We call some sins
“high crimes” while some others are
seen as harmless. However, whether a
sin is so light or so “innocent” that
everyone approves of it does not
matter to God. All sins fall short of His
standard and are all punishable by
death. We are created to live our lives
fully connected to God, but when sin
comes in, it separates us from our only
Source and Sustainer. If the Blood of
Jesus is not applied to wash away a
person’s sins, the drift away from God
continues until physical death occurs
and the fellow is forever banished to
Hell. In what way is your sinful lifestyle
bringing death upon you today? Rise
up and run to the cross of Jesus
Christ, asking for forgiveness of sins
and cleansing by His Blood. Invite Him
to come into your heart, and thereafter
keep a great distance from sin.
Prayer Point
Father, in Your mercy, reverse every
form of death I have brought upon
myself.
