7th Year 11-12 Edition 3 – Jos 7
l The Feast l
July_30_2012 Joshua 7
Dear Saints,
Did you have a good weekend? Be careful to continue to give God all that is due to Him. Don't take God's glory or property for your own gain as you serve Him. Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Joshua 7. We see that God gave His people victory over Jericho. However as we read today we see Achan took spoils from that which belonged to God. God is displeased with Achan to the extent that some of Ahan's fellow soldiers died in the next campaign. Joshua doesn't understand why God would turn His back on the Israelite army. “10 The Lord said to Joshua, “Get up! Why have you fallen on your face? 11 Israel has sinned; they have transgressed my covenant that I commanded them; they have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen and lied and put them among their own belongings. 12 Therefore the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted for destruction. I will be with you no more, unless you destroy the devoted things from among you.” Joshua 7:10-12 English Standard Version (ESV). As we serve our Lord give Him the Glory for he alone is worthy. As we serve God in love and faith allow him to reward each of us. “[ Choose Whom You Will Serve ] “Now therefore fear the LORD and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:14 (ESV). We are reading God's word our faith is producing works. He is worthy of our praise and our love. Serve him faithfully and allow Him to reward you. “Only fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you.“ 1 Samuel 12:24 (ESV). Saint, ask yourself if you're willing to enter into a personal relationship with God, can you serve God on his terms? Share His gifts giving Him all that is due to Him. ““You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14,16 ESV. Our personal relationship with Jesus allows us to freely share that which He has given us. Give up what you cannot keep for the gift you cannot loose. Be sure to keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of Jesus. I am not a theologian so if you want to see something changed 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.
The Feast
Don’t get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship. 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 and accept Jesus. He will come to get every Saint; “…But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” Matthew 24:36. We are building our relationship with Jesus right now, do not wait while you try to change anything.
God Bless you,
Brother Mike

“[Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith] Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,”Hebrews 12:1 ESV.
