Will We Convince or Condemn?

The Best of the Feast    May. 20, 2016 – 2 Chronicles 13    Will We Convince or Condemn? clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, 6 that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 15:5-6, English Standard Version (ESV). Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 13.  The Feast for today really examines the life of two kings.  The first is Abijah whose house served the true Lord God; and secondly Jeroboam who chased after idols which were false gods. “15 Then the men of Judah raised the battle shout. And when the men of Judah shouted, God defeated Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 16 The men of Israel fled before Judah, and God gave them into their hand.” 2 Chronicles 13:15-16, ESV. God put down Jeroboam the wicked man and lifted up Abijah whose household served God.  I don’t think there were any questions about the outcome, our God never changes.  “14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.” 2 Corinthians 5:14-15, ESV.  As long as we continue to live to serve Jesus according to his purpose God will continue to bless us.  There is never a reason to get caught up in endless disputes with unbelievers.  With kind words continue to share God’s love with them. Our Lord Jesus will convince or condemn them.    If you would prefer to view or print these blogs with a plain background go to http://feastable.blogspot.com/.  If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.

How Often Do We Seek God?

The Best of the Feast    May. 19, 2016 – 2 Chronicles 12    How Often Do We Seek God? clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.” 1 Corinthians 11:26, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 12.  Rehoboam started out great in his walk with God. He backslid and cast away his love and service to God.  Then we see that he repented and called out to God.  God hears Rehoboam and forgives him. However the price of sin was still extracted in that the wars with Jeroboam continued. “15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are they not written in the chronicles of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer? There were continual wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. 16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David, and Abijah his son reigned in his place.” 2 Chronicles 12:15-16, ESV. Rehoboam was never completely dedicated in his walk with God. He didn’t seek the Lord with all his heart. He didn’t always take time to pray.  “7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,” Ephesians 1:7, ESV.  A true relationship with Jesus means we will talk to him in constant prayer and supplication.  We love our fellow man and try to glorify God in every part of our being.  We share the part of our life that makes us shine, with others.  We strive to walk with Jesus in every area of our lives. As Rehoboam found out there is never a time to walk away from God.  If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.

Where Do We Lend Support?

We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “10 For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.” Hebrews 6:10, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 11.  God forbids Rehoboam to war against his relatives. Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem and fortifies his kingdom. Jeroboam and his sons cast priests of the Lord out because he and his people were serving false gods. The priests and Levites find refuge in Judah. Solomon’s son Rehoboam walked in the way of David and Solomon. “22 And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah as chief prince among his brothers, for he intended to make him king. 23 And he dealt wisely and distributed some of his sons through all the districts of Judah and Benjamin, in all the fortified cities, and he gave them abundant provisions and procured wives for them.” 2 Chronicles 11:22-23, ESV. Rehoboam was wise in supporting God’s priests.  We need to keep or eyes focused on Jesus.  “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 12:2, ESV.  Our relationship with Jesus will lead to us supporting our church family in many ways.  Look to God and His Word before you place your support behind any cause or person.  If it doesn’t glorify God don’t support it!  If it does glorify God it will line up with his Word.  Hold everything, cause or purpose up to Jesus’ light.  If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.

What Is It About?

We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! ” Romans 11:33, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 10.  Rehoboam takes counsel from untested, unwise sources. The ten tribes revolt from Rehoboam.  “18 Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was taskmaster over the forced labor, and the people of Israel stoned him to death with stones. And King Rehoboam quickly mounted his chariot to flee to Jerusalem. 19 So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.” 2 Chronicles 10:18-19, ESV. If we need advice of any kind we should take the matter to the Lord in prayer.  If we need to ask a person for their expertise, consult God’s Word to see how they measure up.  “31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.” Matthew 6:31-32, ESV.  God saved each of us to a purpose. Each saint is unique in the body of God. “3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.”  Romans 12:3-5, ESV.  It never was about our religion; rather it is about our relationship with Jesus!  If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.

Solomon’s riches and wisdom made him famous, and then he faces that which is common to all men, his death. “30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. 31 Then he rested with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam his son succeeded him as king.” 2 Chronicles 9:30-31, ESV. We know Jesus and we are called according to his purpose, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit and understanding.  We have peace never ending with God.  Hope makes that peace possible.  For those who don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus there will be no peace, and no hope.  “1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good.” Psalm 14:1, ESV.  God saved you and I with a purpose.  That purpose is to carry the Word those who foolishly believe; “There is no God.”  If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow. Jesus died for your sin!  The only way you can have peace, hope and eternal life is by accepting his.  Is God calling you?  If the answer is yes please click the following link;  admenu.com/calling.html.     God Bless You, Brother Mike Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com

So the house of the Lord was completed.”    2 Chronicles 8:16, ESV. It’s completed Jesus’ victory over sin and death.  Fully discouraged His followers were treating Jesus as an earthly treasure.  On that Sunday morning they were stunned as they entered the tomb to finish the funerary process for Jesus.  “5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. 6 And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” 8 And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.” Mark 16:5-10, ESV.  In that moment they were astonished Jesus had risen.  It was done; finished Jesus has victory over sin and death.  Those that faithfully follow Jesus are forever justified!  If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.

God’s answer to Solomon’s prayer.  If we want things to get better in our lives, cities, states, and countries what do we need to do?  Here’s the answer saints; “14 if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”   2 Chronicles 7:14, English Standard Version (ESV). What are we doing when we turn from the sin?  We are showing God that we are sincere when we ask for salvation.  Jesus paid for our sin with his very life; “He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.” Isaiah 53:3-4, ESV.  Our faith in Jesus shows that we believe this prophesy contained in Isaiah 53.  Because we have faith in Jesus, his light shines in us. Jesus has taken our frustration, sorrows and sin from us, we are justified.  God loves us that much; we are His people!   If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.
