LEARN FROM SCRIPTURES

-

2 Timothy 3:16-17

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.

God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.


We have looked at the fifty chapters recorded in the book of Genesis.


We learnt of the creation, Adam, Enoch, the flood, Noah, Abraham up till Joseph and much more.


What is our response to all these records? What have we learnt? What changes are we ready to make?


We see:


*The consequences of doing wrong


*The repercussion of wrong choices


and 


* The blessings of doing right.


We see what happens when a person dedicates their life to the Lord. Also how the Lord can turn a slave overnight to a king.


Scriptures says:


Galatians 6:7

Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.


Galatians 6:7 

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.


So we understand what the book of Proverbs records:


Proverbs 3:5-7

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.

Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. 

Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.


Notice how it seemed people kept being farther away from God after the fall, God's contact with man seemed to draw farther and farther apart. This actually continued, till when God revealed Himself again via Moses. God ensured that man was not totally away from Him. Israel was the link that will keep that bond, though they just couldn't be faithful, yet God kept on with them because it was not just about them it was about the whole world. Christ had to be revealed.


Recall Jacob's prophesy for Judah:


Genesis 49:10

The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from his descendants, 

until the coming of the one to whom it belongs, the one whom all nations will honor.


All led to the salvation of the whole world through the Word of God Himself, Yeshua HaMaschiac, Jesus the Christ 


Glory to God.


May we say like David:


Psalms 119:11

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.


Glory to God forevermore.


May we always please the Lord. He will continue to bless and keep us both in this life and the life to come.


The word will transform us for the better.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
