Can we live in harmony?

Can we live in harmony?      May 20, 2013 – Ezra 10       Return to Admenu Home   Admenu’s Alternate Site           Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully Feast in Ezra 10 .  In the Feast today we see the suffering of the people who disobey God.  What seemed good at the time that their trespasses took place now brings the people to their knees!   “1 While Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, a very great assembly of men, women, and children, gathered to him out of Israel, for the people wept bitterly. 2 And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, addressed Ezra: “We have broken faith with our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land, but even now there is hope for Israel in spite of this. 3 Therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all these wives and their children, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God, and let it be done according to the Law. 4 Arise, for it is your task, and we are with you; be strong and do it.” 5 Then Ezra arose and made the leading priests and Levites and all Israel take an oath that they would do as had been said. So they took the oath.”  Ezra 10:1-5 English Standard Version (ESV).  In hind sight it is easy to see the pain that sin causes.   “May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” . Romans 15:5-6 ESV.  If we want to live according to the will of God, we need to hold any and all decisions up to God’s Word. When we make well informed decisions (according to God’s Word) we bring glory and honor to our Lord Jesus.  When we bring glory and honor to Jesus, we live in harmony enjoying the fruit of Christian living.   Jesus wants you?  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil?

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!
