How much glory is of God?
May 17, 2013 – Ezra 7
Dear Saints,
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.
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! “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!

May 16, 2013 – Ezra 6
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. “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.

“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.

By whose authority?

By whose authority?
May 15, 2013 – Ezra 5
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”!

“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. “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against
the schemes of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11 ESV.
