Why The Feast?

Why The Feast?         May 21, 2013 – Nehemiah 1 & 2       Return to Admenu Home   Admenu’s Alternate Site           Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully Feast in Nehemiah 1 & 2 .  In the Feast today we begin in the book of Nehemiah chapters one and two.  By reading a chapter (sometimes two) everyday, we read every Word in God’s Word in about 3 years.  Jesus supports this work so we never ask for nor accept donations.  We do accept prayers and prayerful correction.  Thank you for joining us in the Feast.  “The Old Testament history closes with the book of Nehemiah, wherein is recorded the workings of his heart, in the management of public affairs; with many devout reflections. - Nehemiah was the Persian king's cup-bearer. When God has work to do, he will never want instruments to do it with. Nehemiah lived at ease, and in honour, but does not forget that he is an Israelite, and that his brethren are in distress. He was ready to do them all the good offices he could; and that he might know how best to do them a kindness, he makes inquiries about them. We should inquire especially concerning the state of the church and religion. Every Jerusalem on this side the heavenly one will have some defect, which will require the help and services of its friends. Nehemiah's first application was to God, that he might have the fuller confidence in his application to the king. Our best pleas in prayer are taken from the promise of God, the word on which he has caused us to hope. Other means must be used, but the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails most. Communion with God will best prepare us for our dealings with men. When we have intrusted our concerns to God, the mind is set at liberty; it feels satisfaction and composure, and difficulties vanish. We know that if the affair be hurtful, he can easily hinder it; and if it be good for us, he can as easily forward it.”  An overview of Nehemiah in Matthew Henry’s Concise.  Why do we read every word in God’s Word?  God’s Word is life.   “But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”” Matthew 4:4 ESV.  God’s Word feeds our faith.  “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” Romans 10:17 ESV.  Feast to be A Worker Approved by God; “14 Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. 16 But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,” 2 Timothy 2:14-16 ESV.  These are but a few reasons for our Feast.   Jesus wants you?  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil?
