Today's Feast Let Jesus Be Our Leader!
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.
“60
I
hasten and do not delay to keep your commandments.”
Psalm
119:60
English Standard Version (ESV).
Dear Saints,
Thank
you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue
the Feast by reading Deuteronomy Chapter
17;
“All
sacrifices to be perfect, Idolaters must be slain. (1-7)
Difficult controversies. (8-13)
The choice of a king, His duties. (14-20)"
-
Matthew
Henry Concise.
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,
ESV. As we can see here
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.”
1Timothy
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. If
the Lord is willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow.
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
