NEVER NEGLECT YOUR SALVATION

Devotion 7/8

Hebrews 2:1-4

Do you believe that salvation cannot be lost? But do you know that while saved, you will face God's righteous judgement? And do you understand that God does not rejoice in sin, even though He saves you? Are you aware that you have the responsibility to uphold your salvation with integrity and honesty? To answer these questions correctly, let us turn to the Bible to see what it has to say.

Those who believe in the Name of the Lord Jesus are indeed saved, as the Bible states. However, we must work diligently to maintain this salvation. Many believe that salvation cannot be lost, but must we neglect it? Certainly not! God's Word warns us against neglecting it or drifting away. Hebrews 2:2 says, “... and every transgression and disobedience receives a just reward.” In addition, God’s Word continues saying, “How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation...” Vs3.

Believers should recognise the power and authority of salvation and obey its commands. Hebrews 2:1 says, “Therefore, we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.” There is no reason to indulge in sin simply because we feel secure in our salvation. When believers drift away while saved, there are consequences. Being saved does not grant immunity from God's judgement.

While it is true that believers do not lose their salvation, God calls us to heed earnestly and adhere to our salvation. If we return to sin, the Bible says, there is no more salvation for the second time because Christ has accomplished the work of saving for the last time (Hebrews 10:26).

Before we conclude, challenge yourselves with these questions: How do you balance the assurance of salvation with the call to live responsibly before God? What does it mean for you to give the more earnest heed to the things you have heard about salvation in your daily life? If you have struggled to balance the assurance of your salvation with living responsibly, what new actions will you take in your daily life?

Dear brothers and sisters, this passage is a warning to those who drift away from salvation. You will not escape the righteous judgement of God for neglecting your salvation. There is a consequence for disobedience. You should earnestly heed God, live a responsible life, and avoid drifting away.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help us to never neglect the great salvation You have given us through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Grant us the wisdom and strength to heed earnestly to Your Word, to live responsibly before You, and to avoid drifting away from the truths of salvation. May we honour You with our lives, walk in obedience to Your commands, and cling to the assurance of our salvation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

MAGWI COUNTY UNDER CATTLE ATTACKS AGAIN.

    File Image July 11, 2025. To the Commissioner,  Magwi County Magwi County Maize Crops under Cattle Attack Again I am writing to inform you that Magwi County is once again facing an attack by cattle driven by the Dinka Balalo of Uganda. This is a direct result of an evacuation in response to the President's executive order aimed at stopping cattle-related conflicts in the Acholi region of Northern Uganda. As you may recall, the last conflict in Magwi County, which occurred in February, claimed lives and was not an isolated incident. Similar conflicts have recurred since 2014, when the Dinka Balalo from Bor forcefully entered Magwi County and the Equatoria region. Hon, you and the Magwi County community need to be aware of the potential resettlement of cattle in our lands. Our county's livelihood depends on its fertile soil, whereas the Dinka Balalo's survival relies on milk production. I urge you and your security team to remain vigilant and prevent any cattle ...

IN HIS FOOTSTEPS: The Characters of A Leader's Heart

Meta AI "This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work." 1 Timothy 3:1-7 Devotion 10. July 10, 2025 God's Design for Leadership   God alone is omniscient and sovereign. He designed leadership with specific character traits, appointing humanity to steward the world on His behalf. As we progress through Scripture, we observe God's design for leadership and the character traits required of each individual.   For example, He denied Saul leadership despite the pressure from the people. He chose David from among Jesse's children because David met His criteria, possessing the character and qualities worthy of leadership. In leadership, there are specific characteristics that leaders must embody to lead God's people. Paul listed these qualities in his letter to Timothy, emphasizing integrity, humility, and servanthood as essential for leading the church of God.   The Contrast Between God's Design and the Worl...

ESTABLISH A SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT DINKA KINGDOM WITHIN THEIR TERRITORIES.” Advocate Kenyi Advises President Kiir

Advocate & human rights lawyer Kenyi YA Kenyi said that Salva Kiir has long abandoned the national interest of South Sudan and instead chosen to pursue a narrow and divisive tribal agenda. From the time he was appointed deputy—based on tribal considerations—during the liberation struggle to all his subsequent roles within the regime, Kiir has consistently implemented policies that prioritize the interests of one ethnic group: the Jieng (Dinka), at the direct expense of the other 63 tribes of South Sudan.   Through his actions and appointments, he has systematically planted the seeds of division, ethnic discord, and mistrust among our people. Under his leadership, South Sudan—a sovereign nation built by the collective sacrifice of 64 tribes—has been reduced to what increasingly appears to be an absolute Jieng Kingdom, with Salva Kiir acting as its self-declared King.   If Kiir remains committed to advancing his tribal project, then we are left with no option but to gran...
