GOD'S ZEAL

GOD’S ZEAL
Zeal is the tireless devotion for a person, cause or ideal and determination in its furtherance. It means diligent, enthusiasm, powerful interest. GOD’s powerful interest to his creation is that they don’t perish. We men are creation of GOD. GOD has a powerful interest in men; but most men don’t. Despite the wickedness of men, despite men’s deceitful and desperate heart, GOD still has a powerful interest in him. Psalm 8 vs. 4: What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? David said when I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? Jeremiah 17 vs. 9: The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? GOD made man have dominion over the works of His hand, and put all things under man’s feet, because he has a powerful interest in men. GOD’s powerful interest made him send us his only begotten son JESUS, to die for the sins and debt of men. John 3 vs. 16: For GOD so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. GOD sent his Son that through JESUS, men might have life again. Through Him, He showed men GOD’s plan of salvation. He made men acceptable to GOD, he made men pure and holy and He gave himself to purchase our salvation. This is only what a powerful interest can do. The bible said if anyone is going to boast, let him boast only of what the Lord has done. GOD did this, because of His powerful interest in men.

         Isaiah 9 vs. 6-7: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty GOD, The Everlasting Father, and The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom to order it; and to establish it with judgment and with justice from hereafter even forever. The zeal of the Lord of Host will perform this. The zeal of the Lord of Host brought forth his son JESUS. It will be good if we men also have such powerful interest in our Maker. It will be good we come back to GOD, having powerful interest in Him again. GOD’s love to men is immeasurable. It will be good men love him likewise. He said, if you love me, keep my commandments. Men let the enthusiasm about GOD return again, let the zeal to obey his will and commandment return again. Let the hunger and thirst for righteousness return again. Let the zeal to serve him in spirit and truth return again. We can’t have two masters. We can’t serve GOD and also serve mammon; I beseech you, serve GOD. It is well with us….

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...

HE THAT COVERS

HE THAT COVERS To cover is to hide and to conceal. A man cannot be wiser than his Maker or Creator. GOD is our Maker; He molded us and formed us into what we are. He is the Potter, we are the clay. Jeremiah 18 vs. 6: O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? Says the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the Potter’s hand, so are you in my hand O house of Israel. GOD sees all and His foolishness is wiser than man’s strength. 1 Corinthians 1 vs. 25: Because the foolishness of GOD is wiser than men, and the weakness of GOD is stronger than men. A man that covers his sins prospers not; but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Proverbs 28 vs. 13: Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Cain was a tiller of the ground; Abel was his brother and was a keeper of sheep. Cain brought fruits of the soil as an offering to GOD, Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat; which the...

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...
