Verse: It is my pleasure to tell you about the miraculous signs and wonders that the Most-High God has performed for me. Daniel 4: 2.
Verse: Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. Genesis 19:11.
Lot brought the two men (angels) to his house and welcomed them. But when he heard about the strange expectations of city men. They were asking him for the guests to have a sexual relationship. Lot tried to persuade them he had offered them his own two virgins, but they did not listen and when they tried to break down the door, the angels opened the door and fulled him in and blinded the men.
Leviticus 18:22 says, “Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.” The city was rich with fertile land and abundant water, but the city men had no fear of God, even they don’t care about social norms. The men could understand nothing even after they became blind, but they were tiring the complete night searching for the door of Lot’s house. You can imagine how to extend this evil rooted in their life. The destruction of Saddam and Gomorrah is an example for us today to understand the future of this world.
We should note here that some churches are supporting homosexuality. Many countries around the world supporting homosexuality even in our own country this evil spreading. Justice of this world is near. People are being brought to salvation as they are being pulled out of the fire. Today’s Christians are protecting people from destruction, just like angels. The good news is the foremost need of this world today. ” Last trumpet can sound any time.” The judgment of this world is very near.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I thank you for saving me from this sinful world. Lord, allow me to reach out to many with your gospel so that many souls may save before the day of judgment. Lord Jesus, please do not let them perish under the power of sin. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

13TH DAY. BE AWARE OF THIS WORLD
Verse: But he (Lot) insisted’ so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Genesis 19: 3
Just as Abraham welcomed these angels, so Lot welcomed them here. The only difference is that since they had gone to see Abraham, God had appeared to him there and had swallowed his request because God had chosen Abraham for a special plan. Lot, however, had to urge them here. He did not recognize them, but he was urging them because he was a righteous man. 2 Peter 2: 6-8 we consider Guest equal to God. This is our cultural heritage in the East as well. This prompted Lot to urge the men to stay at his home. There may be another reason, as he had been living with them for many years and knowing the wickedness of those people, he was worried about what would happen if he stayed out on the street. Lot’s behaviour was a sign of his righteousness, but why did this righteous man go out in the company of such wicked people? Why was he suffering from their behaviour? Not only that but now he. Had also chosen his sons-in-law from them. The answer to all these questions is material prosperity. The region was fertile and underwater land, where it had plenty of fodder and water. He was sure that his wealth would increase a lot there. He had this vicious Ingle on his back, but he did not know how serious it would be for him and his family in the future.
We are really religious and righteous like Lot, but we need to be aware of where and when materialistic desires hold us with evil fellowship. friends will ever befriend the world. May God keep us from this dangerous world.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I thank you for choosing me as Abraham. Let me know you are the only one who supplies me and keeps me away from the desires of the world. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

14TH DAY BE A BLESSING FOR THIS WORLD.
Verse: then he said, may the Lord not be angry, but late me speak just once more. “What if only ten can be found there?” Genesis 18:32.
When we carry out personal spiritual responsibilities, it affects the spiritual life and the blessings of the community. Many people are at the forefront of blaming each other today. If they dedicate themselves to a holy life, they can be a blessing to society and the country. When God told Abraham that the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were full of wickedness, he would destroy them with fire and brimstone. So Abraham thought that right there is an increase in wickedness, but there will be some righteous people. Will God destroy the righteous with the wicked? To find out, he beseeched God, “Will you destroy the righteous with the wicked?” If there were only fifty righteous people, would you not forgive those cities for those fifty righteous ones? God said I will forgive those cities for fifty righteous people. Abraham doubted if there were less righteous people there. To reduce this number in order to know exactly for how many righteous people God will forgive.
He brought it up to ten. God said, “If there are ten righteous people, I will forgive those cities for them.” One thing we must remember from this is that the righteousness we have received from Christ is a blessing to our society and our country. God never destroys the righteous with the wicked. Psalm 1: 4-6. Noah was the only righteous man who not only saved his family but also the rest of his life. So it would be better for us to see if we hold the righteousness of Christ than to judge one another. The Lord will come and judge this world, but the grace we have received until then will be a cause of grace for others.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I thank you for giving me your righteousness. The grace that I have now, let it be a cause of grace to others and a blessing to others. Asks in the name of Jesus. Amen.

15TH DAY. GOD REVEALS TO US THE FUTURE OF THIS WORLD.
Then the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?” Genesis 18:17.
Here God asked himself, should he hide from Abraham that how he was going to judge Sodom and Gomorrah? If we think, why would have God care for Abraham? As we think about it further, we know God’s holy will from what he is saying to himself. Genesis 18: 18-19. He thinks that the nation he is going to build from Abraham should be blessed, but that nation should show God’s way to all the nations on earth, and all those nations should be blessed. In short, God wants people of all races and religions to be blessed. This means that God foretold to Abraham the punishment that was to be inflicted on Sodom and Gomorrah so that from Abraham to the present day and to all generations to come, God’s judgment would be done, and there would be no wickedness like Sodom and Gomorrah. God always thinks of the welfare of all. That is why he came into the world as the Lord Jesus, teaching us the values of the Kingdom of God. He showed in action how great the reward of a holy life is.
Revealing the perverted face of the system, exposing the limitations of Satan’s power by conquering death, and entrusting the good news of the salvation of all humankind to our Christian brothers and sisters so that no one should perish like Sodom and Gomorrah but everyone who follows Christ’s righteous ways should prosper. He should be saved from the punishment of hell and receive eternal life, heavenly life. This is God’s holy will. God expects from us as much as Abraham did, so we are his spiritual children and partakers of his blessings.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I thank you for the service you have given me. Grant me, I pray thee, with thy holiness, and proclaim the gospel unto every one of my brethren, that your holy will may be made known to the world, and that they might not be destroyed, as Sodom and Gomorrah did. I ask this prayer in the name of Jesus. Amen.
