TOPIC FOR TODAY, TUESDAY 6:7:21: Don’t be a child of belial

By Dr D.K Olukoya General Overseer MFM worldwide

  

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 51, Psalms 52, Psalms 53, Psalms 54, Psalms 55, Psalms 56, Psalms 57

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 2:12-17

Memory verse: Deuteronomy 13:13 – Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known.

Motivational Quote: Never get busy knowing the things of God without knowing God Himself.

Prophetic Word: You shall not live a useless life, in the name of Jesus.


Belial is used biblically to personify evil, as a description of the Antichrist, and once as a name for satan. The Scripture does not indicate that Belial is the proper name of a specific demon. In 1 Samuel 21:2-17, the Bible calls Eli’s sons, “sons of Belial”. Eli’s sons were utterly wicked and given over to reprobate mind!

Though they held the priestly office, they were stealing from the sacrifices and threatening God’s people with violence and this caused the people of God to abhor the offering of the LORD.

They were aware of Jehovah of course, but did not truly know Him. If you do not know God personally, you are like Eli’s sons – worthless before Him. That was because Eli’s sons did not know the Lord. They were children of Belial despite being covenant children. Belial is used in 2 Corinthians 6:15 as another name for satan.

In that passage, we are instructed not to be yoked together with unbelievers. We are also reminded in that same passage that righteousness and lawlessness, darkness and light are incompatible with one another (2 Cor. 6:14-15).

You cannot be both a child of the devil and a child of God at the same time. You are either a child of God (believer), or a child of satan (unbeliever). There is no third category. Beloved, the Bible says that by their fruits we shall know them. Are you a steadfast believer? That is, what you profess to be (a child of God and a Kingdom-minded person) is who you truly are indeed. Or are you a doublefaced Christian or a hypocrite.

God is merciful and is willing to forgive your unrighteousness if you confess your sins to Him and turn away from them. We are in the dispensation of grace and you don’t have to die a sinner. You can stop that sinful habit now; you can tell the devil and the father of all lies that you don’t ever want to serve him or obey him anymore.

The Bible says that to those who once lived in darkness light has arisen. Let the light of the gospel of salvation come upon your life and let darkness depart permanently. It is hightime you began a journey of intimacy with God and continue till Christ returns. From being a child of Belial, you will now be called the favoured of the Lord!
