To whom do we listen?       April 13, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 22     Return to Admenu Home           Dear  Saints,   Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 22.  Today we see another wicked reign by Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram.  Just like his father he didn’t follow after God. His mother was his counselor.   “3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in doing wickedly. 4 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, as the house of Ahab had done. For after the death of his father they were his counselors, to his undoing.” 2 Chronicles 22:3-4 English Standard Version (ESV). God reveals his downfall early in these scriptures.  Don’t make the mistake of taking advice from ungodly people.  Seek God in all matters, seek him in prayer, look for and expect God’s answer. If you seek advice from people again pray about their answer hold them up to the light of God’s Word.  Remember this scripture; “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,” Romans 3:23-24 ESV.  Look at counselor’s life; does it reflect the light of Jesus?  Are they of good reputation at your church?  Ask yourself; does their advice line up with God’s word?  If the answers are yes; take their advice to Jesus in prayer.  Pray expecting an answer and Jesus will bless you with one.   The following quote is from Pastor Jon Lilley’s blog; “The Main Ingredient For Success at; http://jonlilley.com/2013/04/11/the-main-ingredient-for-success/ “.   “Have you ever tried to do something by yourself without God’s help? When we try to do things on own, what we achieve may flourish for a time, but those accomplishments will never last if God is not part of what we are doing. There are many recipes for success out there, but if your recipe does not include God, you will not succeed in the end.”       Do you feel that Jesus is reaching out to you?  If the answer is yes please click the following link;   http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm         The Feast   Sat, April 13, 2013,  2 Chronicles 22, - “The reign of Ahaziah, Athaliah destroys the royal family”  – Matthew Henry Concise                       Pastor Glen’s complete Devotional Series |Click Here|   See Destiny by Sandra Lee |Click Here|   The Holy Spirit Is Calling by R.

Who do you hang out with?

Who do you hang out with?       April 12, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 21     Return to Admenu Home           Dear  Saints,   Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 21.  Today we see the wicked reign of Jehoram.   Jehoram’s end was miserable.  He didn’t follow after the ways of his father.  “19 In the course of time, at the end of two years, his bowels came out because of the disease, and he died in great agony. His people made no fire in his honor, like the fires made for his fathers. 20 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed with no one's regret. They buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.” 2 Chronicles 21:19-20 English Standard Version (ESV). The question might be why didn’t he cling to God?  These verses tell us because; “he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife…’ ( see 2 Chronicles 21:6}  So he shouldn’t marry her because of her father?  Her farther Ahab did evil in the sight of the Lord, more than all who were before him. (see 1 Kings 16).   Just as a twig is bent so shall it grow.  If she would have departed from the ways of her father and turned to God then things would have turned out different.  That’s why God’s Word made reference to her and her father.  “[Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus] And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.” Luke 9:23-24 ESV.  We think people will change if we give them a chance.  Jesus tells us a couple of things here that may truly give us pause for thought.  The first is;“15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.” 1 Corinthians 6:15-17 ESV.  So what I see is if she had turned from her sin and accepted Jesus as her savior she would no longer be a prostitute.  I that case you would be marrying a believer not a prostitute. The second thing God’s Word tells us when considering a partner is; ‘[The Temple of the Living God] Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14 ESV. Don’t put a yolk on a colt and a horse. You can’t change anything once you are yoked.  The person must be a child of God when you partner up with them.  Now I’ve only been married 45 years, and already I know that you can’t have self-satisfaction unless your mate is satisfied.  Be careful with whom and where you hang out, if you hang out at the barber shop long enough you will get a haircut.  You know it always feels better when you hang out with people who think like you.  Thank Jesus and let your light shine for the comfort of those around you.     Do you feel that Jesus is reaching out to you?  If the answer is yes please click the following link;   http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm           The Feast   Fri, April 12, 2013,  2 Chronicles 21, - “The wicked reign of Jehoram.

What did Jesus do?

What did Jesus do? April 11, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 20         Return to Admenu Home           Dear  Saints,   Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 20.  Today we see the end of Jehoshaphat’s reign.  He started out seeking God moving in the direction of God’s kingdom.  In the end he turned his back on God.  “35 After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined with Ahaziah king of Israel, who acted wickedly. 36 He joined him in building ships to go to Tarshish, and they built the ships in Ezion-geber. 37 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have joined with Ahaziah, the Lord will destroy what you have made.” And the ships were wrecked and were not able to go to Tarshish.” 2 Chronicles 20:35-37 English Standard Version (ESV). God knows our strength and our weak nesses. He promised that we would be given burdens that are not too heavy (see Matthew 11:27-29).  “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2:24 ESV.  Jesus removed the heaviest burden from us when he gave his life for our sins.  He overcame the harshest penalty (of death) when he arose from the grave.  I know of no other god that did what Jesus did when he died for you and I.  So be of good cheer, do not grieve the Holy Spirit and keep Jesus at the forefront of your life.     Do you feel that Jesus is reaching out to you?  If the answer is yes please click the following link;   http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm           The Feast   Thu, April 11, 2013,  2 Chronicles 20, - “The danger and distress of Judah.
