Hot and cold running faith?
April 16, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 25
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 25. Amaziah, king of Judah wasn’t an enemy to religion.
It was evident that King Amaziah didn’t
have a personal relationship with God.
That would count as a forgone position when he worships the idols of
Edom. Amaziah would not listen to the word of God, because he had sought the
gods of Edom. Amaziah's rash challenge
would cause his kingdom to be delivered into the hand of their enemies. “25 Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after
the death of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel. 26 Now the rest of
the deeds of Amaziah, from first to last, are they not written in the Book of
the Kings of Judah and Israel? 27 From the time when he turned away from the
Lord they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish.
But they sent after him to Lachish and put him to death there.” 2 Chronicles 25:25-27 English Standard
Version (ESV). Where exactly did Amaziah
fall from God’s grace? Look at the
second verse; “he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, yet not with a
whole heart.” If we are going to
commit ourselves to Jesus we must love God with all our heart. “29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord
our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all
your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your
strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
There is no other commandment greater than these.”’ Mark 12:29-31 ESV. God
doesn’t want a lukewarm relationship.
Jesus says because some are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, He
will spew them out of His mouth (see Revelation
3:14-16). “[
Fulfilling the Law Through Love ] Owe no one anything, except to love each
other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.” Romans 13:8 ESV. Let your light shine and love God with all
your heart. If you sincerely love the
Lord with all your heat and love others as you love yourself you’ll be never
cold and always hot!

“For
because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God,
attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom
taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is
owed, honor to whom honor is owed.” Romans 13:6-7

How do I know whom to listen to?

How do I know whom to listen to?
April 15, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 24
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 24. Joash started out doing what was right in
the eyes of the Lord. Was zealous in repairing the temple.
Then what happened? King Joash falls into idolatry; He is slain by his
servants. “27 Accounts of his sons and of
the many oracles against him and of the rebuilding of the house of God are
written in the Story of the Book of the Kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in
his place.” 2 Chronicles 24:27 English
Standard Version (ESV). Now after the
death of Jehoiada the princes of Judah came and tickled the king’s ears. They
abandoned the house of the Lord, the God of their fathers, and served a false
god and the idols. It seems that Joash took bad advice from his peers. The wrath of God came upon Judah and
Jerusalem because they turned from God. “For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are
ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to
them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect
to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.” Romans 13:6-7 ESV. Don’t
listen to those who would entice you to disobey the civil authorities. Don’t listen to anyone who would turn you away
from Jesus. This is how you can check
on your advisors; When someone gives you advice you should hold it up to
God’s Word. If it doesn’t line up with
the light of God it isn’t advice for us!
The fallowing quote is from Pastor Glen’s devotional; “LOOKING
AT THE FUTURE”

sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them
eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of
my hand.” John
