What Did God Save Us From?

The Best of the Feast Jul. 02, 2016 – Ezra - 8 What Did God Save Us From?   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 Ezra 8 .  Today we read about Ezra’s companions.  Ezra beseeches God for His blessings. The gold and silver are a freewill offering to the LORD God, given to the priests. Ezra and those who had come from captivity, arrive at Jerusalem; “35 At that time those who had come from captivity, the returned exiles, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and as a sin offering twelve male goats. All this was a burnt offering to the Lord. 36 They also delivered the king's commissions to the king's satraps and to the governors of the province Beyond the River, and they aided the people and the house of God.”  Ezra 8:35-36, English Standard Version (ESV).  We are like those who traveled with Ezra who were delivered from captivity.  Until Jesus delivered us we were captives to sin.  God saved us from our own sin!  Now we are free to praise Jesus for our salvation.  “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 ESV.  We gladly share the love of Jesus with all persons. We go praising God the father, God the son and the Holy Spirit, for delivering us from the eternal wages of sin.  We give all the glory to God!  Thank You Lord, Amen! If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.   Is Jesus is calling out to you?  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil?

How Much Glory Is Of God?

The Best of the Feast Jul. 01, 2016 – Ezra - 7 How Much Glory Is Of 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. Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully Feast in Ezra 7.  Ezra thanked God for two things: 1.     1.    For his directive: If our hearts appear good, or if the hearts of others seem good, God put it there, praise him; it is God that works in us, that makes us do that which is good.  2.     2.    For his encouragement: God’s mercy is extended to him. Ezra was a resolute man, this is not from his own heart, and it is God’s mercy that delivered it. When we are enabled to do good for God and those around us, we must give all the glory to God. “27 Blessed be the Lord, the God of our fathers, who put such a thing as this into the heart of the king, to beautify the house of the Lord that is in Jerusalem, 28 and who extended to me his steadfast love before the king and his counselors, and before all the king's mighty officers. I took courage, for the hand of the Lord my God was on me, and I gathered leading men from Israel to go up with me.”  Ezra 7:27-28, English Standard Version (ESV).  People may thank us for doing what is right and good.  We must be quick to let them know that God is the author of any good works by us.  Give all glory to God!  “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, ESV. Let’s follow Jesus is with joy and thanksgiving, giving all the glory to God! If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.   Is Jesus is calling out to you?  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil?

We Don’t Have To Be Happy!

The Best of the Feast Jun. 30, 2016 – Ezra - 6 We Don’t Have To Be Happy!   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 Ezra 6 .  God touched the heart of King Darius. He told the ones who hindered rebuilding that the people of God were working under his authority.  Hence the work was finished and the people were joyful and they celebrated the Passover.   “20 For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were clean. So they slaughtered the Passover lamb for all the returned exiles, for their fellow priests, and for themselves. 21 It was eaten by the people of Israel who had returned from exile, and also by every one who had joined them and separated himself from the uncleanness of the peoples of the land to worship the Lord, the God of Israel.”  Ezra 6:20-21, English Standard Version (ESV).  People and governments may do things that make us unhappy.  Don’t fret over those things instead pray about and for them. They may hinder our happiness but they can’t hinder our joy! Our happiness depends on happenstance while our Joy is in Jesus. “17 The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.” Zephaniah 3:17, ESV.  Our service to Jesus is with joy. We gladly and joyfully serve Jesus obeying God’s holy instructions.

By Whose Authority?

The Best of the Feast Jun. 29, 2016 – Ezra - 5 By Whose Authority? 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 Ezra 5 .  Here we see that God has mercy on his people.  God sent a prophet to let his people know it was time to rebuild the temple.   Satan is quick to influence someone to try and stop the people of the Lord from any good work.  “ 3 At the same time Tattenai the governor of the province Beyond the River and Shethar-bozenai and their associates came to them and spoke to them thus: “Who gave you a decree to build this house and to finish this structure?” 4 They also asked them this: “What are the names of the men who are building this building?””  Ezra 5:3-4, English Standard Version (ESV).  The enemy is quick to confront the saints and ask them by whose authority they are proceeding with good works.  It is somewhat intimidating when somebody says; “What is your name?” “19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might 20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church,” Ephesians 1:19-22, ESV.  This s the answer saints; Jesus is the head of the church!  Those that have accepted Jesus are the body of the Church.  Therefore when you are doing a good work and someone says; “By whose authority are you doing this?”  You can simply lovingly reply; “Jesus”! If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.   Is Jesus is calling out to you?  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil?

To Stand Against The Enemy!

The Best of the Feast Jun. 28, 2016 – Ezra - 4 To Stand Against The Enemy! 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 Ezra 4 .  This is where we see Satan waging war against God’s people.  Whenever the Lord’s people aspire to good works the enemy attempts to stop them.  “23 Then, when the copy of King Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum and Shimshai the scribe and their associates, they went in haste to the Jews at Jerusalem and by force and power made them cease. 24 Then the work on the house of God that is in Jerusalem stopped, and it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.”  Ezra 4:23-24, English Standard Version (ESV).  Saint you can be assured that Jesus is always going to be victorious over Satan.  We need to read God’s Word and pray to be ready when the enemy attacks.  The Holy Spirit will bring God’s Word to our remembrance when we need it.  “15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.”  2 Timothy 2:15, ESV.  This is one of the reasons we try to read every word in God’s Word.  We need to nourish ourselves in the Word of God to stand in the battle. “11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11, ESV.  Take your stand with Jesus!  Please share the Feast with others so that they can be prepared to stand against the enemy.

This Is Amazing Truth!

The Best of the Feast Jun. 27, 2016 – Ezra - 3 This Is Amazing Truth!   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 Ezra 3 .  This book tells us that the people gathered as one man to Jerusalem.  As one man they were successful in their efforts; “…And all the people shouted with a great shout when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. 12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ houses, old men who had seen the first house, wept with a loud voice when they saw the foundation of this house being laid, though many shouted aloud for joy, 13 so that the people could not distinguish the sound of the joyful shout from the sound of the people’s weeping, for the people shouted with a great shout, and the sound was heard far away..”  Ezra 3:11-13, English Standard Version (ESV).  I believe that if we all yield to the Holy Spirit, join together as one body with Jesus as the head; we will do great things and shout for Joy. “4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 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 15:4-6 ESV.  This is the amazing truth; that thru the grace of God we can become one in Jesus.  We must understand that we must love one another in Jesus. Love the brothers, sisters and sinners and hate the sin!  This is because there is no room for sin in the Church.  Live to build up the body of our Christ, let your light shine!

We All Have One!

The Best of the Feast Jun. 26, 2016 – Ezra -1& 2 We All Have One! 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 Ezra 1 & 2 .  As we continue our course to read thru every word in God’s Word in about 3 years.  We start in the book of Ezra with two chapters.  Here is an overview of the book of Ezra; “The history of this book is the accomplishment of Jeremiah’s prophecy concerning the return of the Jews out of Babylon. From its contents we especially learn, that every good work will meet with opposition from enemies, and be hurt by the misconduct of friends; but that God will make his cause to prevail, notwithstanding all obstacles and adversaries. The restoration of the Jews was an event of the highest consequence, tending to preserve religion in the world, and preparing the way for the appearance of the Great Deliverer, the Lord Jesus Christ.”  Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary (MHCC).  Reading this overview made me think about our walk with Jesus. How we strive to partake of this feast for a few minutes every day; “…that every good work will meet with opposition from enemies, and be hurt by the misconduct of friends; but that God will make his cause to prevail…”, MHCC.  How great is our relationship with Jesus that in him we overcome all obstacles. “33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”  John 16:33, ESV.  Today I want to address one more thing.  That is Mothers; we all have one!  It’s about those of us whose mothers were faithful to keep us in prayer.  It’s about our wives who work to make a home and raise Godly children.  For these faithful mothers we say; Thank You Jesus! “10 An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels… 27 She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 8 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: ” Proverbs 31:10, 27-28, ESV.  May God bless our mothers every day.   If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.   Is Jesus is calling out to you?  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil? If the answer is yes please click the following link;  admenu.com/calling.html.  Today’s Verse; “18 You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.” Leviticus 19:18, ESV.  God Bless You, Brother Mike   Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com
