Made For a Purpose. – 1 Chronicles 1           Feb 11, 2013 - 1 Chronicles 1 Return to Admenu Home Dear  Saints, Today we are prayerfully reading, 1 Chronicles 1.  Brother Mike; “doesn’t reading all this genealogy put you to sleep”?  On the contrary as heirs to the throne, it is important to know our family tree. “The chiefs of Edom were: chiefs Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, 52 Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, 53 Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, 54 Magdiel, and Iram; these are the chiefs of Edom.”1 Chronicles 1, English Standard Version (ESV).  This reading of the family tree is a faith builder.  Remember what God’s Word says; “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.”  “3 Commit your work to the Lord,     and your plans will be established. 4 The Lord has made everything for its purpose,     even the wicked for the day of trouble.” Proverbs 16:3 - 4 ESV.   It is God’s purpose for us to share the Feast Saints, this way we read every Word that God gave us in this Holy Bible in about every three years.   We should continue keeping the first thing first!  That is salvation through the blood of the Lamb.  Remember the Lord made everything for a purpose. Overview; “The books of Chronicles are, in a great measure, repetitions of what is in the books of Samuel and of the Kings, yet there are some excellent useful things in them which we find not elsewhere. The FIRST BOOK traces the rise of the Jewish people from Adam, and afterward gives an account of the reign of David. In the SECOND BOOK the narrative is continued, and relates the progress and end of the kingdom of Judah; also it notices the return of the Jews from the Babylonish captivity. Jerome says, that whoever supposes himself to have knowledge of the Scriptures without being acquainted with the books of Chronicles, deceives himself. Historical facts passed over elsewhere, names, and the connexion of passages are to be found here, and many questions concerning the gospel are explained. ” – Matthew Henry Concise The Feast Mon, February 11, 2013, 1 Chronicles 1, - “Genealogies, Adam to Abraham.

Posted 2/11/2013 LIVING THE CHRISTIAN LIFE – “REAL LIFE” SCRIPTURE: I JOHN 2: 12-17 12 ¶  I remind you, my dear children: Your sins are forgiven in Jesus’ name. 13  You veterans were in on the ground floor, and know the One who started all this; you newcomers have won a big victory over the Evil One. And a second reminder, dear children: You know the Father from personal experience. 14  You veterans know the One who started it all; and you newcomers—such vitality and strength! God’s word is so steady in you. Your fellowship with God enables you to gain a victory over the Evil One. 15  Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. 16  Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. 17  The world and all it’s wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity. DEVOTIONAL: CAUTIONARY WORDS All of us need reminders from time to time. In this scripture we have a list of reminders about the essentials of Christian living. Number 1 reminder is the foundation of living the Christian life. •         Don’t forget your sins are forgiven and victory is yours over the evil one through a personal experience with the Father. You can’t get this by just living well or by being baptized or church membership. Those things are simply follow through after initially receiving Jesus. This enables the victory chant: “Jesus is mine and He lives in my heart.” •         Fellowship with God is the enabler of victory in your life. Getting to know God by fellowship with him via prayer, Bible Reading, and sharing Christ with others. Once a week church attendance is not the essential of fellowship. •         Two loves to avoid is (1) world ways, (2) world goods, only God is the provider of good. •         Wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, and wanting to appear important has nothing to do with Father but brings isolation. •         The world is on its way out but living in Jesus sets us for eternity through Jesus who is the very propitiation for our sin. Living for Jesus is making life REAL. •         In the earlier chapters we were cautioned to forgive and to love others as God loves us. PRAYER THOUGHT: Dear Jesus increase our love and ability to forgive others as proof that we love and live in you. May our obedience and actions be our token of proof.
