TEACH THEM THE WORD

-

2Kings 23:1-3

Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.

And the king went up to the Temple of the Lord with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, along with the priests and the prophets—all the people from the least to the greatest. There the king read to them the entire Book of the Covenant that had been found in the Lord’s Temple.

The king took his place of authority beside the pillar and renewed the covenant in the Lord’s presence. He pledged to obey the Lord by keeping all his commands, laws, and decrees with all his heart and soul. In this way, he confirmed all the terms of the covenant that were written in the scroll, and all the people pledged themselves to the covenant.


King Josiah was shown the book of the Lord found by the high priest Hilkiah, this really broke Josiah's heart, and as we saw yesterday he tore his clothes in sorrow.


HE DID NOT STOP THERE, HE TOOK ACTION!!!


The king took steps immediately, he called all the elders and all the people, and he read the law to them.


That is it, you take action, you teach them the word.


Are you a father, mother, guidian or in any position of influence, it is your duty to teach those under you the ways of the Lord. Take responsibility starting from your home, your immediate family.


If Hezekiah had done this I do not think his children would have gone astray, however, everyone would yet choose their path. Just play your part as the leader.


Josiah led the people to renew their covenant with God. However, the damage had been done, the atrocities from that of king Solomon up till his grandfather Manasseh and then his father Amnon was still everywhere. He began to destroy them nevertheless.


A large part of 2Kings 22(do read through it), showed us the massive work Josiah went on to do to destroy all these evils that his fathers had created!


What are we building today that will take the heart of our people away from the Lord?


Can we save the next generation, can we expose them to the true word of God.


Not the prosperity or materialistic gospel flying everywhere, but the true gospel of faith that Christ brought to us.


Are we not tired of all these charlatans displaying idol worship, magic, lies, and different types of perverse things in the name of Jesus. Enough is enough. Can we be serious.


Begin from your homes, teach your children the way of the Lord.

The scriptures is not hidden, stop running from one prophet, pastor, general overseer, program to another, can we stay where we are and serve the God who is not limited by time and space.


Can we develop the character of love, power and a sound mind. Can all these lies and deceit on the altars end?


Enough of all these foolishness, enough of the love of the world and the things of the world. Can we focus on God?


Teach them the truth. 


But how can you if you are also deceived and have begun to worship man, money, material things, instead of God.


O help us Good Lord.


Bring us to the right path, yes the ancient right path, where You reign as King in our lives.


Help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Loving Father, bring Your children back to You. Take away our ignorance fill us with wisdom to walk aright and lead those under our care aright. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
