Today’s
Feast
July 17,
2014-Ezekiel 3
A
Watchman For God
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. Gods Not
Dead!
“4 Jesus
answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word
that comes from the mouth of God.' "” Matthew
4:4
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our
Feast by reading the book of Lamentations Chapter 3;
“The
preparation of the prophet for his work. (1-11) His office, as that
of a watchman. (12-2) The restraining and
restoring his speech. (22-27)
Verses
1-11 Ezekiel was to receive the truths of God as the food for his
soul, and to feed upon them by faith, and he would be strengthened… Christ
promises to strengthen him. He must continue earnest in preaching, whatever the
success might be.
Verses
12-21 This mission made the holy angels rejoice. All this was to
convince Ezekiel, that the God who sent him had power to bear him out in his
work... Surely then the hearers of the gospel should desire warnings, and even
reproofs.
Verses
22-27 Let us own ourselves for ever indebted to the mediation of Christ,
for the blessed intercourse between God and man; and a true believer will say, I
am never less alone than when thus alone. When the Lord opened Ezekiel's mouth,
he was to deliver his message boldly, to place life and death, the blessing and
the curse, before the people, and leave them to their choice.“ - Matthew Henry Concise.
We share the Word
of God (see
Deuteronomy 8:3) as food
for the soul.. A properly nourished soul
(see
Romans 10:17) brings
faith to fruition. The faith we have in God’s Word
(see
James 2:20)
serves
to produce good works.
Like
Ezekiel
we
carry the Word of God and
it yields
God’s
purposes;
“27 But when I speak
with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the
Lord God.’ He who will hear, let him hear; and he who will refuse to hear, let
him refuse, for they are a rebellious house. ” Ezekiel 3:27 English
Standard Version (ESV). God’s Word is a two edged sword (see
Hebrews 4:12) that
separates what is bad away from what is good.
The Holy Spirit will bring to our remembrance all what we read in God’s
Word (see
John 14:26) when we need
to use it. “8 [The Righteous
Shall Live by Faith] For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power
of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the
Greek.” Colossians 2:8-10
ESV. As watchmen
for God we can go forth with confidence in our faith; knowing that Jesus (see
Hebrews
13:5) will never leave or forsake us.
Can you hear Jesus
calling you? Do you want to know God’s
plan for your life? Do
you want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your life? If the answer is yes to any of these
questions please click the following link; http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm

God is Calling
|
Today’s
Feast
July 16,
2014-Ezekiel 2
God is
Calling
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. Gods Not
Dead!
“20 Here I
am! I stand at the door and knock. If
anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat
with him, and he with me.”
Revelation
3:20
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our
Feast by reading the book of Lamentations Chapter 2;
The prophet
is directed what he is to do. (1-5) And encouraged to be
resolute, faithful, and devoted. (6-10)
Verses
1-5 Lest Ezekiel should be lifted up with the abundance of the
revelations, he is put in mind that still he is a son of man, a weak, mortal
creature. As Christ usually called himself the Son of man, it was also an
honourable distinction… Many might treat his message with contempt, yet they
should know by the event that a prophet had been sent to them. God will be
glorified, and his word made honourable, whether it be a savour of life unto
life, or of death unto death.
Verses
6-10 Those who will do any thing to purpose in the service of God, must
not fear men. Wicked men are as briers and thorns; but they are nigh unto
cursing, and their end is to be burned… The discoveries of sin, and the
warnings of wrath, should be matter of lamentation. And those acquainted with
the word of God, will clearly perceive it is filled with woe to impenitent
sinners; and that all the precious promises of the gospel are for the repenting,
believing servants of the Lord.“ -
Matthew Henry Concise.
This world and
everything in it was (see
John 1:1-5) created by our
God. Men loved the world and darkness
they disobeyed God (see
John 3:19) seeking a
place to hide from God’s Light they choose darkness. Just as God called Ezekiel
(see
Ezekiel 2:1-3) God is calling us
to carry
God’s
to our
rebellious
neighbors. We
like Ezekiel
are
called to nourish ourselves
on God’s
Word and
separate
ourselves
from the rebellion;
“8 “But you, son of
man, hear what I say to you. Be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open
your mouth and eat what I give you.” 9 And when I looked, behold, a hand was
stretched out to me, and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. 10 And he spread
it before me. And it had writing on the front and on the back, and there were
written on it words of lamentation and mourning and woe. ” Ezekiel 1:26-28
English Standard Version (ESV). We are not called to get caught up in genealogies,
politics, border wars or anything else; (see
2 Timothy 4:1-5) we are
called to study God’s word and share Jesus’ message. God has sent us leaders to teach sound
doctrine (see
Ephesians 4:12-13) so that we are equipped to carry God’s Word.
“8 See to it that no
one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human
tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to
Christ. 9 For in him the
whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, 10 and you have
been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.”
Colossians 2:8-10 ESV. It’s time for you to make the choice, no one
can make it for you (see Hebrews 3:12-14) don’t allow the enemy to harden your heart. Choose one side or the other (see
Luke 16:13) you can’t serve two masters. Today is the day of (see
2 Corinthians 6:1-3)
salvation.
Is Jesus calling you?

Ezekiel Sees the Lord’s Glory
Today’s
Feast
July 15,
2014-Ezekiel 1
Ezekiel
Sees the Lord’s Glory
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. Gods Not
Dead!
“10 Finally, be
strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.” Ephesians
6:10
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our
Feast by reading the book of Lamentations Chapter 1; “Ezekiel's vision of God, and of the angelic
host. (1-14) The conduct of Divine Providence. (15-25)A revelation of the Son of man upon his heavenly
throne. (26-28).
Overview; Ezekiel was one of the priests; he
was carried captive to Chaldea with Jehoiachin. All his prophecies appear to
have been delivered in that country, at some place north of Babylon. Their chief
object appears to have been to comfort his brethren in captivity. He is directed
to warn of the dreadful calamities coming upon Judea, particularly upon the
false prophets, and the neighbouring nations. Also to announce the future
restoration of Israel and Judah from their several dispersions, and their happy
state in their latter days, under the Messiah. Much of Christ will be found in
this book, especially in the conclusion.” - Matthew Henry Concise.
The first three
verses introduce Ezekiel a priest in the service of the most High God and he is
having a vision. The Holy Spirit of the
Lord came to Ezekiel (see
Ezekiel 1:1-14 )
in this vision he is explaining as best he can the Glory of God.
The providence
of
God (see
Ezekiel 1:15-25)
is
being expressed in all of
God’s
Glory.
Ezekiel
is trying to express the Glory
of God
on the throne;
“26 And above the
expanse over their heads there was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like
sapphire; and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness with a human
appearance. 27 And upward
from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were gleaming metal, like
the appearance of fire enclosed all around. And downward from what had the
appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was
brightness around him. 28 Like the
appearance ofthe bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the
appearance of the brightness all around.
Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of
the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one
speaking.” Ezekiel 1:26-28
English Standard Version (ESV). Prophesy and visions by the Holy Spirit filling the
people of God did not pass with the Old Testament; (see
Acts 2:17) the Holy Spirit is still alive in today’s
Church according to God’s Word. “21 Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive
with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.”
John 15:10 ESV. Remember this at all times Saints (see
1 John 2:15) while we live and serve God in the world we are
followers of Jesus. Let our every action
and word (see
Matthew 5:16) Glorify God in the
name of Jesus.
Listen carefully, is
Jesus calling you? Do you want to know
God’s Word? Do you want to find true happiness, peace and
purpose in your life? If the answer is
yes to any of these questions please click the following link;
