Moral Lesson For Today :
God will not bless a harlot of Faith as He blessed Jacob. God regards an idol worshipper as a prostitute and He has said He will not share His glory with any.
THEREFORE TO YOU, “GOD WILL NOT LEAVE YOU UNTIL HE HAS FINISHED WITH YOU.”
“Hence, be mindful of how you serve God, because He God, does not mix wine.”
The Message For Today.
After the sons of Jacob had killed Hamor, his son Shechem and all the males circumcised of their household and took away all their treasures, cattle, their wives and children, (Genesis 34 : 26 – 29), it could have been expected, there would be pursued.
There is no record in the immediate verses in Genesis of God speaking about the event, even though Jacob was deeply stressed ( Genesis 34 : 30), over the action of Simon and Levi, the sons of Leah whose sister Dinah was defiled by Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite.
God immediately in Genesis 35 : 1 – 2, said to Jacob :
35:1 And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. (Genesis 35 : 1 – 2).
Jacob who remained loyal to God told all the people to remove all their strange gods and so they can move to Bethel and build an altar for the Lord. If you want to serve God do not keep any other god, for God hates idol worship,and has said He will not share His glory with any. People keep other gods and worship satan and fallen angels, while in search for protection. Do you think such people are really protected?
All of humanity are subject to many life travails, but those who have confidence in God shall be like Mount Zion.
I wish you take note of the following in the book of Psalms (Chapter 125 : 1 – 5)
125:1 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
125:2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
125:3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
125:4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
125:5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel. (Psalm 25 :1-5)
Candidly, God was with them as they passed and the cities around were terrified.
In Genesis 35 : 5, we note:
35:5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. (Genesis 35 : 5).
Because they had made God their God, God will always protect His own.

Moral and Spiritual Lesson Today :
God will not bless a harlot of Faith as He blessed Jacob. God regards an idol worshipper as a prostitute and He has said He will not share His glory with any.
Therefore be mindful of how you serve God, because He God, does not mix wine.
Jacob obeyed God in his life and maintained perfect relationship with Him.
God always reminded Jacob of His salvation in difficult times.
Jacob also recounted the promises of God to him, an assurance of God as a COVENANT keeping God.
Read Genesis 28 :15 :
“And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.”
THEREFORE TO YOU, “GOD WILL NOT LEAVE YOU UNTIL HE HAS FINISHED WITH YOU.”
You either serve Him or Satan, because He will not share His glory.
Prayer for today :
God Almighty, please Lord, grant me the grace to remain faithful in your Word.
