Inside Story: No Rats for Lunch

July 3, 2025 By admin

Inside Story for Friday 4th of July 2025

By Andrew McChesney

Peter Siamikobo enjoyed digging for rats in a mountainous village in Zambia. The boy and his family ate the rodents with maize-meal porridge at mealtime. They also enjoyed eating pigs and bubble fish. Pork was always on the table at Christmas. Bubble fish was popular for its boneless meat.

So, it came as a surprise to Peter when he learned that the Bible prohibited his favorite meats.

He heard about unclean food for the first time when he traveled about 20 miles from his hometown to visit a brother who was working at a farm operated by Seventh-day Adventist missionaries from the United States. He stayed for Sabbath worship services, and the preacher spoke about the clean and unclean animals of Leviticus 11:1-47. Peter realized that he and his family were following a meal plan that didn’t match the Bible’s teaching.

After a while, the missionaries began to hold worship services in Peter’s elementary school on Sabbath afternoons. Peter attended the meetings, even though he had to walk two miles to reach the school.

His parents, however, discouraged him from going and reminded him that he had been baptized as a baby. Father even ordered him to work on the family farm on Saturdays. Peter didn’t know anything about Sabbath observance, and he quickly did his work in the morning so he go to the afternoon meeting.

In high school, Peter made new friends from Adventist families. He studied the Bible with them and gave his heart to Jesus in baptism by immersion. He stopped eating rats, pork, and bubble fish.

Over time, his parents grew to appreciate the seventh-day Sabbath. They understood why he didn’t eat unclean meat. Every Sabbath that he was at home, they encouraged him not to be late for Sabbath School.

Today, there is an Adventist church in Peter’s town. Through the Adventist influence, many townspeople have stopped eating unclean food.

Peter is grateful that he learned as a boy about the importance of healthy living and glorifying God with his diet. After all, 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (NKJV).

“Thank Jesus for saving me from unclean food,” said Peter, a church elder and head of the Social Sciences Department at Rusangu Secondary School, a Seventh-day Adventist high school, in Zambia.

Pray for the gospel to be proclaimed in Zambia and other countries in the Southern Africa-Indian Ocean Division, the recipient of this quarter’s Thirteenth Sabbath Offering.

Friday: Further Thought – Oppression: The Background and the Birth of Moses

July 3, 2025 By admin

Daily Lesson for Friday 4th of July 2025

Further Thought:

Read Ellen G. White, “Moses,” Pages 241–251, in Patriarchs and Prophets, which will give you significant insights into the studied portion of the biblical text for this week.

Spectacles on Bible

The biblical text states that “the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive” (Exodus 1:17, NKJV). Ellen G. White aptly comments on the faithfulness of the midwives and the Messianic hope: “Orders were issued to the women whose employment gave them opportunity for executing the command, to destroy the Hebrew male children at their birth. Satan was the mover in this matter. He knew that a deliverer was to be raised up among the Israelites; and by leading the king to destroy their children he hoped to defeat the divine purpose. But the women feared God, and dared not execute the cruel mandate. The Lord approved their course, and prospered them.”—Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 242.

The good news in all this is that, despite Satan’s plans, God overruled, and He used faithful people to thwart the enemy. We do live in the territory of our enemy, whom Jesus called “the prince” or “ruler of this world” (Ephesians 2:2, NKJV; John 14:30). Satan usurped this position from Adam, but Jesus Christ defeated him in His life and through His death on the cross (Matthew 4:1-11, John 19:30, Hebrews 2:14). Although Satan is still alive and active, as revealed in his attempt to kill those children, his own execution is certain (John 12:31; John 16:11; Revelation 20:9-10,14). The good news is that life’s difficulties can be overcome by God’s grace (Philippians 4:13). That grace is our only hope.

Discussion Questions

  1. Why did God allow the Hebrews to live in Egypt and be oppressed? Why did it take so long for God to intervene on their behalf? Remember, too, that each person suffered only as long as the person lived. That is, the time of suffering for the nation was long, but each person suffered only as long as that single person lived. Why is making that distinction important in seeking to understand human suffering in general?
  2. Dwell more on the questions regarding how God was able to use Moses’ hotheaded act of killing the Egyptian. Suppose he hadn’t done it? Would that have meant the Hebrews would not have eventually escaped from Egypt? Explain your reasoning.

<–Thursday

“A Life Saved by the Power of Hope”

July 3, 2025 By admin



Marlene was just 11 years old when she ran away from home after a traumatic event. By 17, she was a mother, and she felt that life seemed to be looking up, until it wasn’t . . . as her world fell apart again. Filled with despair and unable to find a way out of her problems, she contemplated the unthinkable: Taking her life and that of her children. She couldn’t bear the thought of her own daughter facing the life of problems she’d faced. But then something unexpected happened. Someone showed her how to tune into one of our AWR radio stations in Peru. Almost overnight, Marlene’s whole world changed as she drank in the words of life and the uplifting music. Watch the full story in this video and see how God was able to transform Marlene’s life—and how He used Adventist World Radio to do so! Yours in the Blessed Hope, Duane McKey
