June_12_2012 Deu 17
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Deuteronomy 17. I hope you’ll forgive me yesterday I wrote we were in Chapter 17, it should have been 16. God wanted to be the only leader his people needed. However because they wanted to have a king like other nations God gave them the desire of their heart “15 you may indeed set a king over you whom the Lord your God will choose. One from among your brothers you shall set as king over you. You may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.” Deuteronomy 17:15-17, English Standard Version (ESV). As we can see hear while God allows them to set a king over them he gives them direction in choosing the king in that he selects the candidates. As we see he cannot be a foreigner. Just as he gives us direction for setting a person for leadership in our church. If a man is living in sin (non-repentant) he is not a brother in God. God set an example for us in 1st Timothy “3 The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. 2 Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.” 1 Timothy 3:1-3 ESV. As we see here if a person is to be over the members of a church they cannot be living in sin. God would never choose a leader for us who is still living in unrepentant sin. I try (as always) to keep the first thing first. That being salvation through the blood of the only begotten son of God, Jesus! “[Psalm 19] The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.” Psalm 19:1-2 ESV. I send the Feast out as the Holy Spirit inspires me. I am not a Theologian. So if I’m mistaken in the Feast or you want something added or changed on the prayer list. http://www.admenu.com/am/praise.html. please write mlitew8@yahoo.com. To correspond with a pastor email Pastor Glen; evangelistglen@yahoo.com. If the Lord is willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow.
Do you desire to be an overseer in Jesus? Can you give God the Glory? The Lord said that you desire a noble thing. Here is where you must start, if you desire to do a noble thing. You are an eternal being, where you spend eternity depends on your relationship with God? If you want to be sure, you must turn from sin and just say this simple prayer; “Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Saviour.“ If you said this prayer inviting Jesus into your heart. Now turning from sin, and seek fellowship just as we do. We worship and fellowship in a Church (group of believers) that strives to measures up to God’s Word. You need a Bible believing body of believers (church) to worship and pray with. Our salvation depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in full for our sin, when we repent (turn from sin) and accept Jesus. If you have trouble finding a good bible believing church in your neighborhood send me an email and I’ll see if I can help; mlitew8@yahoo.com or if you want a pastor email Pastor Glen; evangelistglen@yahoo.com
The Feast
God Bless you,
Brother Mike
