BLACK AND WHITE
Daily Devotional | Saturday, May 25, 2018
By VERY REV. PIESIE SHARACK ASIEDU-LARBI

There are times when we could wish that a clear answer was available. We may long for "black or white" with no "grey" between, but real life does not often allow us to be able to see clearly. There are areas in which decisions need to be made that would be different for two people who face the same problem. Judging the actions of people, knowing what an "ox in the ditch" is, defining coveting, being able to clearly define good or evil in every case. We need to recognize good and evil, but there are grey areas that make it very hard to categorize. We may be too liberal or too conservative. When it comes to God's laws, it is always better to err on the conservative side, but Jesus also condemned tying heavy burdens on to God's directions (Matthew 23:4, John 9:15-16).

Sin is sin; that we know, but some sins cause more grief than others. John wrote that some sin is not unto death (1 John 5:16). In an emergency, David and his followers ate the bread that was forbidden (Matthew 12:3-5). It is necessary that we know grey areas may exist, and all the while we are to be carefully observing God's laws (Deuteronomy 15:5-6).

FIRST ENCOUNTER
Daily Devotional | Friday, May 11, 2018
By REV. JAVES KAKRA - NKRUMAH

1KINGS 9:2 “The Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, as He had appeared unto him at Gibeon.”
There is always a first encounter with the Lord, but must that be enough? Absolutely no! We must yearn for daily renewed appearances, fresh manifestations, new visitations from on high; and I pray and commend to you that as you are getting on in life, that while you thank God for the past, and look back with joy to His visits to you in your early days, you now seek and ask for a second visitation of the Most High through the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Dare to ask for the second touch.
