From Our Lips To Jesus!

The Best of the Feast Jun. 20, 2016 – 1 Corinthians 12 From Our Lips To Jesus! 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 11 .  Paul tells the Corinthians that they should be imitators of him, as he is of Christ.  He reminded the Corinthians to judge themselves so they will not be judged by others.  He tells us how Christians should conduct themselves when they take communion.  “30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. 31 But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.” 1 Corinthians 11:30-32, English Standard Version (ESV).  We are reminded that over indulgence in food or drink is bad for us.  Saints must conduct themselves in a manner which glorifies Jesus.  Don’t add hoops for our brothers and sisters to jump through when they are trying to follow Jesus. If someone asks us to pray for them we should honor them by carrying their needs straight to Jesus.  “16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:16, ESV. Saints should be assured that when they ask one to another for prayer that the sin or need is NOT fuel for gossip.  In other words prayer for one and another is from our lips to 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.  Today’s Verse; “36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” Mark 8:36, ESV.  God Bless You, Brother Mike   Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com

Who Should Perish In Sin?

The Best of the Feast (2 days) Jun. 18, 2016 – 1 Corinthians 8 & 9 Jun. 19, 2016 – 1 Corinthians 10 Who Should Perish In Sin? 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,   This weekend we prayerfully Feast in 1 Corinthians 8 & 9  on Saturday and 1 Corinthians 10 on Sunday.  In the 10th chapter Paul tells us how Christians should conduct themselves in their walk with Jesus.  “31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 32 Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God, 33 just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.” 1 Corinthians 10:31-33, English Standard Version (ESV).  Sometimes Christians talk about situations they walked in before they knew Jesus. They may brag about sin and say; “I always drive 10 miles an hour over the speed limit.”  They speak these things as if they relish there sin.  They would do better talking about the grace of God, the love of Jesus or the peace of the Holy Spirit.  Because in these things they will not glorify sin or offend any person.  “19 My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, 20 let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.” James 5:19-20, ESV.  Puffing ones self-up or relishing sin from our past will never lead to salvation for another.  Putting down another’s brand of religion will only offend others.  That’s why we continue to care about Jesus and his love for all people.  If we simply introduce them to the love of Jesus and the advantage of a relationship with Jesus we will win souls.  The love of God, the gift of Jesus and the power and peace of the Holy Spirit will never offend those who are seeking freedom from sins.  Thank you for sharing the love of Jesus with me and others.  Remember God is not willing that any should perish.  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 & Tomorrows Verse; “4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” Ephesians 6:4, ESV.  God Bless You, Brother Mike   Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com

What Should A Christian Change?

The Best of the Feast Jun. 17, 2016 – 1 Corinthians 7 What Should A Christian Change?   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 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

The Best of the Feast Jun. 14, 2016 – 1 Corinthians 4 How Do We Mature? 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 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
