Even In Our Wanderings, God Is Waiting, In Mercy, For Us To Make Our Way Back To Him.

In the story of Cain, we see the development of sin. Jealousy leads to anger, and anger leads to murder. In this story, we see ourselves in the ‘mirror’ of God’s Word. Here, God emphasizes our exceeding sinfulness - ‘The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately corrupt’ (Jeremiah 17:9). Our sinfulness leads us away from ‘the presence of the Lord’ to ‘the land of wandering (Nod)’ (Genesis 4:16). This is the work of Satan in our lives - Genesis 4 is an extension of Genesis 3. Even in the land of wandering, the hand of God is upon us. This is the meaning of ‘the mark of Cain’ - ‘so that no one who found him would kill him’ (Genesis 4:15). Even in our wanderings, God is waiting in mercy for us to make our way back to Him by coming in faith to Jesus Christ our Saviour. Even when ‘sin’ is a good bit more than ‘crouching at the door’, it can be ‘mastered’ through Christ (Genesis 4:6; Hebrews 7:25).

The Return Of God’s Blessing Begins With A Real Confession Of Sin.

The return of God’s blessing begins with a real confession of sin - ‘our sins are higher than our heads and our guilt has reached to the heavens’ (Ezra 9:6). If God chooses to bless us, it is not because we deserve to be blessed by Him. It is because He loves us and wants more than anything else to pour out His blessing upon us. Despite all of our sin, God’s Word encourages us to believe that the Lord may yet ‘grant us a little reviving’. Pray that God will ‘grant us some reviving to set up the House of our God’ (Ezra 9:8-9). This was Ezra’s prayer. It was the prayer of ‘a very great assembly of men, women and children’ (Ezra 10:1). If prayer for revival is real, it will be much more than pulpit prayer. There will be much prayer, arising from the hearts of many people: ‘If My people pray... I will heal their land’ (2 Chronicles 7:14).

The Prophetic Ministry

Have Faith

It's In Your DNA

God Says, 'I Am The Lord.' Let Him Be 'Your God.'

God says, 'I am the Lord' (Leviticus 22:30-33): Let Him be 'your God' (Leviticus 23:14, 22, 28, 40, 43,). We are to 'worship in Spirit and in truth' - 'in the Spirit on the Lord's Day' (John 4:24; Revelation 1:10) When Christ died - This was the day of atonement. We worship Him, 'our Passover Lamb' (Leviticus 22:28; Exodus 12:13; 1 Corinthians 5:7-8). After 'fifty days' came the Day of Pentecost - What a day that was (Acts 2:4,16-21,41)! Bring 'the first fruits of your harvest' (Leviticus 23:9): 'What can I give Him? - my heart' (Church Hymnary, 178). Blow the trumpet (23:23; Joel 2:1,15) - It must be a 'clear call': 'Get ready for battle' (1 Corinthians 14:8). On the 'day of worship' (Leviticus 23:3), God is preparing us for the rest of the week: 'Be strong in the Lord' (Ephesians 6:12). Pray for the 'fire' of God (Leviticus 23:8, 18, 25, 27, 36-37; Acts 2:3-4).

"God's love ... "

God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.

-------------------

Psalm 78:40-72

‘He brought His people out like a flock; He led them like sheep through the desert’ (52). The Lord brought His people out of Egypt. He brought them safely through the wilderness to ‘His holy land’ (42-43,51,54-55). He did great things for Israel. He does great things for us - ‘He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His Name’s sake’ (23:3). Through faith in our Saviour, Jesus Christ, we have ‘peace with God’. Our sins have been forgiven. We now ‘stand’ in His ‘grace’. In our new life with Him, there will be times of ‘suffering’. None of us is exempt from suffering. It comes to all of us - without exception. In your suffering, remember this: We will not be disappointed in ‘our hope of sharing the glory of God’ - ‘God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit...’ (Romans 5:1-5).

Look For The Blessing Of God In The Place Of Worship.

Without the blessing of God, our worship is empty. We must look for God’s blessing in the place of worship. What we must pray for is this: ‘the glory of the Lord filled the House of God’ (2 Chronicles 5:14). We must look for God’s blessing in the pulpit, praying that the preachers of God’s Word will be ‘clothed with salvation’. We must look for God’s blessing in the pews, praying that all of God’s people will ‘rejoice in His goodness’ (2 Chronicles 6:41). Where does the blessing come from? - It comes from this: God is ‘good’ and ‘His steadfast love endures for ever’ (2 Chronicles 5:13). All of our praying for the Church can be summed up in this prayer: ‘O Lord God... Remember Your steadfast love...’ (2 Chronicles 6:42). More than anything else, we must pray for this: ‘God’s love... poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit...’ (Romans 5:5).

Let Us Dedicate Ourselves To The Lord Today.

Some servants of the Lord complete their ministry without seeing their vision becoming a reality. This is what happened to David. He had the initial idea - ‘I had my heart set on building the Temple...’. He had begun thinking about how the Temple could be built - ‘I made preparations for building’. It was not to be - ‘God said to me, “You may not build a House for My Name”’. This was not, however, God’s last Word to David. There was also a Word of hope - ‘It is Solomon your son who shall build My House’ (1 Chronicles 28:2-3,6). Solomon was ‘young and inexperienced’. He was taking on a huge task. He needed God’s Word of encouragement - ‘...the Lord God is with you...’. He needed the support of the people - ‘all the people will be wholly at your command’. Let us ‘dedicate ourselves to the Lord today’ (1 Chronicles 28:20-29:1,5).

A Good Warfare

Blessings To You

"Look To The Lord ... "

Look to the Lord for help. Pray that the Lord's Name will be glorified.
------

We look at what's going on in our world today. We hear the enemies of the Lord saying, "Where is their God?" So many people are turning away from the Lord. They no longer worship Him. We wonder if things can be turned around. It would be so easy to give up and go the way of the world. This is what we must not do. We must keep on praying - "How long, O Lord? Will You be angry for ever?" We must look to the Lord for help - "Help us, O God of our salvation." We must look to "our Saviour" for deliverance and forgiveness. We must pray that the Lord's Name will be glorified. How is the Name of the Lord to be glorified in today's world? It must begin with us - "We, Your people, the flock which You shepherd, will give thanks to You forever. We will praise You throughout every generation" (Psalm 79:5 , 9-10, 13).

"Don't Be Like The Proud Pharisee ... "

Don't be like the proud Pharisee - "God, I thank you that I am not like other men."

--------------------

This thought is taken from

Ecclesiastes 7:1-29

"Do not be over-righteous and do not be over-wise" (16). Christ is "our righteousness and our wisdom" (1 Corinthians 1:30). We must not take pride in our own righteousness or our own wisdom. We must not be like the arrogant "Pharisee": "God, I thank you that I am not like other men..." If we get "too big for our boots", we may be "brought down to earth with a bump"! This is what God says to those who think they're wise: "Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?" (Luke 18:11-12; 1 Corinthians 1:20). We do not make ourselves righteous. We do not make ourselves wise. "Through faith in Jesus Christ", we receive "God's righteousness." We become "wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus" (Romans 3:21-26; 2 Timothy 3:14-17).

The Goodman Of The House

Mat 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

Mat 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Mat 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

Mat 24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

Mat 24:47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
