16
Dear Saints,
Today we join together and prayerfully read, 1 Kings 16. The reigns of Baasha and Elah
are shortened because they led Israel to sin against the Lord God. They worshipped false gods and idols. Zimri and Omri were plagued with fighting against
one another. Ahab (not the captain
that chased the white whale) was filled with wickedness. Hiel rebuilds Jericho, at the cost of his
son’s lives. “33
And Ahab made an Asherah. Ahab did more to provoke the Lord, the God of
Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him. 34 In his
days Hiel of Bethel built Jericho. He laid its foundation at the cost of
Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son
Segub, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by Joshua the son of
Nun.” 1 Kings 16:33-34. English
Standard Version (ESV). Listen
fathers you are responsible for your family. Christian men aren’t responsible after they
are raised. We need to teach them to keep
God’s commandments and follow Jesus. “but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your
conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”” 1
Peter 1:15-16 ESV. Put Jesus first, it
is your responsibility as the head of the family! If you are not a responsible father talk to
Jesus, ask him to forgive you. Then keep
the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus. Fathers you are the head of your
house. God will hold you (not your
wife) responsible so, man-up in Jesus!

“[Lay Up Treasures in Heaven] “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures
on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust
destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure
is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21 ESV

Who is responsible? – 1 Kings 15
Jan 9, 2013 1 Kings 15
Dear Saints,
For today we prayerfully read, 1 Kings 15. We saw, Jeroboam sinning
against God, which caused Abijah his son to be sick and die. The reign
of Abijam, king of Judah, started out good, but he failed to obey God in all
his precepts. Good reign of Asa, king
of Judah, he followed and obeyed God in all his precepts. The evil reigns of
Nadab and Baasha in Israel. “33 In
the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign
over all Israel at Tirzah, and he reigned twenty-four years. 34 He did what
was evil in the sight of the Lord and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in
his sin which he made Israel to sin.” 1 Kings 14:30-31. English Standard Version (ESV). What we see here is that as the father
does usually the son follows. There
are exceptions look at King Asa for example. Christian
men and mothers look at the problems we found in this chapter. Children usually proceed in life in the
examole you set. That is why we should always keep God’s commandments and
follow God with all our heart, doing only that which was right in God’s eyes.
“[Lay Up Treasures in Heaven] “Do
not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and
where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in
heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break
in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew
6:19-21 ESV. Jesus set the example for
us, he alone was worthy. As a parent
you must do what is right to set the example for your family. When you are setting the example you should
be keeping the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our
Lord Jesus. Remember parents it’s your
job to see that your children become part of God’s family.

“Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the LORD, the God
of hosts, will be with you, as you have said. Hate evil, and love good, and
establish justice in the gate; it may be that the LORD, the God of hosts,
will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.” Amos 5:14-15 ESV.

The Fall of 2 Kings – 1 Kings 14
Jan 8_2014 1 Kings 14
Dear Saints,
On this day we
prayerfully read, 1 Kings 14 together. We see, Jeroboam
sinning against God, which caused Abijah his son to be sick and die. His mother consulted Ahijah. His prophesy
for Jeroboam, who didn’t keep God’s commandments and follow God with all his
heart, doing only that which was right in my eyes there is destruction of
Jeroboam's house. Both Jeroboam and Rehoboam sinned. “30 And there was war
between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. 31 And Rehoboam slept with his
fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. His mother's
name was Naamah the Ammonite. And Abijam his son reigned in his place” 1 Kings 14:30-31. English Standard Version (ESV). The lesson here is pretty straight forward.
We as Christians should always keep God’s
commandments and follow God with all our heart, doing only that which was
right in God’s eyes. “Seek good, and not evil, that you may
live; and so the LORD, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said.
Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate; it may be that
the LORD, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.” Amos 5:14-15
ESV. Our God has saved us as a family,
and we should do what is right as the family of God. Go forth keeping the first thing first. That
is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus. Whatever we do wherever we go, do so as a
member of God’s family.
