Simply Promoting Jesus!

Today’s Feast Feb. 6, 2016 – 1 Kings 1 Simply Promoting Jesus! clic aquí en español 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. “Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.”  Psalm 33:4-5, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in 1 Kings Chapter 1; “The history now before us accounts for the affairs of the kingdoms of Judah and Israel, yet with special regard to the kingdom of God among them; for it is a sacred history. It is earlier as to time, teaches much more, and is more interesting than any common histories. David's declining age. (1-4) Adonijah aspires to the throne. (5-10) David makes Solomon king. (11-31) Solomon is anointed king, and Adonijah's usurpation stopped. (32-53)” - Matthew Henry Concise. David is old and his health is declining. Adonijah the son of Haggith, promotes himself to David’s throne. After Nathan and Bathsheba explain the situation to King David, he makes Solomon, his promised heir king. Solomon became king, and Adonijah’s usurpation is stopped; ”49 Then all the guests of Adonijah trembled and rose, and each went his own way. 50 And Adonijah feared Solomon. So he arose and went and took hold of the horns of the altar. 51 Then it was told Solomon, “Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon, for behold, he has laid hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon swear to me first that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.’” 52 And Solomon said, “If he will show himself a worthy man, not one of his hairs shall fall to the earth, but if wickedness is found in him, he shall die.” 53 So King Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and paid homage to King Solomon, and Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.””  1 Kings 1:49-53, ESV.   This is another example of a person trying to take power over God’s will.  God’s Word tell us that God promotes one and puts down another.  The powers appointed over us are promoted by God.  Therefore we should never presume we are more important than another to God.  That is the kind of behavior that will only embarrass us in the best of circumstances. “he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.” Luke 2:28-32, ESV.    In all we do and share put God at the forefront.  The God purposed life keeps God first and exalts others over ourselves in His kingdom.  We should always keep the first thing first. The gift of God, salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  In this way we are never doormats, we are simply promoting Jesus over ourselves.  If the Lord is willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow. You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; admenu.com/prayer.html.  Prayer request or Praise reports can be sent to brother Mike at;  mike@admenu.com 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; “36 “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, ESV. We are building our relationship with Jesus right now, do not wait while you try to change anything.  Click this link for more information; admenu.com/calling.htm .  God Bless You, Brother Mike Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com ….................the small print................................
