*SERIOUS SALVATION* (X)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee."* (Jude 1:8-9 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Still calling out the shortcomings that serious believers must seriously contend against, Jude cited how these "certain men" who "crept in unawares" are filthy dreamers who defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignitaries. He contrasted them with the archangel who when contending with the devil over the body of Moses, was quite modest and restraint and rather called upon God to rebuke the devil.
We learn again that God does not approve of defilement of the flesh, despising of dominions and speaking evil against dignitaries.
New Living Translation rendition of Jude 1:8-9 is helpful: *In the same way, these people—who claim authority from their dreams—live immoral lives, defy authority, and scoff at supernatural beings. But even Michael, one of the mightiest of the angels, did not dare accuse the devil of blasphemy, but simply said, "The Lord rebuke you!" (This took place when Michael was arguing with the devil about Moses' body.)*
We understand that immoral living (defilement of flesh), defying authority, and scoffing at supernatural beings are practices we see around us today. We must be wary. But even more importantly, we must be wary to conclude that we are discussing certain men and not "some of us".
Check the list again, of the things Jude warned against. Anyone can be guilty of this. No believer should assume they are above the errors on the list. The devil takes advantage of the unsuspecting the most. Let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
Check your life again! Do you subscribe to any known immoral living? How do you deal with issues against authorities!? Note that authorities may be wrong but there is a God approved way to address such errors. Also how do we speak when dignitaries or highly placed spiritual or supernatural beings are involved?
This calls you to examine our approach and our lives. And not just assume it does not concern you. May we not participate in things that will bring us to destruction.
_MEDITATION:_
*"But these people sneer at anything they can't understand, and by doing whatever they feel like doing--living by animal instinct only--they participate in their own destruction."* Jude 1:10 (The Message)

*SERIOUS SALVATION* (IX)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.* (Jude 1:7 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
The faithfulness of God demands consistency. God is consistent in His principles. Jude reminds us of how God did not spare those he saved from Egypt but later gave up due to their unbelief.
He equally did not spare the angels who failed to keep to their duty post, but have them under judgment of everlasting chains.
Likewise Jude reminds us that even Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, as they gave themselves over to fornication and fleshy and sensual practices, were not spared by God. They suffered judgment for their sin.
God plainly leaves us in no doubt of what he won't tolerate or overlook. Salvation will always mean cessation and rejection of sinful lifestyles. To think otherwise is to ignore obvious red lights and serious warnings.
If you think salvation means deliverance from judgment and condemnation even when you continue in sinful practices and lifestyle, you have clearly been deceived. You are following another Gospel. Repent!
_MEDITATION:_
*"For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world."* (Titus 2:11-12 (KJV))

*GWR vs GWR*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise."* (2 Corinthians 10:12 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Hilda Baci started the cooking on Thursday 11th may and ended on Monday 15th may. Since she finished, everybody have been celebrating her with reservations including herself because it's not victory yet until the right quarters says so.
It doesn't take Hilda to approve herself neither does it take the onlookers. In one of her posts she was praying for the GWR to acknowledge her success and announce her as the record breaker.
Nobody's acknowledgement will ever satisfy her except that of Guinness. No matter the book you write her name, it won't be satisfying to her as it would be to her when it appears inside the Guinness book of record.
When they finally want to give their results, what they announced turned out to be different from what we all had in mind. From their own findings, the hours were reduced and it turned out to be different from all our assumptions because they don't judge the way we judge.
What does all of these teaches us because we learn from everything and everywhere as wise Christians.
It is God who justifies....
It is God who will give results to men.
He doesn't see the way we do. It's unwise to rejoice because men approved you when you have not received heavenly approval. It's dangerous to be rejoicing because your name is filled in all the books and registers in your church whereas it's not present in the lambs book of life. It's unwise to judge things before the time.
There will surely be great surprises on the last day because the people you think would be in heaven because of your human assessment might be conspicuously absent. If Samuel at the level of his prophetic would have mistakenly anointed Eliab instead of David then get ready for more surprises.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Calm down. Be conscious of what heaven is saying. Don't be carried away by the eulogies and encomium Men might be pouring on you here. All those more grace sir, ride on sir, I celebrate grace sir, talk to me sir, I hear you papa, it's working sir and all those religious praises of men will not matter if God hasn't approved you for only by him(God) actions are weighed.*
Like having your name feature on Guinness World Records, you rather be on the good side of God's World Records!

*SERIOUS SALVATION* (VIII)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day."* (Jude 1:6 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
As God so loves the world, so also he so loves his justice and righteousness.
You can't bribe God with his love for you. You can't please God with who you used to be. You must please God with who you are, and who you are becoming. You can't please God by your faith of yesterday, you must stand firm in faith to please God today or tomorrow. For now, faith is!
As it is with men so it is with angels. God won't spare men neither will he spare angels. Once you stop being right with God, and you fail to heed all calls to repent, God ceases to owe you His salvation's protection.
If even angels who forgot to keep their right standing with God, were not spared, God will not spare the very humans who fail to KEEP being serious about their salvation.
Whatever you don't value, God is not committed to grant unto you. Just as *"Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men"* (John 2:24 (KJV))
He knows those who are not ready! He knows those who are not serious. He knows those who are not faithful.
*"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."* (2 Timothy 2:19 (KJV))
Take your salvation seriously.
_MEDITATION:_
*"If you are not taking your salvation seriously, don't expect God to take your salvation seriously too. Remember: God's faithfulness does not answer to your weakness (that is to say, his faithfulness is not measured against your weakness); His faithfulness answers to His righteousness (His faithfulness is measured against His righteousness)*

*SERIOUS SALVATION* (VII)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that THE LORD, HAVING SAVED THE PEOPLE OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, AFTERWARD DESTROYED THEM THAT BELIEVED NOT."* Jude 1:5 (KJV)
_Bible Insight:_
Remember: Salvation is continuous. You were saved yesterday. (Romans 10:1,9, 13) You are being saved today (1 Tim 4:16; Heb 7:25; James 1:21). And you are to be saved tomorrow (Rom. 5:9,10;8:24; 1Cor3:15;5:5). Selah!
If you ever forget this fact, you will lose salvation.
*"But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins."* (2 Peter 1:9 (KJV))
Salvation does not last with the forgetful!
God wants you to keep remembering and not be forgetting that THE LORD, HAVING SAVED THE PEOPLE OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, AFTERWARD DESTROYED THEM THAT BELIEVED NOT.
That you once believed never guarantees you will always believe. That you once got saved, never guarantees that you will always be saved. That you were once on fire, is not a guarantee you will always be on fire. That you were once righteous, does not guarantee you are still righteous or that you will always be righteous.
Behold, we must never forget this:-
THE LORD, HAVING SAVED THE PEOPLE OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, AFTERWARD DESTROYED THEM THAT BELIEVED NOT.
Don't ever forget to stay REMEMBERING! Don't ever forget or be tired to stay BELIEVING!
_MEDITATION:_
*He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.* (Revelation 22:11 (KJV))
