What Should A Christian Change?

We 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,   Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Corinthians 7.  Paul said that it is better no to be married.  However because of the temptation to sexual immorality, it is better to be the husband of one wife.  Whatever your situation is when Jesus calls you stand in that condition until the Holy Spirit leads you to change. We are not bound by God’s law to change our life, body or anything except for sin.  “17 Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him. This is my rule in all the churches. 18 Was anyone at the time of his call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the marks of circumcision. Was anyone at the time of his call uncircumcised? Let him not seek circumcision.19 For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God.” 1 Corinthians 7:17-19, English Standard Version (ESV).  This doesn’t mean that we stay ignorant of God’s purpose for our lives.  God wants all or us to be prepared, man or women for the purpose he called each of us for.  “14 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.” 1 John 5:14-15, ESV.  Notice the verse said; “according to his will”. How do we know if we are in God’s will when we are seeking something?  By prayer and study in God’s Word we will learn to yield to the Holy Spirit.  If a change glorifies Jesus you’re on the right track.  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.  Today’s Verse;4 Sing to God, sing praises to his name;     lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts; his name is the Lord;     exult before him! 5 Father of the fatherless and protector of widows     is God in his holy habitation. ” Psalm 68:4-5, ESV.  God Bless You, Brother Mike   Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com

Where Do Thoughts Lead?

The Best of the Feast Jun. 16, 2016 – 1 Corinthians 6 Where Do Thoughts Lead?   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. Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Corinthians 6.    Paul cautions against going to law in heathen courts.  If we the Saints are going to be judges of angels isn’t it a wonder that we can’t settle our matters within the church? Surely we can find someone in the church wise enough to make a judgment. The laws of men can’t forgive or nullify sin. Sins are like cancer to the soul, if lived and died in, they will keep us out of the kingdom of God.   Our bodies, which are the members of Christ, and temples of the Holy Ghost, must not be defiled. “18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, English Standard Version (ESV).  Am I talking out of church or do we know what sin is?   Sin is any act or thought that is contrary to God! The sin that goes on unrepentant in a person’s life separates them from God. “9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.”  1 Corinthians 6:9-11, ESV.  Saints understand this we have been forgiven of every sin we every committed when we repent and ask Jesus into our life.  If you were cleaned from cancer would you try to get it back?  No!  Cancer kills the body just as sin kills our spirit.  Any believer who turns back to their sin is likened to a dog turning back to its vomit. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, let’s not grieve Him.  God has a purpose for your life let’s avoid sinful thought, because that’s what leads to the act of sinning.  Enjoy Jesus’ righteousness, yield to the Holy Spirit because that leads us to glory!  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.  Today’s Verse; “13 As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.” Psalm 103:13, ESV.  God Bless You, Brother Mike   Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com

A Little Sin Goes A Long Way!

The Best of the Feast Jun. 15, 2016 – 1 Corinthians 5 A Little Sin Goes A Long Way! 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. Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Corinthians 5.    Paul isn’t just condemning sexual immorality among the Saints at Corinth; He is telling the Saints to cast out all who are living in sin.  This means the unrepentant. We are new creatures in Jesus; living free from sin. “12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? 13 God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”” 1 Corinthians 5:12-13 English Standard Version (ESV).  This is not about those in the world who do not know Jesus.  We approach them in love telling them of God’s grace.  The question is how do we approach the sinner who is already a member of the Church, a confessed saint? We turn to God’s owner’s manual for souls, the bible. “15 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.” Matthew 18:15-17, ESV.  This is right in that we don’t gossip.  We don’t turn on the saint like they are sin itself.  We lovingly go to the sinner as God’s word instructs us; 1.    We go to the backslider in private 2.    We go to the backslider in the company of 2 or 3 witnessing Saints 3.     Bring the matter to the church family If at any one of these steps the saint repents you have gained a brother.  The matter is no longer a problem worth speaking of.  These steps are a must because sin is like cancer!  A little bit spreads to the whole body. 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.  Today’s Verse; “20 The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.” Proverbs 23:24, ESV.  God Bless You, Brother Mike   Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com

How Do We Mature

We 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,   Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Corinthians 4  ←(Hyperlink).  The true character of gospel ministers are merely servants of Jesus and weren’t to be considered less.  They hold an honorable office. We under no circumstance should despise ministers of Christ.  Like Paul we regard those whom we lead to Jesus as spiritual children.  Do we glorify God best in chastisement or love?  “18 Some are arrogant, as though I were not coming to you. 19 But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power. 20 For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. 21 What do you wish? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love in a spirit of gentleness?” 1 Corinthians 4:18-21, English Standard Version (ESV). The Holy Spirit will tell us what we need to do and how we should share, carry ourselves and share God’s grace as Jesus’ followers.  “15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,” Ephesians 4:15, ESV.  Herein is where our truth lies, our relationship with Jesus should teach us to become more Christ like in faith, love and grace as we mature.  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.  Today’s Verse; “20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,” Philippians 3:20, ESV.  God Bless You, Brother Mike   Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com

What Gives Us Confidence?

We 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,   Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Corinthians 3  ←(Hyperlink).  Do you suppose yourself wiser than another in God’s scripture because you have known Jesus longer?  Don’t fool yourself for the quality of our relationship with Jesus is far more important the length of our relationship.  “18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.19 For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” 20 and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” 21 So let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, 23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.” 1 Corinthians 3:18-23, English Standard Version (ESV). Only the worldly automatically counts age as wisdom!  Only God can see the inner most thoughts of each believer.  We are all servants of the same God; no believer should set himself above another because Jesus rescued him before the other.  As believers we can definitely know Jesus who paid for our sins. “25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.” Job 19:25, ESV. We are sure of our redeemer because the Holy Spirit with whom we are sealed gives us confidence in the Word and love of God!  This is folly in the eyes of the unbelievers because they are not sealed with the Holy Spirit.   “16 So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil. 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.” Romans 14:16-18, ESV.  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.  Today’s Verse; “13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”” Luke 11:13, ESV.  God Bless You, Brother Mike   Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com

What Am I Waiting For?

We 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,   Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Corinthians 2.  The apostle preached Christ crucified.  We don’t know the mind of God; however we are educated by the Holy Spirit, in this doctrine. We can understand God’s intentions by the Holy Spirit.  “14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2:14-16, English Standard Version (ESV).  We serve God proclaiming salvation through Jesus.  We are not proclaiming equality with Jesus, we claim justification through Jesus!   “5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.” Philippians 2:5-8, ESV.  We serve Jesus in love grateful thankfulness for salvation.  We offer to share salvation with every person, emulating the grace that Jesus showed us on the cross.  As we wait on the Lord, we can join Pastor Glen in prayer; “PRAYER FOR TODAY: Dear Jesus: We vow to “stay the course” and Lord we need help to restore the core beliefs among your people, namely recognition that God is our help and deliverer. We seek a revival that brings us to our knees asking for forgiveness.

Why Do We Keep It Simple?

We 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,   Today we prayerfully begin to Feast in 1 Corinthians 1.   Do you wonder why we refer to my brothers and sisters in Jesus as Saints?   “2 To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 1:2-3, English Standard Version (ESV).  Because it is scriptural!  We should continue to hold our work up to the Word of God.  “29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” ” 1 Corinthians 1:29-31, ESV.  We want to reach as many as we can for Jesus.  It is for that reason why we keep it simple.  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.   “The Corinthian church contained some Jews, but more Gentiles, and the apostle had to contend with the superstition of the one, and the sinful conduct of the other. The peace of this church was disturbed by false teachers, who undermined the influence of the apostle. Two parties were the result; one contending earnestly for the Jewish ceremonies, the other indulging in excesses contrary to the gospel, to which they were especially led by the luxury and the sins which prevailed around them. This epistle was written to rebuke some disorderly conduct, of which the apostle had been apprized, and to give advice as to some points whereon his judgment was requested by the Corinthians. Thus the scope was twofold. 1. To apply suitable remedies to the disorders and abuses which prevailed among them. 2. To give satisfactory answers on all the points upon which his advice had been desired. The address, and Christian mildness, yet firmness, with which the apostle writes, and goes on from general truths directly to oppose the errors and evil conduct of the Corinthians, is very remarkable. He states the truth and the will of God, as to various matters, with great force of argument and animation of style.”  Matthew Henry Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise),  God Bless You, Brother Mike   Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com
