Who knows God’s plan?

Who knows God’s plan?       March 25, 2013 -  2 Chronicles 3     Return to Admenu Home           Dear  Saints,   Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in  2 Chronicles 3. Today we see a better account of the building of the Temple ( 1 Kings 6 ) more than the land  purchased, we see God’s direction in the construction. When we have complete instructions we are able to finish what we start to completion. Thank God for his Word, in the Scriptures the directions are sufficient for our task.  “15 In front of the house he made two pillars thirty-five cubits high, with a capital of five cubits on the top of each. 16 He made chains like a necklace[j] and put them on the tops of the pillars, and he made a hundred pomegranates and put them on the chains. 17 He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south, the other on the north; that on the south he called Jachin, and that on the north Boaz.”   2 Chronicles 3:15-17 English Standard Version (ESV).  We should read the scriptures daily, praising God that we have been sealed with the Holy Spirit to help us understand, believe, and obey God’s Holy Word.  Our way is made clear, and whatever we start in Jesus’ name is finished glorifying Jesus.  “For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake,” Philippians 1:29 ESV.  Sometimes it is not easy or convenient, to fulfill our tasks in our walk with Jesus.  Maybe a relative may say; You would have more time to spend with your family if you weren’t down at that church every day.  Don’t let the accuser sway you, God’s family is our family.  You may want to ask the person who is accusing, if they would mind joining you at the church.  After all shouldn’t we invite everyone to have a relationship with Jesus?  You may be surprised!  God’s plan for us is revealed in God’s Word.   The following quote is from Pastor Glen Aycock,  “LOOK WHAT GOD IS DOING”  Series on the Love of God   “…This is verbal recognition of God’s deliverance. It should be lively and exalt the Glory of God. We are announcing to all we meet that the Master is about to arrive. Share with the cashier at the store that Jesus is coming any time now and you pray that he/she will be ready. This is good news for the believer but a warning for the unbeliever to repent, believe and be saved. You will not believe the joy of witnessing someone’s life changed with whom you shared the love of God. This is pure joy and will be recognized in heaven. Live your life knowing that God is daily working in your life. Wow that is a reason for joy instead of worry. Let your tendency to worry give way to prayer and incredible joy and peace…“       The Feast   Tue, March 26, 2013,  2 Chronicles 3, - “The building of the temple.” – Matthew Henry Concise       Pastor Glens complete Devotional Series |Click Here|   See Destiny by Sandra Lee |Click Here|   The Holy Spirit Is Calling by R.

Who’s providing the means?

Who’s providing the means?       March 25, 2013 -  2 Chronicles 2 Return to Admenu Home         Dear  Saints,   Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in  2 Chronicles 2. Solomon is making preparations to Build the Temple.  Why does Solomon make a treaty with Huram?  Because he knew they could supply the timber for the project.  That is where King David got the Cedars.  That is where the craftsmen were. We never go to the grocery store to buy lumber, that wouldn’t make sense.  Likewise we wouldn’t pick a baker to set a diamond.  Solomon knew Hiram respected the God of Israel and he would supply his best for Him.  “12 Hiram also said, “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given King David a wise son, who has discretion and understanding, who will build a temple for the Lord and a royal palace for himself.”   2 Chronicles 2:25-27 English Standard Version (ESV).  Solomon was a wise king and administrator.  He shows how he budgets his manpower in this verse.  “17 Then Solomon counted all the resident aliens who were in the land of Israel, after the census of them that David his father had taken, and there were found 153,600. 18 Seventy thousand of them he assigned to bear burdens, 80,000 to quarry in the hill country, and 3,600 as overseers to make the people work.” Romans 6:23 ESV.  I guess because I such a nerd I had to do the math here.  I figure that he assigned management at a ratio of 1.5% of the workforce. That may be a great formula for figuring management for any task. Did you know that you are building or maintaining a temple for God?   “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, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV.  Our Lord wants us to be a good steward of our Temple for he Holy Spirit.  Don’t worry about the cost of maintaining your temple.  Just as he did with King Solomon he God will supply the means.  Use the tools God has supplied, Pastor’s, the bible, the body of believers which is the Church.  In fact when you need something God will provide it.  “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.“  Whenever God gives us an assignment or task He will supply the means.  So be a good steward let your light shine Jesus provides the fuel.     The following Quote is from The Holy Spirit Is Calling by R. L. Waters ”THE HOLY SPIRIT IS CALLING” 03/25/13 # 531   “…If we keep our eyes on the Lord God we will have nothing to fear for He will protect us from all evil. For God is good to those who look to Him and walk in His ways. In V 27 He ask us to help those who have nothing, For God has been good to you. Give what you can and then talk to them about Jesus and what He has done for you and what He will do for them, prey with them, tell them about the word of God. Let them see God’s love in you for them… “       The Feast     Mon, March 25, 2013,  2 Chronicles 2, - “Solomon's message to Huram respecting the temple, His treaty with Huram.” – Matthew Henry Concise       Pastor Glens complete Devotional Series |Click Here|   See Destiny by Sandra Lee |Click Here|   The Holy Spirit Is Calling by R.
