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….

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

WHAT REASON?

WHAT REASON? This write up is a question to us all. What reason? Reason is a motive for an action or determination. To every reason, there is a motive and action. GOD created us for a reason. He made us to worship Him and glorify Him. The bible says GOD is a spirit and they that worship Him, should worship Him in spirit and truth. GOD sent his son JESUS for a reason. He came to this world to die for all our sins . In Job 1 vs. 7: GOD said to satan, where have you been? satan answered the LORD, I have been wandering around on the earth . The devil wanders around on the earth for a reason; he wanders to steal, kill and destroy. vs. 8: Then the Lord said to satan, have you seen my servant Job? There is no person on earth like Job. Job is a good and faithful man. He worships GOD and refuses to do evil things. Vs. 9-10: satan answered and said, sure! But Job has a good reason for worshipping GOD. You always protect him, his family, and everything he has. You have made him successful ...
