How much of our life do we commit?
April 18, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 27-28
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully read two chapters we continue to Feast
in 2 Chronicles 27&28. In Chapter 27 we look at Jotham's reign in
Judah. The people of Judah were corrupt. Jotham was not committed to the restructuring
of the land. Chapter 28 Because of the wicked reign of Ahaz in Judah. - God gave
Israel this victory because was angry with the wicked ways of Judah. “22 In the time of his distress
he became yet more faithless to the Lord—this same King Ahaz. 23 For he
sacrificed to the gods of Damascus that had defeated him and said, “Because
the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, I will sacrifice to them that
they may help me.” But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.’ 2 Chronicles 28:22-23 English Standard
Version (ESV). It never works to
commit halfway to God. We both confess with our mouth and believe with our
heart; “because, if you
confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God
raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes
and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. Romans
10:9-10 ESV.”
1 Corinthians 1:18 ESV. Our bible doesn’t tell us to put on half the
armor of God. The Word doesn’t tell us
to put on as much armor as suits us (see Ephesians 6:11). Jesus doesn’t ask us to follow him for part
of the journey. God doesn’t ask us to
like him with part of our heart. When
you pick up your cross and follow Jesus, you’re in for the whole marathon. Saints it is true we commit to Jesus all
the way or not at all.

When do we give glory to God?

When do we give glory to God?
April 17, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 26
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 26. Uzziah's reign was good in Judah because he
started out pleasing God. When Uzziah was strong, he stopped recognizing God
as his protector. His pride led to his destruction. Uzziah attempted to ignore God’s order to
burn incense. “16
But when he was strong, he grew proud, to his destruction. For he was
unfaithful to the Lord his God and entered the temple of the Lord to burn
incense on the altar of incense. 17 But Azariah the priest went in after him,
with eighty priests of the Lord who were men of valor, 18 and they withstood
King Uzziah and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to
the Lord, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn
incense. Go out of the sanctuary, for you have done wrong, and it will bring
you no honor from the Lord God.”’ 2
Chronicles 26:16-18 English Standard Version (ESV). Somehow the flesh tends to lead us away from
Jesus when everything is going great.
We need to cling to the Lord whether things are great or we are
seeking his help. Many years ago I
read a sign in front of a church building; “Jesus is not a spare tire to be
used in case of emergency.” Remember
to give God the Glory in all things and seek Jesus in all circumstance. “[ Christ the Wisdom and Power of God ] For the word of the cross is
folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the
power of God.”
1 Corinthians 1:18 ESV. Our righteousness in in Jesus and not of
ourselves. Keep your eyes on Jesus in
all situations. Let us take a lesson
from the apostle Paul; “11 Not that I am speaking of
being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.
12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every
circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger,
abundance and need.” Philippians 4:11-12 ESV. We
need to keep giving Jesus the glory in all things including abundance and
need.

Hot and cold running faith?

Hot and cold running faith?
April 16, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 25
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 25. Amaziah, king of Judah wasn’t an enemy to religion.
It was evident that King Amaziah didn’t
have a personal relationship with God.
That would count as a forgone position when he worships the idols of
Edom. Amaziah would not listen to the word of God, because he had sought the
gods of Edom. Amaziah's rash challenge
would cause his kingdom to be delivered into the hand of their enemies. “25 Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after
the death of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel. 26 Now the rest of
the deeds of Amaziah, from first to last, are they not written in the Book of
the Kings of Judah and Israel? 27 From the time when he turned away from the
Lord they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish.
But they sent after him to Lachish and put him to death there.” 2 Chronicles 25:25-27 English Standard
Version (ESV). Where exactly did Amaziah
fall from God’s grace? Look at the
second verse; “he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, yet not with a
whole heart.” If we are going to
commit ourselves to Jesus we must love God with all our heart. “29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord
our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all
your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your
strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
There is no other commandment greater than these.”’ Mark 12:29-31 ESV. God
doesn’t want a lukewarm relationship.
Jesus says because some are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, He
will spew them out of His mouth (see Revelation
3:14-16). “[
Fulfilling the Law Through Love ] Owe no one anything, except to love each
other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.” Romans 13:8 ESV. Let your light shine and love God with all
your heart. If you sincerely love the
Lord with all your heat and love others as you love yourself you’ll be never
cold and always hot!

“For
because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God,
attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom
taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is
owed, honor to whom honor is owed.” Romans 13:6-7
