THE HEATHEN'S RAGE


THE HEATHEN’S RAGE The heathen here refers to nations and the word rage means violent and uncontrolled anger. The heathen’s rage is a common thing in the world. You see people conspiring against each other; you see people devising means to bring another down, you see men planning harm and evil against men like themselves. You see men not happy with a man’s progress; you see men that thirst for other men’s blood. What a world! You see men not seeing anything good in what you do, despite doing well. You see men ready to frustrate a man’s effort. You see men desperate to make a man worthless and useless. You see men unsatisfied despite satisfying them; you see men imagine vain things against another. Psalm 2 vs. 1-3: Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying: let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. The heathen raged and people imagined vain things against the LORD and against his anointed. The anointed here was JESUS, despite all evidences of miracles, signs and wonders; the people still imagined vain things against Him. The kings of the earth stood up and the rulers gathered together against the LORD and against CHRIST. Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel conspired against GOD’s anointed JESUS. Though all these happened that the scriptures might be fulfilled. They forgot there is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. Proverb 21 vs. 30: There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. They forgot the bible said touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm. Psalm 2 vs. 4: He that sits in heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall have them in derision.
However, after Peter and John healed the lame man at the beautiful gate and taught people about CHRIST, they were seized and jailed. The priest and captain of temple guard, and Sadducees were grieved, because they were proclaiming the good news. They questioned them by what power or name have they performed miracle. They saw the healed man and were not convinced. They conferred among themselves what should be done. Act 3 vs. 16: Saying, what shall we do to these men? For that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. Vs. 17: But that is spread no further among the people, let us straightly threaten them that they speak henceforth to no man in his name. The heathen rage against the LORD and his anointed, but they were being laughed at by GOD, for He has them in derision. As a bonafide child of GOD, you are his anointed. The heathen will surely rage against you, but be rest assured they shall be confounded and dismayed. You just have to call upon your Father GOD, to come to your rescue. He will surely deliver you from all sorts of rage. 1 Chronicles 16 vs. 22: Saying, touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. It is well with us…

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...

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 ...

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES 2! An earthly father will be delighted and willing to do more for his son or daughter, when she/he shows gratitude. How will you feel when you give something tangible to a person and he didn’t show gratitude? You will feel unwilling to do more for such person. Our heavenly Father deserves to be shown gratitude for all He has done in our lives. Thank GOD for what He has done in the past, what He is doing presently and what He will do in the future. There is no little testimony; you just have to appreciate GOD for his faithfulness and marvelous deeds. Marvelous deeds like, the gift of life, which is the greatest of all blessings, good health and sound mind, sleeping and waking up. Many slept and never woke up, while many find it difficult to sleep. We have to see reasons to appreciate GOD; doing these will gladden Him to do more for us.              However, problems, trials, challenges might be in...
