We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.   “11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11, English Standard Version (ESV). Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 31   King Hezekiah loved God with all his heart and his subjects in turn loved God.  King Hezekiah’s faith and love for God inspired his subjects and they destroyed all the Idols and high places in the kingdom.  “20 Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God. 21 And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God and in accordance with the law and the commandments, seeking his God, he did with all his heart, and prospered.” 2 Chronicles 31:20-21, ESV.  God knows our hearts Saints.  If we demonstrate the kind of faith that lights up our life, those around us will be hungry and yearn for salvation.  “28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”” John 10:28-30, ESV.  Jesus saved us and overcame death for us.  We are free to love God with all our heart.  As we serve God so that our light shines we will draw others to Jesus.  If we possess the love of God ourselves, those around us will draw people to Jesus.  So what’s becoming of us? We will become fishers of men. If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.   Do you feel that Jesus is reaching out to 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

Who Do I Serve?

The Best of the Feast Jun. 4, 2016 – 2 Chronicles 30 Who Do I Serve? 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.   “11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, OLord, and you are exalted as head above all.” 1 Chronicles 29:11, English Standard Version (ESV). Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 30   King Hezekiah loved God and decided to keep the Passover house of the Lord at Jerusalem.   King Hezekiah, through grace, turned to God and he was doing all he could to bring others to the one true God.  “26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem. 27 Then the priests and the Levites arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard, and their prayer came to his holy habitation in heaven.” 2 Chronicles 30:26-27, ESV.  God knew King Hezekiah’s heart. God knows the heart of those who serve him as well as those who are using religion to serve themselves.  Though it was easy to see Hezekiah was sincere because he made Israel as welcome to the Passover, as any of his own subjects.  “12 And what I am doing I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do. 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.” 2 Corinthians 11:12-15, ESV.  Saint’s, you and I must guard against those who are using the gospel for their own gratification.  But not only others we must judge our own hearts.  Am I in God’s service for my own gratification?  Of course not! I’m in service to bless the one true God.

Getting There From Here!

The Best of the Feast Jun. 3, 2016 – 2 Chronicles 29 Getting There From Here! 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.   “1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Proverbs 15:1, English Standard Version (ESV). Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 29   King Hezekiah loved God and ruled the kingdom in a Godly manner.  He began his reign honoring God. The kingdom prospered accordingly.  “35 Besides the great number of burnt offerings, there was the fat of the peace offerings, and there were the drink offerings for the burnt offerings. Thus the service of the house of the Lord was restored.36 And Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced because God had provided for the people, for the thing came about suddenly.” 2 Chronicles 29:35-36, ESV.  His kingdom prospered because he whole heartedly followed God. He immediately restored God’s temple.  Then he quickly made sacrifices to atone for the sin of his forbearers and himself.  “20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.” 1 Corinthians 15:20-22, ESV.  The wages of sin are death and we all earned this wage until Jesus died for our sins.  Yes Jesus paid the whole price for our sin and three days later he triumphed over death He raised from the dead.  That is how we were ransomed from death in sin to a good life everlasting. Accepting Jesus as our savior (see John 14:6) is the only way to get there from here.

Do We Commit Our Whole Life?

The Best of the Feast Jun. 2, 2016 – 2 Chronicles 28 Do We Commit Our Whole Life? 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.   “28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.” Hebrews 9:28, English Standard Version (ESV). Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   As we prayerfully read 2 Chronicles 28, we see what happens when people turn away from the one true God. Because of the wicked reign of Ahaz in Judah. – God gave Israel this victory because was angry with the wicked ways of Judah. “22 In the time of his distress he became yet more faithless to the Lord—this same King Ahaz. 23 For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus that had defeated him and said, “Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me.” But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.” 2 Chronicles 28:22-23, ESV.  It never works to commit halfway to God. We both confess with our mouth and believe with our heart; “9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.” Romans 10:9-10, ESV. Our bible doesn’t tell us to put on half the armor of God.  The Word doesn’t tell us to put on as much armor as suits us (see Ephesians 6:11).  Jesus doesn’t ask us to follow him for part of the journey.  God doesn’t ask us to like him with part of our heart.  When you pick up your cross and follow Jesus, you’re in for the whole marathon.  Saints it is true we commit to Jesus all the way or not at all. If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.   Do you feel that Jesus is reaching out to 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

When Do We Give God The Glory?

The Best of the Feast Jun. 1, 2016 – 2 Chronicles 26-27 When Do We Give God The Glory? 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.   “[Fulfilling the Law Through Love] 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).   Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in two chapters 2 Chronicles 26 and 27.    Uzziah’s reign was good in Judah because he started out pleasing God. When Uzziah was strong, he stopped recognizing God as his protector. His pride led to his destruction.  Uzziah attempted to ignore God’s order to burn incense. “16 But when he was strong, he grew proud, to his destruction. For he was unfaithful to the Lord his God and entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. 17 But Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty priests of the Lord who were men of valor, 18 and they withstood King Uzziah and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary, for you have done wrong, and it will bring you no honor from the Lord God.”’ 2 Chronicles 26:16-18, ESV.  Somehow the flesh tends to lead us away from Jesus when everything is going great.  We need to cling to the Lord whether things are great or we are seeking his help. Many years ago I read a sign in front of a church building; “Jesus is not a spare tire to be used in case of emergency.”  Remember to give God the Glory in all things and seek Jesus in all circumstance.  “[Christ the Wisdom and Power of God] 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, ESV.  Our righteousness in in Jesus and not of ourselves.  Keep your eyes on Jesus in all situations. Let us take a lesson from the apostle Paul; “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 4:11-12, ESV.  We need to keep giving God the glory in all things including abundance and need.

Hot and Cold Running Faith?

The Best of the Feast May 31, 2016 – 2 Chronicles 25 Hot and Cold Running Faith? 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.   “15 “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:15-16, English Standard Version (ESV).   Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   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, 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 ] 8 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!

Who Do I To Listen To?

The Best of the Feast    May. 30, 2016 – 2 Chronicles 24 Who Do I To Listen To? 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. “4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?” Psalm 56:4, English Standard Version (ESV).   Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site 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.   He 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, 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. Don’t allow the enemy to tickle your ears; “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, 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!
