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.
“18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who
are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of
God.” 1
Corinthians 1:18, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 25; “The
singers and musicians.
-
David put those in order who were appointed to be singers and musicians in
the temple. To prophesy, in this place, means praising God with great
earnestness and devout affections, under the influences of the Holy Spirit.
In raising these affections, poetry and music were employed. If the Spirit of
God do not put life and fervour into our devotions, they will, however
ordered, be a lifeless, worthless form.” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today
we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 25. Today
we see the order in organization for the temple and the worship of God. There
is two hundred, musicians and singers for the worship service. “6 They were all under the
direction of their father in the music in the house of the Lord with cymbals,
harps, and lyres for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and
Heman were under the order of the king. 7 The number of them along
with their brothers, who were trained in singing to the Lord, all who were
skillful, was 288.” 1
Chronicles 25:6-7, ESV. What a worship service that must be? Does
that give you a hint about what heaven will be like? “23 Search
me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! 24 And
see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way
everlasting!” Psalm
139:23-24, ESV. Some people think that heaven will be everlasting
boring. The believers will get wings and float around on pretty
white clouds. I think that every clean soul that enters heaven
will be rejoicing, singing and worshiping God. The only way anyone
can be numbered in saints in heaven is through Jesus. If anyone
says there is any other way into heaven they are a liar. I don’t
think we can imagine what the future in God’s heavenly kingdom will be like. I
do know this however; I for one want to be in the band, when I get to heaven.
If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.
God
Bless You,
Brother

Who Paid Your Fare?
The Best of the Feast
Who Paid
Your Fare?
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.
“8 Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the
one who loves another has fulfilled the law.” Romans
13:8, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully read our Feast in 1
Chronicles, Chapter 24; “The
divisions of the priests and Levites.
-
When every one has, knows, and keeps his place and work, the more there are
the better. In the mystical body of Christ, every member has its use, for the
good of the whole. Christ is High Priest over the house of God, to whom all
believers, being made priests, are to be in subjection. In Christ, no
difference is made between bond and free, elder and younger. The younger
brethren, if faithful and sincere, shall be no less acceptable to Christ than
the fathers. May we all be children of the Lord, fitted to sing his praises
for ever in his temple above.” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 24. God allows King David to assign tasks
to all the Levites. David organized them according to the duties of their
service. “30 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the
sons of the Levites according to their fathers’ houses. 31 These also, the head of each father’s house and his younger
brother alike, cast lots, just as their brothers the sons of Aaron, in the
presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of fathers’ houses of
the priests and of the Levites.” 1
Chronicles 24:30-31, ESV. Again “God
gave David the Job of management for the temple service.” God provided enough people to accomplish the task. They
were all of one mind no matter what their individual task; they were all
dedicated to God. “17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one
body, for we all partake of the one bread” 1
Corinthians 10:17, ESV. No matter what Jesus has called us to
do, we are all one in the body of Christ. Whatever duty
we are called to in the body, remember there is only one head. The head of the body is Jesus! There is only one name under heaven which we are called by. Jesus is the only one who delivers us to salvation. Jesus paid the whole price for our sin. It is pure joy to serve Jesus Christ. No part of the body functions without the rest of the body. The body cannot survive without the head. If the
Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.
God
Bless You,

Fleecing the flock?
The Best of the Feast
Fleecing
the flock?
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.
“6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for the
authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. 7 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, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1
Chronicles, Chapter 23; “David declares Solomon his
successor. (1-23) The office of the Levites. (24-32) ” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today we
prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 23. King
David prepares the people to manage in in the temple service. “32 Thus they were to keep charge of the tent of meeting
and the sanctuary, and to attend the sons of Aaron, their brothers, for the
service of the house of the Lord.” 1
Chronicles 23,
English Standard Version (ESV). God gave David the Job of
management for the temple service. God supplied the manpower for
the temple service. Whenever God requires something he provides
the means. “6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything
by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made
known to God.” Philippians
4:6, ESV. When the Lord calls on you to do anything be
like David, don’t get upset do everything in order. Look to God
for the means he will supply you with material things needed to do God’s
will. Wait on the Lord, God will provide. Don’t fleece
the flock; God doesn’t need your money or means. “14 So Abraham
called the name of that place, “The Lord will provide”; as it
is said to this day, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be
provided.”” Genesis
22:14, ESV. Prayer, orderly planning and preparation is a
must, faith in God is imperative. Besides that with everything
we’ve been reading have you noticed; when people endeavor to “help God” it is
a mistake. Remember Abraham, Sarah and Hagar? If the Lord is
willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.
God Bless You,

It’s Race Day!
The
Best of the Feast
It’s
Race Day!
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.
“24 Do you not
know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the
prize? So run that you may obtain it.” 1 Corinthians 9:24, English Standard Version
(ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1
Chronicles, Chapter 22; “David's preparations for the
temple. (1-5) David's instructions to Solomon. (6-16) The prices commanded to assist. (17-19)” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 22. In
today’s Feast, David is told that his son Solomon will build God’s
home. King David gives his son instructions for building the
Temple of God. “18
“Is not the Lord your God with you? And has he not given you peace on every
side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the
land is subdued before the Lord and his people. 19 Now set your
mind and heart to seek the Lord your God. Arise and build the sanctuary of
the Lord God, so that the ark of the covenant of the Lord and the holy
vessels of God may be brought into a house built for the name of the Lord.”” 1
Chronicles 22:18-19, ESV. God is building a new church and
each of us is the craftsmen of God’s new Church. Jesus laid the
foundation of God’s new temple on the cross. We are instructed to
continue the building of the temple where the Holy Spirit
dwells. “ 9 Have I not
commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and
do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you
go.”” Joshua
1:9, ESV. As believers we are responsible for gathering
material and building this church. Jesus gave us the great
commission in Matthew
28:18-20. Don’t be put off rather be courageous for the Lord
our God is with us. Keep praying and reading God’s Word every day
because this is how faith is built (see Romans
10:16-18). “1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so
great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which
clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before
us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith,
who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the
shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews
12:1-2 ESV. Remember today is the “Day of Salvation”, its race
day! If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again
tomorrow.
God Bless You,

Looking For An Excuse?
The
Best of the Feast
Looking For An Excuse?
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.
“23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of
God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through
the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,” Romans 3:23-24, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1
Chronicles, Chapter 21; “David's numbering the people.” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 21. In
today’s Feast we see David influenced by Satan, take a census. God gives
King David three choices for the payment price of this sin. David chooses God
to extract the price of his sin. “28 At that time, when David saw that the Lord had answered
him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there. 29
For the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and
the altar of burnt offering were at that time in the high place at Gibeon, 30
but David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid of the
sword of the angel of the Lord.” 1
Chronicles 21:28-30, ESV. Even after God extracted the price
of this sin, David was afraid to go past the angel. Why do you
think this is? I believe it was because David didn’t know
the mind of God. “8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your
ways my ways, declares the LORD. 9 For as the heavens
are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my
thoughts than your thoughts” Isaiah
55:8-9, ESV. This is the reason many people are afraid of
Jesus. They don’t understand who he is let alone why the price of
sin requires payment. I’ve heard many people saved and otherwise
claim that; “Satan made me do it!” The fact that Satan is there
constantly insinuating that sin is beautiful, funny or cute does not excuse
sin. Nor does it excuse the price for sin. Sin may look
great at first but I can assure you it is spiritual cancer. We
have two choices either we die in sin or we accept God’s gift of salvation! The
price that Jesus paid is payment in full. If you haven’t accepted
Jesus I suggest you ask God (pray); then choose this link ( http://admenu.com/calling.html) to
learn how to do it. If you have accepted Jesus you need to be
there to interpret a sinner’s cry for salvation. Let your light
shine and you will never be looking for an excuse. In the process
of letting your light shine you may be responsible for another saved soul. If
the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.
God Bless You,
Brother

What Are The Odds?
The
Best of the Feast
What Are The Odds?
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.
“23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come
after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and
follow me. 24 For whoever would save his
life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.” Luke 9:23-24, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1
Chronicles, Chapter 20; “David's wars.
- Though the Lord will severely correct the sins of his believing
people, he will not leave them in the hands of their enemies. His assistance
will overcome all advantages of number and strength of those that defy his
Israel. All that trust in Christ, shall be made more than conquerors through
him that loveth them.” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 20. Once
again we see King David leader of God’s people blessed by God whenever they
went into war. The armies they fight against outnumber and outsize
them, again God gives them the victory. “6 And there was again war at
Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each
hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was
descended from the giants. 7 And when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of
Shimea, David’s brother, struck him down. 8 These were descended from the
giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his
servants.” 1
Chronicles 20:6-8, ESV. Our God is the awesome God! As
we faithfully serve Him God will overcome the odds every time. “10 But he knows the
way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold. 11 My
foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not
turned aside.” Job
23:10-11, ESV. If we stray from God he will still punish
us. But against all odds we will have victory in Jesus! If the Lord is willing I will post
and send the Feast again tomorrow.
God Bless You,

Enlist In God’s Army!
The
Best of the Feast
Enlist In God’s Army!
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.
“24 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, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 19; “David's wars.
( 2 Samuel 8 )
safety of sinners consists in submitting to the Lord, seeking peace with him,
and becoming his servants. Let us assist each other in a good cause; but let
us fear lest, while made instruments of good to others, we should come short
of salvation, through unbelief and sin.” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 19. King
David was blessed by God whenever he went into war. Again King David
consulted God before he did anything. David trusted God, he had faith
that God was true to his word. David fought in agreement with God;
“18 And the Syrians
fled before Israel, and David killed of the Syrians the men of 7,000 chariots
and 40,000 foot soldiers, and put to death also Shophach the commander of
their army. 19 And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they
had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to
him. So the Syrians were not willing to save the Ammonites anymore.” 1
Chronicles 19:18-19, ESV. God never changes! Our
relationship with Jesus includes serving in God’s Holy army. Keep
this in mind; “12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the
rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this
present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the
heavenly places.” Ephesians
6:12, ESV. When we enlist in God’s army we join in a heavenly
war against God’s enemy. Accept Jesus and turn from sin you will
be sealed by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives us a peace
that surpasses worldly understanding. “25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And
there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. 26 My
flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Psalm
73:25-26, ESV. If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast
again tomorrow.
God Bless You,
