SHOULD I WORK AND MARKET ON SUNDAY ?
Oh! God should I shop and business work
on Sunday? If I do will God continue to bless my family with food and health? Yes, I know the fourth commandment
of the ten commandants informs us to keep the Sabbath holy. To most Christians, the Sabbath is Sunday. Let us read below
what God says to us through the Scriptures.

| LET IT BE SAID, I TRIED TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE |
Book of Deuteronomy in the Old Testament, Chapter 8,
Verses 8-20
1. A Call to Remember and Obey "Be careful to obey all the commands I am giving you
today. Then you will live and multiply, and you will enter and occupy the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors. 2 Remember
how the LORD your God led you through the wilderness for forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character,
and to find out whether or not you would really obey his commands. 3 Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then
feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people need more
than bread for their life; real life comes by feeding on every word of the LORD. 4 For all these forty years your clothes
didn't wear out, and your feet didn't blister or swell. 5 So you should realize that just as a parent disciplines a child,
the LORD your God disciplines you to help you.
6 "So obey the commands of the LORD your God by walking in
his ways and fearing him. 7 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land of flowing streams and pools of water,
with springs that gush forth in the valleys and hills. 8 It is a land of wheat and barley, of grapevines, fig trees, pomegranates,
olives, and honey. 9 It is a land where food is plentiful and nothing is lacking. It is a land where iron is as common as
stone, and copper is abundant in the hills. 10 When you have eaten your fill, praise the LORD your God for the good land he
has given you.
11 "But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the LORD
your God and disobey his commands, regulations, and laws. 12 For when you have become full and prosperous and have built fine
homes to live in, 13 and when your flocks and herds have become very large and your silver and gold have multiplied along
with everything else, 14 that is the time to be careful. Do not become proud at that time and forget the LORD your God, who
rescued you from slavery in the land of Egypt. 15 Do not forget that he led you through the great and terrifying wilderness
with poisonous snakes and scorpions, where it was so hot and dry. He gave you water from the rock! 16 He fed you with manna
in the wilderness, a food unknown to your ancestors. He did this to humble you and test you for your own good. 17 He did it
so you would never think that it was your own strength and energy that made you wealthy. 18 Always remember that it is the
LORD your God who gives you power to become rich, and he does it to fulfill the covenant he made with your ancestors.
19 "But I assure you of this: If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods, worshiping and bowing
down to them, you will certainly be destroyed. 20 Just as the LORD has destroyed other nations in your path, you also will
be destroyed for not obeying the LORD your God. NLT
What does Scriptures say about
the Sabbath Day? - Deuteronomy 5:12-15 Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD your God commanded
you. 13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you
shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your
donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates, that your male servant and your female servant
may rest as well as you. 15 And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out
from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
NKJV
