Can we live in harmony with sin?

Can we live in harmony with sin?      May 19, 2013 – Ezra 9       Return to Admenu Home   Admenu’s Alternate Site           Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully Feast in Ezra 9 .  God’s people suffer for not obeying God.  They took wives and husbands from people who worshipped false gods and idols.  “13 And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, seeing that you, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserved and have given us such a remnant as this, 14 shall we break your commandments again and intermarry with the peoples who practice these abominations? Would you not be angry with us until you consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape? 15 O Lord, the God of Israel, you are just, for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as it is today. Behold, we are before you in our guilt, for none can stand before you because of this.””  Ezra 9:13-15 English Standard Version (ESV).  God had instructed the people not to mingle with idolaters. Here we see the state of sinners who have turned their back on God and have now allowed the sins of their spouses to come between them and their God.  This remnant is standing before God confessing their sins. They are standing before God with no defense for their actions.  Saints we stand before God with no defense for our sinful life.  Because we are truly repentant and accepting Jesus’ sacrifice for our sin we are justified by Jesus.   We should never fall back into sin by marrying outside of our faith.  “14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14 ESV.  That is the point of today’s Feast.  Light cannot dwell with darkness.  The darkness will flee from before the light.  The only way to make a lighted room dark is to remove the light.  The only way a saint can live in harmony with a sinner is to turn their back to Jesus!   Jesus wants you?  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil?

What did God save us from?

What did God save us from?     May 18, 2013 – Ezra 8       Return to Admenu Home   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.  Now we are free to praise Jesus for our salvation.  “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. 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!

How much glory is of God?

How much glory is of God?     May 17, 2013 – Ezra 7       Return to Admenu Home   Admenu’s Alternate Site           Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully Feast in Ezra 7 .  Ezra thanked God for two things: 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!   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?
