DO NOT TEMPT HIM
ISAIAH 7:10-15
And Jehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying, Ask a sign of Jehovah your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, nor will I tempt Jehovah. And He said,
Hear now, O house of David; is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also? So, the Lord Himself shall give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel.
Butter and honey he shall eat until he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
KEY VERSE
“But Ahaz said, I will not ask, nor will I tempt Jehovah.” V.12
MESSAGE
The rise in the number of fake prophets and pastors owes largely to many who desperately seek miracles and would
go to any length to get it; they care less if the source is genuine or not. All they want is instantaneous blessing not realizing that God doesn’t work that way.
If in these end times we are still expecting a miracle to prove the omnipotent nature of God,
then something is seriously wrong. God has nothing to prove to anyone. Therefore, it is important not to tempt Him. Jesus could have jumped form the pinnacle of the temple to tempt God but did not. There are bigger issues at hand. Our salvation is paramount.
Even if someone were to be raised from the dead, he will still die. So God doesn’t need to raise the dead now to prove His power.
The greatest miracle is salvation. As such, God gave us the sign of salvation through Christ when a virgin conceived.
The form of conception wasn’t to prove anything but because it was necessary to have an unblemished sacrifice. What signs do you seek? One for selfish aggrandizement or for an eternal course. If it is selfish and carnal, then you are tempting God. Stop tempting God.
Prayer Point: Omnipotent God, lead my heart aright that it will not be deceived to tempt you and thereby get mocked in Jesus name. Amen.

MESSAGE
Since creation, we discover that behind every act of God is His Purpose. No act of God came by chance. He is purpose moved.
The first component of the will of God is divine purpose.
When you discover your purpose, it transforms you. When you discover the purpose of a person you are living with, it will transform your relationship with that person.
Brothers, if a man is overtaken in a fault, you the spiritual ones restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering yourself, lest you also be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the Law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something,
being nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one prove his own work, and then he alone will have a boast in himself, and not in another. For each one will bear his own load.
