Dear  Saints,

On the eve of the New Year I personally want to thank you for your faith and love throughout the life of the Feast and 2012.  I want to wish you all a Happy and Blessed New Year to come!  Today we prayerfully read in, 1 Kings 6.   Her we follow the building of Solomon's temple to completion. The promise given Solomon concerning the temple is extended to us through Jesus. 11 Now the word of the Lord came to Solomon, 12 “Concerning this house that you are building, if you will walk in my statutes and obey my rules and keep all my commandments and walk in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father. 13 And I will dwell among the children of Israel and will not forsake my people Israel.””  1 Kings 6:11:13.  English Standard Version (ESV).   We continue to serve our awesome God through adoption into the family by His grace in Christ Jesus.  It is by joy we walk in God’s statutes, obeying Him, loving God’s rules and keeping all of His commandments, as we share Jesus and walk with Him.  “Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters, “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:16, 18-19 ESV.  We thank Jesus that we have been selected to carry forth the message of salvation.  We will keep the first thing first. That is the gift of God, salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  As long as God is willing and remembering that He is not willing that any should perish.  The Holy Spirit will continue to give us direction and the remembrance of Jesus’ Word as we serve God.  Each and every soul that accepts Jesus becomes an new temple filled with the Holy Spirit

LIVING THE CHRISTIAN LIFE SERIES (Dec 31)
SCRIPTURES: I Peter 3: 1-6
1 ¶ the same goes for you wives: Be good wives to your husbands, responsive to their needs. There are husbands who, indifferent as they are to any words about God, will be captivated
2 by your life of holy beauty.
3 What matters is not your outer appearance—the styling of your hair, the jewelry you wear, the cut of your clothes—
4 but your inner disposition. Cultivate inner beauty, the gentle, gracious kind that God delights in.
5 The holy women of old were beautiful before God that way, and were good, loyal wives to their husbands.
6 Sarah, for instance, taking care of Abraham, would address him as "my dear husband." You’ll be true daughters of Sarah if you do the same, unanxious and unintimidated.
DEVOTIONAL
Today we read God’s instructions about a wife’s duties under God. Tomorrow we will talk about husbands. Consider these attributes.
  • Be a good wife to your husband by your life of holy beauty.
  • Outer appearance is not more important than your inner disposition. God looks on the inside and at the heart.
  • Cultivate (grow) inner beauty which reflects gentle, gracious attitudes that pleases God.
  • Consider the example of holy women of old that were loyal to their husbands.
Divorce was not an option. The example of Sarah’s treatment of Abraham as she addressed him, “my dear husband.” This was an attitude of affection. Wives you need to develop the same attitude and be at peace, non-combative and uninitiated. You can be called the “daughters of Sarah” by following her example. Dear Jesus bless the wives as they serve Jesus to their husbands. Amen.

God Bless you,

Brother Mike

Dec 30_2012 1 Kings 5





Dear  Saints,

Today we prayerfully read in, 1 Kings 5.   There is no advisory (Satan), or other enemies, so Solomon enters into an agreement with Hiram to build the temple.   Solomon drafts workmen for the temple.  Because God has granted him wisdom he works out livable schedules for the workforce. “13 King Solomon drafted forced labor out of all Israel, and the draft numbered 30,000 men. 14 And he sent them to Lebanon, 10,000 a month in shifts. They would be a month in Lebanon and two months at home. Adoniram was in charge of the draft. 15 Solomon also had 70,000 burden-bearers and 80,000 stonecutters in the hill country, 16 besides Solomon's 3,300 chief officers who were over the work, who had charge of the people who carried on the work. 17 At the king's command they quarried out great, costly stones in order to lay the foundation of the house with dressed stones. 18 So Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the men of Gebal did the cutting and prepared the timber and the stone to build the house.”  1 Kings 5:13:18.  English Standard Version (ESV).   When we a faithfully serving God and he hands us a task, God provides the means to complete it. The Holy Spirit provides the wisdom to complete our tasks in a manner that honors God.  “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”” John 16:33 ESV.  We have Jesus love to guide us in his purpose.  He has given us a mandate to carry the Gospel message to the entire world.  In doing so we keep the first thing first. That is the gift of God, salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  The Holy Spirit will give us the wisdom and the words to complete our tasks, in God’s name.

Living the Christian Life Series- Dec 30.2012
SCRIPTURE: I PETER 2:
9 But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—
10 from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.
11 Friends, this world is not your home, so don’t make yourselves cozy in it. Don’t indulge your ego at the expense of your soul.
12 Live an exemplary life among the natives so that your actions will refute their prejudices. Then they’ll be won over to God’s side and be there to join in the celebration when he arrives.
13 ¶ Make the Master proud of you by being good citizens. Respect the authorities, whatever their level;
14 they are God’s emissaries for keeping order.
15 It is God’s will that by doing good, you might cure the ignorance of the fools who think you’re a danger to society.
16 Exercise your freedom by serving God, not by breaking the rules.
17 Treat everyone you meet with dignity. Love your spiritual family. Revere God. Respect the government.
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: “Nothing to Something; Rejected to Accepted”
Did you know that you were picked by God to be on his team? I remember in grade school I was a captain and I had to choose my players and the other captain would choose his players. The best news is that God chooses everybody to be on his team and it’s up to you to sign up. In this scripture we are reminded that we citizens of Gods Kingdom so carry out your assignment. Here are the components of your assignment. Dear God please help us to bring honor to your name. Thank you Jesus.
  1. Live an exemplary life; the Christ life.
  2. Be a good citizen.
  3. Respect authorities.
  4. Serve God by not breaking the rules.
  5. Treat others with dignity.
  6. Love your Spiritual family.
  7. Revere God.
  8. Respect the government.


God Bless you,

Brother Mike
