8th Year 12-14 Edition 3 –II Kings 17 l The Feast l Nano second in eternity!  – 2 Kings 17         Feb 1, 2013 - 2 Kings 16 Return to Admenu Home Dear  Saints, Today we are prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 16.  God expects His people to love and honor him.  We cannot and must not serve 2 masters. The Israelites were trying to serve multiple gods, and God pulls His protection from them. “36 but you shall fear the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm. You shall bow yourselves to him, and to him you shall sacrifice. 37 And the statutes and the rules and the law and the commandment that he wrote for you, you shall always be careful to do. You shall not fear other gods, 38 and you shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you. You shall not fear other gods, 39 but you shall fear the Lord your God, and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.” 40 However, they would not listen, but they did according to their former manner. “ 2nd Kings 17:36-40 English - Standard Version (ESV).   There is only one God and he wants our hearts to turn to Him only.  “But, as it is written,“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— 1 Corinthians 2:9 ESV.  Saints if we had any idea what God has in store for us when he takes us home, no one could even think of any other thing.  Can you imagine Jesus greeting you saying; well done my good and faithful one?  With that in mind it is easy to keep the first thing first.  That being salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  Let your light shine keep your eyes on Jesus!  Remember this first part of life is less than a Nano second in eternity.

Posted 2/2/2013 Tick-Tock SCRIPTURE: 1 JOHN 2: 7-17 (The Message Translation) 7 ¶ my dear friends, I’m not writing anything new here. This is the oldest commandment in the book, and you’ve known it from day one. It’s always been implicit in the Message you’ve heard. 8 On the other hand, perhaps it is new, freshly minted as it is in both Christ and you—the darkness on its way out and the True Light already blazing! 9 Anyone who claims to live in God’s light and hates a brother or sister is still in the dark. 10 It’s the person who loves brother and sister who dwells in God’s light and doesn’t block the light from others. 11 But whoever hates is still in the dark, stumbles around in the dark, doesn’t know which end is up, blinded by the darkness. 12 ¶ I remind you, my dear children: Your sins are forgiven in Jesus’ name. 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:  TIC-TOCK The oldest commandment in the book is; “Love One Another” God has not changed that nor has He made it an option. There is no double life in Christianity. You cannot hate a brother or a sister and love God. Either you are in the light resulting in loving on another or you are in the dark, resulting in being a hater! Here is a reminder list of actions because you are in the Light. 1.     Your sins are forgiven. (vv 12) 2.     Don’t love the world or the world’s ways. 3.     Love of the world and its goods or wanting to appear important squeezes out Love for the Father. 4.     Whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.(vv. 17) 5.     The world is on its way out.

8th Year 12-14 Edition 3 –II Kings 16 l The Feast l Set free from sin! – 2 Kings 16            Feb 1, 2013 - 2 Kings 16 Return to Admenu Home Dear  Saints, Today we are prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 16.  We see more turmoil in the Holy Land, King Ahaz holds the Sabbath in contempt.  He holds God in low esteem as he seeks to please the king of Assyria. “17 And King Ahaz cut off the frames of the stands and removed the basin from them, and he took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone pedestal. 18 And the covered way for the Sabbath that had been built inside the house and the outer entrance for the king he caused to go around the house of the Lord, because of the king of Assyria.“ 2nd Kings 16:17-18 English - Standard Version (ESV).   Believers should reach out to Jesus when the going gets rough.  Sometimes it is fear that causes men to sin against God. Sin compounds itself when men in desperation, try to please man.  “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.” Deuteronomy 6:4-5 ESV.  God has plans for every ounce of your strength, He wants us to love and trust him above all else.  Let’s keep the first thing first.  That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  Do we please man over God, when we have sinned?  Putting God first sets us free from sin.  Ask God for help in hard times, when sin is dragging you down, ask for forgiveness in Jesus name, he alone overcame death and corruption. Please see today’s devotional submitted by Pastor Glen. The Feast Fri, February 1, 2013, 2 Kings 16, - “Ahaz, king of Judah, His wicked reign. (1-9) Ahaz takes a pattern from an idol's altar.

Posted 2/1/2013 BENEFITS OF CONFESSION SCRIPTURES: 1 JOHN 1:3-8  3  We saw it, we heard it, and now we’re telling you so you can experience it along with us, this experience of communion with the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ. 4 Our motive for writing is simply this: We want you to enjoy this, too. Your joy will double our joy! 5 ¶ This, in essence, is the message we heard from Christ and are passing on to you: God is light, pure light; there’s not a trace of darkness in him. 6 If we claim that we experience a shared life with him and continue to stumble around in the dark, we’re obviously lying through our teeth—we’re not living what we claim. 7 But if we walk in the light, God himself being the light, we also experience a shared life with one another, as the sacrificed blood of Jesus, God’s Son, purges all our sin. 8 ¶ If we claim that we’re free of sin, we’re only fooling ourselves. A claim like that is errant nonsense. 9 On the other hand, if we admit our sins—make a clean breast of them—he won’t let us down; he’ll be true to himself. He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing. DEVOTIONAL:                            “WILL YOU CONFESS?” Mankind has a spiritual sickness that if untreated results in being bound in Hell for eternity. Would you move to a residence that all the neighbors had records of molesters, murderers, robbers, and dope dealers, angry men consumed by evil, rapist and mass murderers? The truth of the matter is that if you don’t confess your sin and confess Jesus as the Christ and the way of eternal life then you are headed to such a place for eternity. It is imperative that you make your decision while you are alive. After physical death no amount of praying can save you and it’s too late to choose Christ. This is not a scare tactic but merely the truth. My prayer for you is that if you have not asked Jesus into your life that you bow your head and confess you are a sinner and ask him into your heart. Verse 9 tells us “He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing. PRAYER THOUGHT: Dear Jesus I confess my sin and I need you to forgive me and purge me of all wrongdoing.

8th Year 12-14 Edition 3 –II Kings 15 l The Feast l Just ask! – 2 Kings 15            Jan 30, 2013 - 2 Kings 15 Return to Admenu Home Dear  Saints, Today we are prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 15.  We see a lot of turmoil in the Holy Land, as we read today’s Feast. Jotham the son of Uzziah, reigns as king of Judah.  Though he did what was right in the eyes of the lord, he didn’t do everything that God expected.  God allowed army’s to continue to raid his kingdom because he did things halfway.  “37 In those days the Lord began to send Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah. 38 Jotham slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father, and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.“ 2nd Kings 15:37-38 English - Standard Version (ESV).  We can’t serve our God halfway.  Jesus is the center of a Godly life, with no high places on the side.  When we sin we must repent and ask God to forgive us.  With everything we’ve read in God’s Word we know we can depend on God.  “For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.” Psalm 86:5 ESV.  We are saved, by grace not by our own works.  When we sin we must be faithful to repent and ask God for forgiveness.  Jesus loves you, keep the first thing first.  That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  God is not willing that any should perish, so he is true to forgive us when we ask for forgiveness. The Feast Thu, January 31, 2013, 2 Kings 15, - “Reign of Azariah, or Uzziah, king of Judah. (1-7) The latter kings of Israel. (8-31) Jotham, king of Judah.

Posted 1/31/2013 Living the Christian Life Series- 1/31/2013 SCRIPTURES: 2 PETER 3:8-15 8 ¶ Don’t overlook the obvious here, friends. With God, one day is as good as a thousand years, a thousand years as a day. 9 ¶ God isn’t late with his promise as some measure lateness. He is restraining himself on account of you, holding back the End because he doesn’t want anyone lost. He’s giving everyone space and time to change. 10 But when the Day of God’s Judgment does come, it will be unannounced, like a thief. The sky will collapse with a thunderous bang, everything disintegrating in a huge conflagration, earth and all its works exposed to the scrutiny of Judgment. 11 ¶ Since everything here today might well be gone tomorrow; do you see how essential it is to live a holy life? 12 Daily expect the Day of God, eager for its arrival. The galaxies will burn up and the elements melt down that day— 13 but we’ll hardly notice. We’ll be looking the other way, ready for the promised new heavens and the promised new earth, all landscaped with righteousness. 14 So, my dear friends, since this is what you have to look forward to, do your very best to be found living at your best, in purity and peace. 15 Interpret our Master’s patient restraint for what it is: salvation. DEVOTIONAL:      “PREPARING TO MEET GOD” Recently we traveled to Nebraska to see my youngest daughter and family. When we landed I entered the airport scanning the crowd to spot my daughter who I had not seen in 15 years. When I saw her my heart jumped and joy filled my soul. Have you thought how you are going to feel when Jesus returns? Will you be able to say, “My Lord I have been waiting for you and I am so glad you are here? Verse 11 in the scripture reminds us that is essential to live a holy life and to daily expect the Day of God. As the earth burns up our attention will focus on the promised new earth which is landscaped with righteousness. When you wake up in the morning ask yourself is this the day that I will meet the Lord and may our reply be like John in Revelation, “Even so Lord come Quickly.” Remember when the last person is saved that God has waited patiently on, it is then he will come. So share Him every day, email, phone, write, telephone and share Christ. PRAYER: GOD I WANT TO BE READY FOR YOU. PLEASE LORD FORGIVE ME OF MY SIN AND SAVE ME.

8th Year 12-14 Edition 3 –II Kings 14 l The Feast l Licensed to sin? – 2 Kings 14         Jan 30, 2013 - 2 Kings 14 Return to Admenu Home Dear  Saints, Today we are prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 14.  Our God the Great IM never changes. When we read today’s feast we once again see God’s faithfulness and mercy.     “26 For the Lord saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter, for there was none left, bond or free, and there was none to help Israel. 27 But the Lord had not said that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, so he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.“ 2nd Kings 14:26-27 English - Standard Version (ESV).  God is true to His people, Jesus promised he would never leave nor forsake us. So is this our license to sin?  “1 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:1-3 ESV.  We are saved, we are children of God!  We know God does not tolerate sin or liars in the kingdom of heaven.  Walk in truth and love like Jesus.  Ask yourself what would Jesus really do, before you commit to any action or word.  Walking in love keeping the first thing first, salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  Let your life be a light in a world filled with darkness.  Our God is always true to His word.
