No One Has To Perish?

Today's Feast Sept. 21, 2015 – Joshua 17 No One Has To Perish? “14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” 2 Corinthians 13:14 English Standard Version (ESV) clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. W e will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue the Feast in Joshua, Chapter 17; “The lot of Manasseh. (1-6) The boundaries of Manasseh, The Canaanites not driven out. (7-13) Joseph desires a larger portion. (14-18)” - Matthew Henry Concise. Today we see the allotment of the lands as they were allotted to the people, were not enough for the house of Joseph. God is giving each tribe their allotment. Our God is awesome and fair, because of the population God gave the house of Joseph another allotment. “17 Then Joshua said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, “You are a numerous people and have great power. You shall not have one allotment only, 18 but the hill country shall be yours, for though it is a forest, you shall clear it and possess it to its farthest borders. For you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.”” Joshua 17:17-18, ESV. God gave them another allotment however they had to take it. By the same token God has given his son Jesus to ransom the children of Israel as well as the children of Abraham. The conditions remain the same. God doesn’t force salvation on anyone. It is up to every child of God to reach out and take the gift of salvation. “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.” Revelation 3:20, ESV. God gave his only begotten son so that no one would have to perish. He is not willing that any should perish. It’s not God’s will that any should perish. “16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.“ John 3:16-17, ESV. It is truly God’s will that you reach out and take this gift. That’s the only way we gain a personal relationship with Jesus. It is sad to say that if anyone is to perish it is because of unbelief. “6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.” Luke 12:6-7, ESV. It’s each persons choice to keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of Jesus. I send the Feast out as the Holy Spirit inspires me. If the Lord Is willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow. Is Jesus calling to you? Do you want to answer before God stops calling?

That Lucky Duck!

Today's Feast Sept. 20, 2015 – Joshua 16 That Lucky Duck! ““Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given the early rain for your vindication; he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the latter rain, as before.” Joel 02:23 English Standard Version (ESV) clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. W e will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue the Feast in Joshua, Chapter 16; “The sons of Joseph. - This and the following chapter should not be separated. They give the lots of Ephraim and Manasseh, the children of Joseph, who, next to Judah, were to have the post of honour, and therefore had the first and best portion in the northern part of Canaan, as Judah in the southern part. God's people now, as of old, suffer his enemies to remain. Blessed Lord, when will all ( 1 Corinthians. 15:26 ) thou alone canst do it. These settled boundaries may remind us, that our situation and provision in this life, as well as our future inheritance, are appointed by the only wise and righteous God, and we should be content with our portion, since he knows what is best for us, and all we have is more than we deserve.” - Matthew Henry Concise. Today we see the boundaries of the lands as they were allotted to the people of Joseph. God is giving each tribe their allotment. “The allotment of the people of Joseph went from the Jordan by Jericho, east of the waters of Jericho, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho into the hill country to Bethel. 2 Then going from Bethel to Luz, it passes along to Ataroth, the territory of the Archites. 3 Then it goes down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of Lower Beth-horon, then to Gezer, and it ends at the sea.” Joshua 16:1-3, ESV. Do you think that the tribes are content with their allotment. Are their neighbors truly happy for them? When we can be truly content in our life, then we can truly happy for our brother. We get a peak early in the creation at the pain Satan can inflict when a person is not content with God’s blessings in their life. Because Cain did not do well with his offering to God, he couldn’t be happy for Abel when God accepted his offering. “5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. 6 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.”” Genesis 4:5-7, ESV. Cain failed in his attempt to please God. He could have made it right and been content in his relationship with God. We see what happened because he didn’t do well he killed his brother. Have you ever had a friend or relative get a good gift? Look inside of yourself and see if you were truly happy for them. It’s in our nature to say that’s great, while inside we think to ourselves; “That lucky duck, that should have been me!” Saint’s what we need to do strive to please God. When we are content in our relationship with Jesus, then we can be truly happy when others receive a blessing. The apostle Paul, whose, example we need to follow said it well. “10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.“ Philippians 4:10-12, ESV. This came from his heart, he learned to be content no matter what his physical situation was. That’s because his relationship with Jesus was spot on! Take your relationship with Jesus all the way to the top. “For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.” Psalm 149:4, ESV. We are continuing to keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of Jesus. I send the Feast out as the Holy Spirit inspires me. If the Lord Is willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow. Is Jesus calling to you? Do you want to answer before God stops calling?
