The message for the beloved Children of God - Lack of knowledge !

Good morning,

The message for the beloved Children of God - Lack of knowledge !

The words of the Lord, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge. Meaning you have rejected Me (God)! People are pressed on every side by troubles. I was listening to Pastor John C. Hagee and Dr. David Jeremiah yesterday,teaching the truth, when I came home from church. When the spirit was very clear to me, people have no desire for the truth of the word of God. Read Proverbs 19:1-5, Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord. Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour. A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall not escape. Each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. But, for the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity. People are falling from the faith, trusting in the ways of the world, you will stumble and fall into the ways of darkness. Read 1 Timothy 4:1,Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. If we dishonour God with that which is our honour, it will, sooner or later, be turned into shame to us. Read Hosea 4:5-6, Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Understand the people had knowledge standing before them, but they rejected the knowledge of God. Israel failed to acknowledge the Lord, as their God, read Hosea 4:1, Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. People are ashame of the gospel of Jesus Christ, still today. But people are not ashame of their knowledge or feels. People will not listen to the warning of conscience by the word of God. Read Jeremiah 8:12, Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the Lord. When people are ignorant of God's directions by His word, people will wander in spiritual darkness.We must first have a desire to know the truth of God's will. And then be willing to change when we find we are wrong, according to His truth, and His word. The average person, don't understanding how to live by faith, their lives are like a spiritual roller coaster, moving from one emotional experience to another. Heavenly Father, thank you for your wisdom. For it is written in Zephaniah 3:5, The just Lord is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame. For the true children of God walk by Your Spirit Lord, in truth and love. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The weekend message for the beloved Children of God - Follow Me !

The weekend message for the beloved Children of God - Follow Me !

Jesus tells his disciples to follow Him. Jesus didn’t recruit members for an organization; he invited people to follow him. The risen Jesus issues the same invitation to us today. Read Luke 9:23, And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Read that again, it says daily. The question is, who are you following? The first thing that we need is understanding, we need to have discernment to know the spirit by the spirit before we follow anyone. If the spirit is not of God don't follow. How do we know if the spirit is of God or not? First, if the words of the person don't line-up with the word of God, that is not God's spirit. Second, if the person is not seeking God's will, but seeking the ways of the world, that's not God's spirit. And if the person is not seeking the Kingdom of God first, don't follow. We need to put first things first in our lives, we need to renew our minds.The Spirit of Jesus was to do the will of the Father in Heaven. Read Romans 12:2, And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. The Apostle John issues a similar warning, to us. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul or forfeit his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Instead of these weighty words, which we find in Mark 8:36, it is expressed in Luke 9:25 "If he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away," or better, "If he gain the whole world, and destroy or forfeit himself." People of God, take up your cross and follow Him (Jesus). Heavenly Father, let us learn to seek your face daily. For, in this world we will have tribulation. All we need to do is trust God's word. For it is written in James 1:11-12, For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The message for the beloved Children of God - Grateful !

Good morning,

The message for the beloved Children of God - Grateful !

I am so grateful for Jesus Christ, His grace, His Love, His finished work on the cross, and His death, burial and resurrection. I'm so grateful for the word of God, to know that after this life, there is something bigger and greater then this world. Whatever you need today, look to Jesus. Don't rely on your own efforts or trust in your own strength. Rest in the finished work of Jesus and receive His provision. He is our way maker, He is our comfort, He is our strength, He is our healing, He is our source, He is all that we need, He is the only way to the Heavenly Father trust Him. Read 1 Corinthians 1:30-31, But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.Do you know the story of Lazarus in the bible? A true believer, when he or she dies, just sleep; they rest from the labours of the past day. Death is better than sleep, understand sleep is only a short rest, but death is the end of earthly cares, no more pain, no worry and no more sickness. A man name Lazarus in the bible was sick, the sisters sent word to Jesus, that it was serious, it was apparent that he was dying. Jesus visited the home of Lazarus and his sisters Mary and Martha often when in Jerusalem. Jesus responded to the news saying the sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God. Jesus meant that although Lazarus would die, but his death was only temporary, in that Jesus brought him back to life. God was using Lazarus' sickness and death to proclaim the glory of God in that Jesus would be gloried when He restored life to His friend. When God is glorified He is praised, honored and worshiped. To glorify means to acknowledge God's love, mercy and grace. Instead of rushing to the home of His friends, Jesus remained by the River Jordan for two more days. Jesus told the disciples that Lazarus was sleeping and He would now go to awake him. Jesus had said Lazarus' illness was to bring glory to God. Now that Lazarus had died, it was time for Him to go to Bethany to accomplish God's will. Jesus arrived and Martha said, unto Jesus, if you had come earlier He wouldn't have died. Jesus said, your brother will rise again. Jesus' statement is profound in that His deity could not be proclaimed in any greater way. He not only states He has the power over life and death, but that He was the resurrection and life. Only Almighty God has power of life and death as He is the giver and taker of both. In Him is true life and those that believe and receive Him in faith will have everlasting life. We are sure to rise again. Read John 11:34-45, And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. Heavenly Father, we are grateful to you Lord. We are grateful for your love, your spirit that dwell within us. We are grateful for your one and only Son Jesus Christ. We are grateful for the blood of Jesus that makes us whole again. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The message for the beloved Children of God - Adopted !

The message for the beloved Children of God - Adopted !

Our Heavenly Father, persevered and planned our adoption before the foundation of the world, looking for the time when we would be safe in His arms, loved and cherished as His beloved children. Do you know that your adopted into the family of God? Being adopted by God means that we are accepted into His family and it brings a multitude of blessings and responsibilities. For the believers, this means that we have been given a new life and have the right to be called Children of God. Our inheritance is nothing less than the property of all the spiritual riches that are in Christ, both in the present life and in our life to come. This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! Read 2 Corinthians 5:17,Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.God defines the abundance of grace by the gift of His only Son Jesus Christ for us. Who gave what only He could give to pay the penalty only He could pay to save what only He could save, us! Jesus Christ not only willingly laid His life down for us, but He also took it up again. Read John 10:18, by rising from the dead and proclaiming victory over sin and the grave. By faith in Christ, we can become adopted as sons and daughters of the Most High God. God, "chose us in himself before the foundation of the world." Your salvation did not begin with your choice to believe in Christ, a choice which was necessary. Your salvation began before the creation of the universe when God planned the history of redemption, ordained the death and the resurrection of his Son, and chose you to be his own through Christ. This is a great objective ground for assurance. And we should consider it deeply daily. Heavenly Father, help us to be more like you. Before the creation of the universe God, you thought of us, For you chose us for yourself. And we say thank you Lord. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The weekend message for the beloved Children of God - The Joyful Celebration of Holy Weekend !

The weekend message for the beloved Children of God - The Joyful Celebration of Holy Weekend !

The events of our Lord's last weekend before His death. The chief festivals of Holy Week are Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Great Vigil (Holy Saturday). Holy Week, together with Easter, is the most sacred part of the believers calendar the celebration of the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Think about His suffering and brutal death on the cross to atone for the sins of the believers. The Joyful Celebration of Jesus! There are a variety of services of worship, all aimed at allowing worshippers to experience some sense of the pain, humiliation, and ending in the journey to the cross. Good Friday service is a series of Scripture readings, a short homily, and a time of meditation and prayer. Scripture reading and service at some churches are on the Seven Last Words of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels. Read them: "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:32-38). "Today shalt thou be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:39-43). "Woman, behold thy son ! . . . behold thy mother" (John 19:25-27). "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"( Mark 15:33-34). "I thirst" (John 19:28-29). "It is finished!" (John 19:30). "Father, into thy hands I commend my Spirit " (Luke 23:46). Last night, I went at Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church they had a service that was Awesome on the Seven Last Words. Now, let us get some understanding of the seventh day of the week, the day Jesus rested in the tomb, Saturday. This is a day of quiet meditation as believers contemplate the darkness of a world without a future and without hope apart from God and his grace. Ask youself are you commit to God's will or are you faithful and commit to your own will? This is Holy Weekend, not your weekend, darkness is walking on the earth today. Let us not walk by darkness in the next 48 hours before sunrise on Sunday, choose today whom you will serve darkness or the light of the world? Read Joshua 24:15, And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. His body remained in the grave throughout Saturday, but He is not died, it's a time to give back unto Him. Lord, we Praise Your Holy Name today and forevermore. Read 1 John 1:6-7, If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. The great God should be represented to this dark world, as pure and perfect light. We are called out of darkness into the marvellous light. As he is in the light; according to the light which he has given, who is light itself, is in us, and dwells within us today and forevermore. Darkness came over all the land for three hours when Jesus died, an earthquake occurred. The great veil in the temple which separated the holy place from the most holy place was torn in two.Thank You Lord for all that you have done for us, for we are of the light, the veil was torn for your children. Saturday has traditionally been a time of reflection and waiting, the time of weeping that lasts for the night while awaiting the joy that comes in the morning. Let us make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Read Psalm 30:4-6, Sing unto the Lord , O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. According to the New Testament, Jesus gave the Passover meal a new meaning, as he prepared himself and his disciples for his death in the upper room during the Last Supper. He identified the bread as His body and the cup of wine as His blood, soon to be sacrificed for the believers. Understand this meal is commemorate Jesus' death and resurrection. A great crowd followed Jesus to the place where He was crucified. Among them were the Jewish leaders who had demanded His death. Luke mentions the women, who followed Jesus, to the cross. In John 19:25, Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. And the one disciple John, read John 19:26-27, When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple He loved standing there, He said to His mother, "Woman, here is your son." Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. They were the last to leave the cross, His disciples also followed, but from a distance. The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus fulfilled prophecy and bought man’s freedom from slavery to sin. By means of His , Jesus removed any doubt that He had really died. By means of His resurrection, Jesus death proved He had power over death. Heavenly Father, we love you. Hosannah! We worship You, We Adore Your Holy Name. We Worship You In Spirit and In Truth. For the Redeemer Lives ! For it is written in Psalm 18:46, The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The message for the beloved Children of God - Holy Week !

Good morning,

The message for the beloved Children of God - Holy Week !

The commands that Jesus gave to his disciples at the Last Supper was, to love with humility by serving one another and to remember his sacrifice. If you are a disciple of Jesus ask yourself, do you walk in love, do you put others before yourself ? Let us not forget the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior also, children of God follow His footsteps. Before the Passover meal, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. By performing this lowly act of service, the Bible says in John that Jesus "showed them the full extent of his love." By his example, Jesus demonstrated how believers are to love one another, humble themselves and serve one another in love. How many people do you know, that would wash your feet? Not many! I thank God that my feet do get a wonderful message, and it feels great every time. But, we do know that what Jesus was doing is spiritual, it is nothing like it. It's the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, the Messiah washing his disciples feet, that's Awesome. Read John 13:4-8, He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. That's a very powerful statement. Then, at the Passover meal, Jesus took the bread and the cup of wine, lifting it up to his Father to bless it. He broke the bread into pieces, giving it to his disciples. And then He gave thanks, for the cup of wine and passed it around the table. For it is written in Luke 22:19-20, And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. The Last Supper was very significant because Jesus showed his disciples he was about to become the Passover Lamb of God. His blood would open the door to freedom. His followers would exchange slavery to sin and death for eternal life in God's Kingdom. Heavenly Father, we thank you Lord for your love and your Kingdom. For, He laid down His life for you and me, and we give thanks unto the Lord. There is no greater love than someone laying down his or her life for a friend. Jesus' love in dying (laying down) for his children, is greater than any instance of love among mankind. For it is written in 1 John 4:7, Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. For, we have every reason to take you Lord at your word. We walk by faith, not by sight. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
