18JAN

8th Year 12-14 Edition 3 –II Kings 2 l The Feast l Purposeful direction! – 2 Kings 2             Jan 18, 2013 2 Kings 2 Return to Admenu Home Dear  Saints, Today we continue in 2nd Kings by prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 2.  Another miracle from the prophet Elijah, he divides the Jordan river.  Elisha stays with Elijah until he is taken up into heaven.  Elisha sees Elijah depart in God’s chariot so he is manifested to be Elijah's successor.   Elisha heals the waters of Jericho, by placing salt in it as directed by God. Those that mocked Elisha were destroyed;  “23 He went up from there to Bethel, and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” 24 And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys. 25 From there he went on to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.” 2 Kings 2:23-25, English Standard Version (ESV).   God called Elisha to follow Elijah.  In spite of being urged to turn back Elisha kept on track holding fast to the path God called him to walk.  He was rewarded for his persistence.  Listen Christians God called us to follow his son, Jesus. Stay on track in the race and God has more rewards for us.  God called us for a purpose, beyond going to church twice a week.  “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV.  God has a purpose for us; it is up to us to stay on track.  Live a Christ centered life and depend on Jesus for the strength and the Holy Spirit for direction to keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  God gave us freedom to serve and love him.  If we are true to him our lives will be filled with purposeful direction.  The Feast Fri, January 18, 2013, 2 Kings 2, - “Elijah divides Jordan. (1-8) Elijah is taken up into heaven. (9-12) Elisha is manifested to be Elijah's successor. (13-18) Elisha heals the waters of Jericho, Those that mocked Elisha destroyed.

Consult God alone! – 2 Kings 1

17JAN

8th Year 12-14 Edition 3 –II Kings 1 l The Feast l   Consult God alone! – 2 Kings 1   Jan 17, 2013 2 Kings 1 Return to Admenu Home  Dear  Saints, Today we begin our feast in 2nd Kings by prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 1.  Ahaziah, king of Israel revolts against God causing the revolt of Moab and sickness. Because Ahaziah called on a false God fire is called from heaven by Elijah on the high-minded officers and troops.  Ahaziah dies because he called an a false god named Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron and not our God.  “17 So he died according to the word of the Lord that Elijah had spoken. Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, because Ahaziah had no son. 18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?” 2 Kings 1:17-18. English Standard Version (ESV).  We are to love God with all our hearts.  Christians never read the stars, call on Necromancers or consult false gods.   That is like saying God does not exist.   “Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.” Philippians 2:14-16 ESV.  Our God loves us, Jesus paid for our sin.  The Holy Spirit dwells with us we have no need for horoscopes, familiar spirits, mediums.  If we need anything we take it to God in prayer, in the name of our savior Jesus.  We keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  Maintain our walk and talk (relationship) with our God, Jesus is our deliverer. The Feast Thu, January 17, 2013, 2 Kings 1, – “The revolt of Moab-Sickness of Ahaziah, king of Israel. (1-8) Fire called from heaven by Elijah-Death of Ahaziah.

8th Year 12-14 Edition 3 – I Kings 22 l The Feast l   God’s message? – 1 Kings 22   Jan 16, 2013 1 Kings 22 Return to Admenu Home Dear  Saints, Today we finish1st Kings by prayerfully reading, 1 Kings 22.  Ahab's prophets, use of the name of Jehovah to please Jehoshaphat, he falls in company with Ahab. Micaiah in order to serve God and give Ahab the truth predicts his death.  Ahab dies just as predicted by Micaiah. Jehoshaphat has a good reign over Judah. Ahaziah's reign over Israel is evil. “51 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel. 52 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and walked in the way of his father and in the way of his mother and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 53 He served Baal and worshiped him and provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger in every way that his father had done.” 1 Kings 22:51-53. English Standard Version (ESV).   The truths in the scripture ring true.  All men have the potential to do evil.  Saints, need to tell people the truth if there is any chance of them being favored by God.    “[Keep in Step with the Spirit] But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16 ESV.  Walk with God no matter where you walk.  What Jesus knows is more important than what men think.  Let’s continue to keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  If God will directs your life, presenting salvation, will be more important than looking good to men.  If we don’t carry God’s message who will.  Our word could save a soul from hell.  Our desire to please men could allow a soul to go to hell. The Feast Wed, January 15, 2013, 1 Kings 22, - “Jehoshaphat makes a league with Ahab. (1-14) Micaiah predicts the death of Ahab. (15-28) Death of Ahab. (29-40) Jehoshaphat's good reign over Judah. (41-50) Ahaziah's evil reign over Israel.
