*THE WORD IS REAL* *DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE* Friday 8th August, 2025 TITLE: SHAMELESSNESS - Part 2 TEXT: ‭‭ Proverbs 13:18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. *MEMORY SCRIPTURE*: ‭Proverbs 13:5 _A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame._ Prayer : Lord, I will not disgrace you in this generation in Jesus name. *EXPOSITION* Dearly Beloved of the Lord, let's look at the Bible accounts for individuals who lived shameless lives, contradicting their positions or relationships with God. Examples include: - Achan, a leader who was supposed to be a good example to the upcoming generation, but he secretly disobeyed God's commands and stole from the forbidden booties in the wilderness (Josh. 7:21). - Judas Iscariot, a disciple who served as treasurer, walked and ate with Christ but played a double game, betraying Jesus despite being part of His inner circle. - Gehazi, a prophet in training who couldn't delay his gratification but lied and accepted a forbidden gift from Naaman, compromising his integrity (2 Kgs 5:26) - Eli's sons, Hophni and Phinehas, who served as priests in Israel. They exemplified shamelessness by: -taken God's offerings for themselves, driven by greed. -they slept with women who served at the entrance of the tabernacle, etc.(1 Sam. 3) Are your actions not demonstrating the characteristics of shamelessness; when you do what is wrong without remorse. All these examples serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of shamelessness and the importance of living a life that honours God and respects moral principles. All these people ended their lives in shameful death. You can make necessary amendments. God bless you _To be continued_ *PRAYERS* : 1 Lord, thank You for the Word of life 2 Lord God, I will change Help me in Jesus name 3 Lord, help our leaders to repent and turn a new leaf in Jesus name ---------------------------------------- *_THE WORD IS REAL_* _Daily Devotional Guide_ is written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit for your daily spiritual growth and comfort.
