Do You Hear Jesus Calling?

The Best of the Feast Jun. 7, 2016 – 2 Chronicles 33 Do You Hear Jesus Calling? 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.   “2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God… 4 For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night. ” Psalm 90:2,4, English Standard Version (ESV). Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 33.  Manasseh’s sins were overwhelming as he worshipped false gods in high places.  Manasseh realized where the sin of himself and his people was leading them.  He repented and asked God for forgiveness.  God is awesome and full of grace; God forgave and healed Manasseh and his people.  Amon was wicked even worse than his father.  When he was warned or convicted of his sins he never repented and turned to God. “23 And he did not humble himself before the Lord, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself, but this Amon incurred guilt more and more. 24 And his servants conspired against him and put him to death in his house. 25 But the people of the land struck down all those who had conspired against King Amon. And the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.” 2 Chronicles 33:23-25, ESV.  It doesn’t seem necessary to tell a sinner he is dying in sin.  The sinner knows he is sinning and living in the dark places.  God speaks to the heart of the sinner and God’s servants tell him about God’s grace and how God loved them so much; Jesus died for their sins.  These things infuriate the sinner that chooses to ignore God’s grace. God will not forgive those who fail to turn from their sin. For it is written; “11 As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” Romans 14:11, ESV.   We can accept God’s gift of eternal life through Jesus or we can reject it.  If sinners ignore God’s calling long enough; God will stop calling.  “28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done” Romans 1:28, ESV.  God will not bully or nag sinners, God will simply stop calling.  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

We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.   “17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:17-19, English Standard Version (ESV). Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 32   King Hezekiah and the Lord’s people are still serving and trusting God.  King Sennacherib and his people are worshiping gods made by men. Sennacherib is defeated by the Lord God. (1-23) Hezekiah in sickness shows the failure of his flesh, his sin was, pride. He realized that his pride would be his downfall he repented and called upon God to forgive him.  God forgave him and his reign remained prosperous to his death. “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 32:20-21 English Standard Version (ESV).  Our flesh can make us proud while God is blessing us.  If we turn to Jesus and sincerely repent God examines our hearts. Jesus is true to save us from ourselves and Satan.  Therefore we give God the glory for all things good.  “For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.” Romans 1:20, ESV   There are no excuses if we listen to our hearts and claim the credit for God’s work we will fall.  If we are quick to give God all the glory we will prosper and have peace that passes understanding.   Q: What is the goal of the feast? A: To read every word in God’s Word in about 3 years! To study and grow in faith!  To continually watch ourselves and our relationship with Jesus! 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

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.

Who Do I Serve?

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.
