Call To Repentance
Please
join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen
minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately
three years. Gods
Not Dead!
“Pay attention to yourselves! If your
brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him,” Luke 17:3
An Overview;
“Hosea is supposed to have been of the kingdom of Israel. He
lived and prophesied during a long period. The scope of his predictions
appears to be, to detect, reprove, and convince the Jewish nation in general,
and the Israelites in particular, of their many sins, particularly their
idolatry: the corrupt state of the kingdom is also noticed. But he invites
them to repentance, with promises of mercy, and gospel predictions of the
future restoration of the Israelites and of the Jews, and their final conversion
to Christianity.” - Matthew Henry Concise.
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Joel Chapter 1; “A
plague of locusts. (1-7) All
sorts of people are called to lament it. (8-13) They
are to look to God.(14-20)
Verses
1-7 The most aged could not remember such calamities as were about
to take place... The more earthly delights we make needful to satisfy us, the
more we expose ourselves to trouble
Verses
8-13 All who labour only for the meat that perishes, will, sooner or
later, be ashamed of their labour… But how blessed are the awakening
judgments of God, in rousing his people and calling home the heart to Christ,
and his salvation!
Verses
14-20 The sorrow of the people is turned into repentance and
humiliation before God… Whatever may become of the nations and churches that
persist in ungodliness, believers will find the comfort of acceptance with
God, when the wicked shall be burned up with his indignation“ - Matthew Henry Concise
Joel’s
prayer, for God’s people; “19
To you, O LORD, I call. For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness,
and flame has burned all the trees of the field. 20 Even the beasts of the
field pant for you because the water brooks are dried up, and fire has
devoured the pastures of the wilderness.” Joel 1:19-20 English Standard Versions
(ESV). God continually calls whole nations and every person (see 2
Peter 3:9) to give up whatever is
hurting or killing them in repentance.
In keeping with repentance and a humble heart; “1
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. 2 Let
another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own
lips.” Proverbs 27:1-2 ESV. No person or
nation will (see Matthew
11:20-21) survive without
repentance and acceptance of Jesus. Every person who repents and calls
Jesus their Lord (see John
3:16) will have an abundant
life everlasting. There is no name other
name than Jesus (see Acts 4:12) that men
can call on to be saved.
Are you ready to trust God? Today is the day of your salvation!
Don’t wait another minute to leave,
change or quit anything (see Revelation
3:20) Jesus is at knocking at your door this minute. He wants you
to come just as you are! Do you hear Jesus calling you? Will you answer
Him today? Do you want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your
life? If the answer is yes to any of these questions please click the
